Model 1 - The Little Guy!! / Re: 4 racks BB ribs is too much for the #1
« Last post by old sarge on May 04, 2024, 08:59:12 PM »You are fine just smoking on the standard racks. Nothing wrong with rib racks but if the ribs get 'super tender' they could tear and fall. Try smoking just 2 at a time till "nearly" done. This will keep them firm for reheating without falling apart. The reheat should finish them off. For a good bark, try brown sugar. Also, before sealing, maybe you can cut them into 2 to 4 bone sections for easier handling.

« Last post by Ken on May 04, 2024, 07:52:36 PM »I got lazy and stopped cleaning the cooking rack holders on the interior walls. When the food took on a foul smell and taste, I searched for answers. More than one trip through the dishwasher was needed. The dishwasher smelled like the nasty food for a couple more cycles. I learned my lesson.
