After 30 years of BBQing and eating dry ribs I found new life last year with the WSN. I swore I would never go back charcoal again... until I ran into the Virtual Weber Bullet site. I talked my wife into getting it for my birthday. It took a week of nagging and I had to remind her that we used part of our income tax refund in 1999 to buy a Genesis 1000 for her. That replaced our gas/lava rock whatchamacallit. Any way she gave in and she has not complained about one meal that came out of our Bullet. She will never admit that I was right and she was wrong about smoking ribs in the WSM. All I get out of her is MMMMmmmmmmmmm..! Now I look for excuses to invite people over so I can wet smoke ribs. I still BBQ on our Genesis, but give an excuse........!

When I say wet I mean I fill the water pan with water and keep it full. Other than that I use BRTU. I think I misunderstood.... have I?


Generally speaking, "wet" means coated w/ sauce while cooking. I cook on a large woodburner and don't use a water pan, and my ribs are never "dry" in any sense other than lack of sauce cooked on them (wet ribs).

Thanks for that info Tim, I'm still learning BBQ and Smoking terminology. I have Smoked only dry (8 times) so far. I BBQ (Geneisis 1000) wet most of the time.

Sometimes I serve them dry, sometimes I sauce them right before I wrap them in foil to rest for a bit before serving. Usually I do some of both -- my wife and most of my usual guests like 'em wet, but I often prefer mine dry, with sauce on the side.

I usually add sauce in the last 30 minutes or so of my cooking as you can see HERE

But after reading all the comments on dry ribs I'll have to do some of each next time I fire my WSM up
