Hi
I just got my wsm a few weeks ago and my chicken breasts and brisket turned out wonderfull. Im gonna do some ribs this weekend. Any tips on rib rack or no rib rack.

Welcome to the funny farm!!!

Just kidding... Its a great site with great people. Don't be afraid to ask questions my friend . My Mom lives in Chisago City...

Hey Pat! Welcome to the forum. As Tim said, this is a great site and I'm sure you'll return over and over again.
As your ribs go, you can use the rack or not, I cook BBRibs or spares at least once a week and used the rack, and I haven't... it's your choice.
Yes, my ribs are the best UNTIL someone gives my tastebuds a ride in another direction.
Anyway, Welcome and
Enjoy!

Welcome Pat, When I'm only doing a few racks on my 22.5, I smoke them bone side down on the grate. I only use my rack when I'm doing a lot of ribs. The less things to wash after the better.

I guess I musta needed more coffee cause I completly missed the question...

When I first started out I use to roll the racks and they always came out fine that way... Then I decided I wanted 'flat' racks (no jokes now, I know how it sounds) so I started using a rib rack.

Hey Pat, I hope you pulled that new smoker out for that excellent baseball game last night!

If you have the space to lay the racks flat I would, if you don't then use the racks.

Welcome to the forum Pat. How did those ribs turn out? Any pics?

Welcome aboard Pat! It sounds like you are off to a good start

I don't use rib racks any more, but the ones that I have I bought at Lowes. I just don't like cleaning them, so I do without them.

I feel the same way, we need to invent a disposable rib rack
