Season your ribs as normal and use a large bamboo skewer to hold the ribs in a swirl shape. I can place 6 racks on my WSM using this method.


I almost tried this, I might next time.

I used the water bowl, but with no water, and I wrapped it in foil. Supposedly this helps the formation of the bark.

If you do not use the water bowl, and use a full chimney of lit coals as I suggested, it may be difficult to keep the temp under control at the beginning.
When I use the water bowl, by the end of the smoke the water has evaporated, and I get a "bark" on my ribs. I usually fill the bowl half way in order to allow this to happen.
Great thing is, you get to try it again!


Also, as someone else has suggested, the DigiQ is an awesome tool to have for the overnight smokes you will inevitably do.

Happy Smokin'
