Fired Big worm up using 14.5 charcoal ring at 8:36 AM. Got to 250 degrees, got the pig ribs on there:
closed two bottom vents and left the third 1/4 open. Average temp 235, never went over 250.
Used 3-2-1 method coz my family prefer fall off the bone ribs. Look how big Big Worm is. Baking sheet fits comfortably, try that on your sissy WSM 18.5 and watch it squeal....LOL!
Fixed up some Beans for a side. Never made it to plating.
Meanwhile, I had another rack going on the PBC aka Craig
For us that prefer ribs with a little bite. These where done in 3 hours, no sauce
Still had plenty of charcoal left, threw some chickens on that bad boy
an hour later
PBC runs circles around Big Worm. Next experiment, hanging ribs in WSM. Ribs come off the PBC with that "roasted" feel to it. Fanstastic
I did 7 hours average temp 235 with the WSM 14.5 charcoal ring. Ended up choking it coz it is about to rain, could have gone another 2 hours.
No issues controlling temp on Big Worm. No regrets buying 22.5 instead of 18.5.
