Title: Hanging with Big Worm
Post by: 1Bigg_ER on June 29, 2014, 05:32:44 PM: So I installed the unknown BBQ hinge on Big Worm. Fantastic thingy.

Decided to try hanging ribs. Came out pretty good, cooked faster than laying them flat. Used my craycort cast iron grate as a hanger.

I'm thinking hanging meat is the way to go.

Had plans to PBC some chicken but had enough heat leftover so.....

Used the snake for the ribs, average temp was 235. Cooked a lot faster than laying them flat. Cranked the heat up to 329 for the chicken. I don't think I'll cook ribs flat on the grate. Hanging is the way to go.

Post by: sliding_billy on June 29, 2014, 06:23:18 PM: I like that hinge. A local guy had one on his 22.5" WSM at a gathering we did a while back. Food looks great too, BTW.

Thank you Billy. I didn't think that I'd need a hinge until I slammed my cover on concrete the other. I immediately ordered one. LOL

Thank you Smokeasaurus! I think the PBC's secret is the size of the drum and airflow. They nailed that thing.

Post by: 1Bigg_ER on June 30, 2014, 08:02:44 PM: I looked at the Weber hanging rack but it's a one trick pony. The grate allows me additional space for other food that can't hang.
