Is HANGING the secret to better RIBS? | Smoke Lab with Steve Gow | Oklahoma Joe's®️

Should you HANG your ribs or smoke them laying flat on a grate in a drum smoker? Steve Gow from ‪@SmokeTrailsBBQ‬ conducts an experiment on the #Oklahomajoes Bronco Drum Smoker to find out. #oklahomajoes #okj #ribs
Hanging drum smoker ribs recipe:
-Remove membranes from underside of ribs and season with your favorite BBQ rub
-insert one rib-hanging hook in each end of the ribs
-Smoke at 200 degrees (dome temp) on your drum smoker (the temp near the coals where the ribs are will be much higher)
-After 1.5 hours, flip ribs around so they are hanging from the other end
-After another 1.5 hours (or when the ribs reach at least 145 internal and have nice set bark and color), wrap ribs in foil with butter and maple syrup
-Insert rack in smoker and smoke wrapped ribs on rack at 250 f until they reach 190-203 internal, bend over easily, probe tender, and slightly tear when bent (Appprox. 1 to 2 hours)
-Remove ribs from wrap as they finish, sauce them and smoke them another 30 minutes unwrapped to set the sauce
