Watched your video come up on a Facebook post while scrolling... Your video inspired me to go get a WSM. Having NEVER smoked anything in my life, and always wanting to, I embarked on this venture with your video. I made a brisket from one of your other video's and a friend of mine that has smoked meats forever, using offset's and automatic pellet only, was amazed at my first smoke. He said it was the best brisket he had ever eaten in his 65 years on earth. My family lost their minds over it... I then wanted to smoke ribs and instantly went to this video. Round two this weekend. I am hooked man!! Thank you so so so much for this. I can't tell you how wonderful it is. Not to mention your wonderful demeanor and screen presence. I love it. Going to get that rub too!
Troy...your little discussion about smoke was singlehandedly one of the most useful things I have learned watching BBQ videos. I have been trying to get that "thin blue smoke" and I can never do it. Now I learn, I'm not supposed to (cooking on my Weber Kettle of course).
Followed this method pretty closely yesterday and they came out perfect. Used Famous Dave's Rib Rub, skipped the Rib Candy, apple juice spritz every 30 mins., and a decent grocery store BBQ sauce at the end. Also no wrap. Took about five hrs total to go to about 200 on the ribs. Using the minion method like T-Roy kept heat consistent at about 250 throughout. T-Roy, your videos are great.
T-Roy I too bought a WSM because of you. And learned how to smoke ribs and pork butt. I haven’t used my WSM in about a year. I smoke on my kettle since I cook for two a lot. I needed a refresher. Your the man
Really enjoy your videos and they've helped me out tremendously figuring out how to use my WSM. I like the fact that you get into the little details about how the WSM works and those are the things I've had the biggest questions about. I also like the fact that you just smoke the meat how you want it and you're not concerned with some of the ridiculousness I've seen in other videos. Some people just get worked up about the tiniest details and I feel like you just kind of wing it which 90% of us are probably doing the same thing. Keep up the good work!!
First and foremost, thank you for serving our Great country brother! Regarding the smoke: You mentioned "thick white smoke is ok on the wsm, but not on an offset". The reason for the thin blue smoke is because that thick billowy smoke is full of creosote and causes the meat to taste acrid/bitter etc. It is always a good idea to allow that thick White smoke to calm down before adding food.
Just got my WSM 22” today, need the snow to stop in Canada (I’m English) and 6 racks of baby backs is the fist try. Wish me luck. Love you videos and even more so that you a military supporter 🤙🏻
It’s 11pm and I stumbled across your videos because I am looking into buying a smoker. I learned 2 things! 1. I’m definitely buying a WSM to start off and 2. I am starving for some good BBQ! God!!! Those ribs looked so damn good!!! Thank you T-Roy! I learned so much from you!
Awesome bark! I think too many ppl are afraid to let their cooks go that long unwrapped because of what they see on TV. Too many backyard COMP cooks out there! Cook'em how you like'em!
Indeed...if temps gets above 250 too much they wrap. I have the same size WSM and I'm a stickler between 230-250 for 6 hours then it's doing what he does...determine if ready to eat or needs overtime.
Hi T Roy im in the uk watched a few off your videos now im new to bbq and just bought a chimney starter used it today in the rain wow hot hot coals had chicken kebabs also I kept the lid down on my bbq what a difference this made my bbq is only a cheap one but will try some ribs tomorrow you take care
I thought I'd chime in and let you know how fun it is for my gf and i to watch your channel... you asked for questions recently and I'd like to shout out for newbies on a simple weber kettle for a 101 style chat.. once again cheers mr. T roy
True gentleman supporting veterans. Wish Australians were more patriotic. That stainless steel charcoal grate is a must have. Would pay for itself quickly. Thank you for your service, you served Australia to.
Hey T-Roy! Love your channel and everything you are doing here. I’ve pretty much taught myself how to bbq by watching all your videos and malcom reeds. Yesterday I followed along with this one and made the best baby backs I’ve ever eaten in my life. Thanks for putting out such great stuff and god bless you and the family.
I get clean blue smoke out of my WSM but I keep it easy on the wood. The WSM only needs very small pieces. Damn near like the same amount you use in a 22” kettle. Keep up the good work and cheers!
Dmn, T-Roy you knocked those ribs out the park. I was trying to get a plate of those spares lol. Always love that you support our veterans, being a veteran myself. It means a lot. Keep that smoke rollin!
Holy Moly! Arbor Fabricating is FAST. I ordered the minion cylinder this morning. Got an e-mail from Chad confirming the order then a couple of hours later I get a message that my order is processed and getting ready to ship. Can't wait to get it and try making Ribs like these on my WSM.
T-Roy, first of all let me say thank you for all the great videos you've made. They are all very informative and I always pick up a precious nugget of smoking or barbecue knowledge. Having said that, this is the one and only time that following your instructions did not work out. I used my WSM to smoke some babybacks. Turns out babybacks smoked at 250-275 degrees for 6 hours severely dried out the ribs. I spritzed @hours 2 & 3 than every 30 minutes after that but that didn't help. I usually smoke them at 225 - 235 degrees for 5 - 6 hours. I should have just stuck to my normal temp but I wanted to give your technique a try.
Probably my favorite video. As a WSM guy i been trying different cooks for longevity. Bought a firedial and a 14 40 basket for long smokes but I'm loving the basket you're using. Looks good Big Brother
Awesome vid, T-Roy. This is the exact combo of ribs I was hoping to do on my next cook. Methinks that I'll have to cut them in half as they won't lay across my 18.5" WSM the same way you can do it in the 22. Still some great tips here. Thanks as always.
You did a great job! Those looked delicious with the Texas jelly! I can imagine enjoying it with a good brew! Thank you for showing us how to prepare these ribs. Cheers for another great cookout!🍺
T-Roy, I love all your videos! My wife got me a WSM of my own!! And I know how to use it based on your videos! Did a pork butt and it was amazing. Gonna do some ribs this weekend! 👍
Awesome cook T-Roy! I’m getting ready to try out my ugly drum smoker I built. This was helpful. I always learn from your videos . Thank You. I’ll have to try that rub.
I find myself buying and smoking spare ribs more often than baby backs. I just feel like they tend to be slightly cheaper and more meatier. Love the tip on the different smoke on different cookers
Amazing looking Ribs, love the bark and tender and juicy,also liked you didn't wrap them in sugar and honey. Love the tee shirt. Good Luck to Smiling Swine. As always Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing. 😎 🇺🇸.
Nice video. Always like your rib videos. Also ordered 2 products from Smiling Swine. I like that the shipping charge is built into the website price. Looking forward to using the product on my next steak. Even though I was an Army Puke I am proud to support a Marine. May your business keep increasing.
Awesome looking ribs there T-Roy. I liked that you smoked both Baby Backs and St. Louis style and got the same results even though the St. Louis took a bit longer. Def going to look into some of that Rib Candy since you've been using it for quite a while now with excellent results. I also picked up a tip from you a while back on how to maintain temps on an offset. This year I've been using my OK Joe's more than my 22" Weber for smoking and now I leave the chimney wide open and regulate the heat and smoke from the fire box and found it much easier. That way I'm not playing with both ends all the time and just use the fire box vents and it keeps the heat and smoke more even and blue. Thanks for sharing and cheers to you brother!!
Thanks for settling that Thin Blue Smoke argument. I got 3 of the 22 inch WSMs that I've cooked on for years but SOME people just wouldn't believe me lol. Great video.
Awesome firebox...I always use the Minion method for the WSM...Will have to see about that firebox for my WSM. And I usually get smoke rings on my ribs. I use a combo of hickory and apple.
Arbor makes nice gear. Ken looks like he is off to a good start too (Semper fi). If I hadn't just got ribeyes for this weekend, I'd have to go get some ribs. Might still. 🤤
Ballistic BBQ Off the cuff advice, get one Greg! I’ve had mine for around 14 years, it’s definitely worth it. The gateway hanging kit is a great addition. :)
Thanks Greg! The ribs were amazing. I will be cooking more on my WSM this summer. She’s been neglected lately! And yes, you really should get a WSM!! Cheers brother!!!!
Get the 22.5 wsm or the 26" kettle you won't be disappointed. I have the 18.5 wsm & 22.5 kettle , one can fit a 10lb bag of leg quarters with a pack of sausage in the 18.5 a buddy has the 26" and let me tell you that thing is a beast/ awesome! Hope this helps, anyways Happy smoking 🍻
I like watching your videos using the Smoky Mountain grill. I learn a lot. I only have a 14 inch grill, don't use it a lot and don't have most of the rubs etc. that you use so I use what I have. I just bought 3 lbs St Louis Ribs to try. A smoking time per pound for any meat would help me because I do small runs. I smoke a 3 lb brisket for about 2 -3 hours at 225 degrees. Its OK but would like it to be more juicy. Keep up the good videos and thanks a lot.
Brisket is usually around 1.5 hrs per pound, pork butt 2 hrs per pound, and ribs generally take 5-6 hrs to cook. Those time estimates work when cooking at 225-250F. Try injecting your brisket if you don't have access to USDA Prime or Certified Angus beef. Thanks for the support and cheers to ya! Keep that smoke rollin' brother!
T-Roy... Thanks for the clarification of thin blue smoke on an offset vs. a WSM (or drum that I use)... I was always a bit concerned smoking with my drum and not getting that blue smoke - Thanks! Keep kicking ass!
Taking it back T-Roy! I've been here since the days where the rib and brisket videos used to be filmed in multiple parts. I ordered the rib candy way back then and still use it! even some of my friends use it now! glad to see the wsm! back where it all started lol. well back where i started watching you. i think when i started you were only using the wsm? then the yoder came next? stay golden troy!
Thanks for all the great content T-Roy! And thank you for your service. Love seeing that Grunt Style shirt! The wife and I have several, love them, and enjoy supporting our vets!
My wife and I just we're just talking about thin blue smoke (TBS). I tried telling her it doesn't apply to the WSM or the BGE. It's only for an offset smoker. Thanks for confirming I am right....as usual.
Veterans rock! My dad was Army Air Corps. Love your vids. Good for not letting salt dominate..I make my own rub with Garlic, Black pepper, salt, paprika, and cumin in that order of amount. What wood did you use?
Good evening Troy, First off Great Videos! I have been watching you for about two years now learning so much from you. I own a WSM 18" smoker and was wondering how often you clean it , and to to what extent. All I ever seen you do is clean the cooking grate :o), maybe a video in the future Regards , Bud Miller - Ohio
Hey brother, I've been out of action for a while and have a bunch of your videos to get back up to speed on, great cook on the ribs Troy i can almost smell em all the way over here in Australia
Great Videos and great food unfortunately I went to order some of the Texas Rib Candy and they charge considerably more for shipping than the product itself. I really want to give it a try but I can't justify the shipping cost. Guess I'll be inventing my own. I'll let ya know what I come up with :)
Howdy, Brother T-Roy. I just cooked two racks of baby backs on my WSM a day before you posted this. I watched your older vids first, and they came out great. I spritzed with pomegranate juice and used a Fischer & Weiser Pomegranate & Mango Chipotle sauce (from Fredericksburg, TX) . Weee-doggies! Cheers! Question for the chat: Can you do a primer on ribs? Why would you want this one or that one? Baby backs, St. Louis, spare ribs, Beef. Pork. And others? What are the differences? And do they all cook differently? Ok, so that's several questions. But you're a big boy. You can handle it.
This vid was very informative, like it and good work T-ROY! I don't have a WSM but noticed from many videos that WSM needs lot of charcoal. You could use 1/3 of that on a Weber kettle. With a rib rack you get needed space. Any other reason to use WSM?
TohaToni Agree. I only use the WSM for the larger cuts of meat; turkeys, briskets or shoulders. I use the kettle for ribs and get better results using less coals. I could do what he did here in four hours. However, hanging ribs in a WSM produces killer results. If you have a WSM, pick up a hanger for it, or opt for a Pit Barrel smoker, can’t go wrong with either.
Very tasty looking ribs indeed! However, I do not like rubs with salt in them. I rather salt the meat separately, easier to control the level of sodium to dry rub spice ratio.
T-Roy definitely cooks. That looks awesome! Question: When the bark is that black is it bitter? When I smoke the pulled pork and the bark becomes black it’s definitely not bitter - I just didn’t want to ruin a rack of ribs by letting them get too dark.
great video T-Roy! thanks so much, learned a lot, thanks for the tip about the smoke on a WSM, I was wondering about that and I only have an offset. Cheers
Cool basket & minionstarter indeed! Always some good tips'n tricks to pirk up of yer videos Brother.. What annoys me is that you rarely can get really meatful ribs hete in Norway.. most of the time they are shiners.. Hope you are doing good Brother. Cheers!
Hey T-Roy, that was an awesome cook. You stated that each cooker has its own smoke. WSM has the white smoke, offset thin blue. Can you tell us what other cookers are suppose to look like. Pellet, ceramic, weber kettle...etc
Great job T-Roy! I'll take 2 of the spare ribs my friend. Although the baby backs with that grill candy looks absolutely amazing. Man that bite through on the spares was spot on. 🤘
Ribs look great, my wife also likes them fall off the bone! Nice to see you break out the WSM since it’s what I cook on. Looks like you still use water in the water pan??
T-Roy, the most passionate and informative backyard smokin' man.
I appreciate the kind words!!!

Thanks much Paul. I need to use my WSM more often too. She's been telling me I'm neglecting her! LOL Cheers brother!!!!
I learned how to smoke on my Weber Smokey Mountain thanks to T-Roy.
Yeah, man, same! Thanks T-Roy!

WSM is great and once you feel it out, you'll be able to do a lot without needing to babysit it
Thanks T-Roy Cooks. Your videos never disappoint. My WSM is my go to smoker. Seems like I can hold 250° all day!
Awesome bark! I think too many ppl are afraid to let their cooks go that long unwrapped because of what they see on TV. Too many backyard COMP cooks out there! Cook'em how you like'em!
Correct...i was the same way until today...have ribs on for 3 hours
Indeed...if temps gets above 250 too much they wrap. I have the same size WSM and I'm a stickler between 230-250 for 6 hours then it's doing what he does...determine if ready to eat or needs overtime.
Awesome looking ribs there, I am an old Cold War Vet and will order some of that rub. I love trying new rubs. Thank you
So you're a keyboard warrior?
Outstanding support for current and former military. I'll be making an order from Smiling Swine soon. Keep up the great work T-Roy!
Hi T Roy im in the uk watched a few off your videos now im new to bbq and just bought a chimney starter used it today in the rain wow hot hot coals had chicken kebabs also I kept the lid down on my bbq what a difference this made my bbq is only a cheap one but will try some ribs tomorrow you take care

Happy to help a brother out Dustin!!! That's why I make these videos!!! Keep that smoke rollin'!!!! Cheers to ya!
I got my WSM this week and i’ll cooking ribs for my first cook this saturday. I’ve been checking this video a few time to get ready, so wish me luck.
I get clean blue smoke out of my WSM but I keep it easy on the wood. The WSM only needs very small pieces. Damn near like the same amount you use in a 22” kettle. Keep up the good work and cheers!
You are the Man T-Roy! Going to pick up some St Louis ribs this weekend, and cook them with some smoke wood on my Weber Kettle. Drooling!
Dmn, T-Roy you knocked those ribs out the park. I was trying to get a plate of those spares lol. Always love that you support our veterans, being a veteran myself. It means a lot. Keep that smoke rollin!
Brother I made these last weekend following this video. These were beyond good. Best thing I've made. Love the videos. Super informative!
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed the ribs you made and I appreciate you coming back and leaving a comment. Much love!!!!
Holy Moly! Arbor Fabricating is FAST. I ordered the minion cylinder this morning. Got an e-mail from Chad confirming the order then a couple of hours later I get a message that my order is processed and getting ready to ship. Can't wait to get it and try making Ribs like these on my WSM.
Yep, Chad is pretty quick. I know you’ll love his products!
Merry Christmas from Canada. Got my first WSM this morning from the Mrs. I have been binge watching your WSM videos. Subscribed!
Hello from Mississauga, Canada...I just ordered a 22" WSM this afternoon....hope to get it next week. Great videos!
This was great. I really liked the taste test portion of the video. I havent tried to smoke anything yet, but I got a WSM from my brother.
You will become addicted to the smoker. Once I got one, I was smoking two, three times a week.
@t-roy cooks I have the 18” WSM and I’d like for you to do rib tips on your WSM. You give real good instructions on doing it right.
T-ROY... you’re the man,everything I’ve learned is cause of you👍🏻👍🏻
T-Roy, first of all let me say thank you for all the great videos you've made. They are all very informative and I always pick up a precious nugget of smoking or barbecue knowledge. Having said that, this is the one and only time that following your instructions did not work out. I used my WSM to smoke some babybacks. Turns out babybacks smoked at 250-275 degrees for 6 hours severely dried out the ribs. I spritzed @hours 2 & 3 than every 30 minutes after that but that didn't help. I usually smoke them at 225 - 235 degrees for 5 - 6 hours. I should have just stuck to my normal temp but I wanted to give your technique a try.
Probably my favorite video. As a WSM guy i been trying different cooks for longevity. Bought a firedial and a 14 40 basket for long smokes but I'm loving the basket you're using. Looks good Big Brother
wow what an awesome smoke ring man, nice Hat thanks for showing appreciation to us who serve and are serving
It may have been stated but a bunch of that smoke is also steam from the water pan. I need this size next I recently got the 18" and love it.
Howdy T-Roy. That southern drawl is music to my ears!! Much love from Waller,Tx.
Greetings from Russia. Watching your video is always with great interest. Good luck)))
T-Roy. Another great video. Bought three racks of baby backs and that is my quest for tomorrow. I got a few new ideas from your comments.
Just bought some Smiling Swine rib rub. Can't wait for my next rib cook.
Semper Fi Ken!!
Please let us know how they turned out!!!
You're a rib master, Troy! Always love your rib videos. Nice cook, and thanks for highlighting that army vet! Smoke on 👉💨
-Jonathan
T Roy - you inspired me to purchase a WSM. Learning a lot from your videos! Thanks!
Love you bro. You have no idea how much good eats my family has consumed as a direct result of me plagiarizing your methods.
Thanks Raymond!!! I’m happy to hear that. I make videos intended to teach, so I’m thrilled if I’ve helped your cooking skills. Cheers brother!!!
Awesome vid, T-Roy. This is the exact combo of ribs I was hoping to do on my next cook. Methinks that I'll have to cut them in half as they won't lay across my 18.5" WSM the same way you can do it in the 22. Still some great tips here. Thanks as always.
I know this goes against everything but I got a masterbuilt for Christmas troy and I love it it's the electric version of what Wsm is to charcoal
Just got a WSM. Cant wait to use it this weekend. Love you show.
That’s it. You convinced me to go buy a WSM immediately. Thank you for the video.
Best investment I ever made..and videos by T-Roy convinced me to pull the trigger!
You did a great job! Those looked delicious with the Texas jelly! I can imagine enjoying it with a good brew! Thank you for showing us how to prepare these ribs. Cheers for another great cookout!🍺
T-Roy, I love all your videos! My wife got me a WSM of my own!! And I know how to use it based on your videos! Did a pork butt and it was amazing. Gonna do some ribs this weekend! 👍
Awesome Stephen!!!! The WSM will make the meat taste even better the more you use it. Enjoy and cheers to ya brother!!!!
Love this cook. 7 hrs wsm 2 types ribs. Love the bark on the ribs. T-ROY COOKS Responsibly! Cheers to ya. 👍✌❤
Thanks for the smoke tip I too had concerns about the white smoke coming from my Weber.
Awesome cook T-Roy! I’m getting ready to try out my ugly drum smoker I built. This was helpful. I always learn from your videos . Thank You. I’ll have to try that rub.
I find myself buying and smoking spare ribs more often than baby backs. I just feel like they tend to be slightly cheaper and more meatier. Love the tip on the different smoke on different cookers
Amazing looking Ribs, love the bark and tender and juicy,also liked you didn't wrap them in sugar and honey. Love the tee shirt. Good Luck to Smiling Swine. As always Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing. 😎 🇺🇸.
Great Video T-Roy. Wow that WSM is way better than a Pellet Grill. Real BBQ 😇 and you never wrapped them Great Job Sir. Cheers 🍻
I'm here for the "Weber Smokey Mountain" drinking game, and to learn some rib tips!
Nice video. Always like your rib videos. Also ordered 2 products from Smiling Swine. I like that the shipping charge is built into the website price.

Awesome firebox...I always use the Minion method for the WSM...Will have to see about that firebox for my WSM. And I usually get smoke rings on my ribs. I use a combo of hickory and apple.
Arbor makes nice gear. Ken looks like he is off to a good start too (Semper fi). If I hadn't just got ribeyes for this weekend, I'd have to go get some ribs. Might still. 🤤
Man, I have never owned a WSM and I have asked myself, "why?" so many times. Great job brother-Troy!
Ballistic BBQ Off the cuff advice, get one Greg! I’ve had mine for around 14 years, it’s definitely worth it. The gateway hanging kit is a great addition. :)
Thanks Greg! The ribs were amazing. I will be cooking more on my WSM this summer. She’s been neglected lately! And yes, you really should get a WSM!! Cheers brother!!!!
@@PicklesBBQandCooking I know it's a fantastic cooker! Think I need one!
Get the 22.5 wsm or the 26" kettle you won't be disappointed. I have the 18.5 wsm & 22.5 kettle , one can fit a 10lb bag of leg quarters with a pack of sausage in the 18.5
a buddy has the 26" and let me tell you that thing is a beast/ awesome! Hope this helps, anyways Happy smoking 🍻
i have 4 there amazing last for ever, got my first 1 in 1981 still use it today
I like watching your videos using the Smoky Mountain grill. I learn a lot. I only have a 14 inch grill, don't use it a lot and don't have most of the rubs etc. that you use so I use what I have.

Try injecting your brisket if you don't have access to USDA Prime or Certified Angus beef. Thanks for the support and cheers to ya! Keep that smoke rollin' brother!
Happy 4th of July!
I'm headed out to do ribs on my smokey mountain ⛰for the first time had to get some tips!
T-Roy... Thanks for the clarification of thin blue smoke on an offset vs. a WSM (or drum that I use)... I was always a bit concerned smoking with my drum and not getting that blue smoke - Thanks! Keep kicking ass!
You got it Texas's man, I'll be BBQing this weekend, can't wait!
Taking it back T-Roy! I've been here since the days where the rib and brisket videos used to be filmed in multiple parts. I ordered the rib candy way back then and still use it! even some of my friends use it now! glad to see the wsm! back where it all started lol. well back where i started watching you. i think when i started you were only using the wsm? then the yoder came next? stay golden troy!
T-Roy! I've been messing about for months trying to get thin blue smoke on my WSM! Doh!!! Thanks for the helpful info.
Haha. Well now we both know.

You served in the navy? Thank you for your service. How long were you in and what was your rate?
ordered all 3 of his products. looking forward to trying them
My wife and I just we're just talking about thin blue smoke (TBS). I tried telling her it doesn't apply to the WSM or the BGE. It's only for an offset smoker. Thanks for confirming I am right....as usual.
Veterans rock! My dad was Army Air Corps. Love your vids. Good for not letting salt dominate..I make my own rub with Garlic, Black pepper, salt, paprika, and cumin in that order of amount. What wood did you use?
Good evening Troy,
First off Great Videos! I have been watching you for about two years now learning so much from you. I own a WSM 18" smoker and was wondering how often you clean it , and to to what extent. All I ever seen you do is clean the cooking grate :o), maybe a video in the future Regards , Bud Miller - Ohio
T-Roy great to see you cook on your WSM! Those ribs look awesome!
Thanks for the clarification on the WSM smoke. I thought I was doing something wrong!
Another awesome video T Roy, Nice work, out standing bark and smoke ring. Well done
Great looking ribs! I was waiting for “Whoa Doggie” and you came through! LOL Always learn more every time I watch your videos! Keep it up brother!
Hey brother, I've been out of action for a while and have a bunch of your videos to get back up to speed on, great cook on the ribs Troy i can almost smell em all the way over here in Australia
Troy nice simple and pretty perfect. loved that Arbor Fabricating. seemed like a simple design that would work. and a great price to boot!
Thanks T-Roy. Most informative videos.
Great Videos and great food unfortunately I went to order some of the Texas Rib Candy and they charge considerably more for shipping than the product itself. I really want to give it a try but I can't justify the shipping cost. Guess I'll be inventing my own. I'll let ya know what I come up with :)
That was a long one but the ribs really had some beautiful color at the end. The rubs looked good too. I like the Arbor Fab products too.
Cheers Troy.
The Arbor Fabricating basket and minion ring are fantastic .
Howdy, Brother T-Roy. I just cooked two racks of baby backs on my WSM a day before you posted this. I watched your older vids first, and they came out great. I spritzed with pomegranate juice and used a Fischer & Weiser Pomegranate & Mango Chipotle sauce (from Fredericksburg, TX) . Weee-doggies! Cheers!
Question for the chat: Can you do a primer on ribs? Why would you want this one or that one? Baby backs, St. Louis, spare ribs, Beef. Pork. And others? What are the differences? And do they all cook differently?
Ok, so that's several questions. But you're a big boy. You can handle it.
Hello fellow Texan, looks good man!
This vid was very informative, like it and good work T-ROY!
I don't have a WSM but noticed from many videos that WSM needs lot of charcoal.
You could use 1/3 of that on a Weber kettle.
With a rib rack you get needed space.
Any other reason to use WSM?
TohaToni Agree. I only use the WSM for the larger cuts of meat; turkeys, briskets or shoulders. I use the kettle for ribs and get better results using less coals. I could do what he did here in four hours. However, hanging ribs in a WSM produces killer results. If you have a WSM, pick up a hanger for it, or opt for a Pit Barrel smoker, can’t go wrong with either.
Very tasty looking ribs indeed!
However, I do not like rubs with salt in them. I rather salt the meat separately, easier to control the level of sodium to dry rub spice ratio.
I made them. Came out great. Looked just like yours. I am going to try your boil next. Thanks man I will drink a beer for you!
T-Roy definitely cooks. That looks awesome!
Question: When the bark is that black is it bitter? When I smoke the pulled pork and the bark becomes black it’s definitely not bitter - I just didn’t want to ruin a rack of ribs by letting them get too dark.
great video T-Roy! thanks so much, learned a lot, thanks for the tip about the smoke on a WSM, I was wondering about that and I only have an offset. Cheers
I need to know where you got that custom lid handle for your WSM. Need one ASAP!
Looks good. I will definitely be trying this method. Just got the smoky mountain!
You’ll love the WSM! Congratulations and keep that smoke rollin brother!!!
Cool basket & minionstarter indeed!
Always some good tips'n tricks to pirk up of yer videos Brother..
What annoys me is that you rarely can get really meatful ribs hete in Norway.. most of the time they are shiners..
Hope you are doing good Brother.
Cheers!
Hey T-Roy, that was an awesome cook. You stated that each cooker has its own smoke. WSM has the white smoke, offset thin blue. Can you tell us what other cookers are suppose to look like. Pellet, ceramic, weber kettle...etc
Looks delicious ! 😊😉 I love cooking babyback ribs.
Great job brother. Thank you for your service.
Great job T-Roy! I'll take 2 of the spare ribs my friend. Although the baby backs with that grill candy looks absolutely amazing. Man that bite through on the spares was spot on. 🤘
Ribs look great, my wife also likes them fall off the bone! Nice to see you break out the WSM since it’s what I cook on. Looks like you still use water in the water pan??
Hi T-Roy those are some mighty fine looking ribs.
