In this podcast episode, we tackled the formidable task of smoking 18 racks of ribs, debunking the 3-2-1 rib method as pure myth. Our first decision centered around whether to apply a dry rub to some ribs and wrap others for a wet treatment. Chris ultimately opted for a split of 9 dry and 9 wet racks. Truth be told, smoking 18 racks employs the same technique as with 3 racks, but the key is an unwavering focus on a well-defined process for swift rib wrapping and repositioning on the heat. Chris even enlisted the help of technology, using an iOS app called “multitimer” and Siri reminders to eliminate any potential slip-ups in the process.
A significant change Chris implemented was the transition from disposable aluminum trays to durable commercial-grade trays designed for multiple uses, driven primarily by cost-saving considerations.
To kick off the episode, we delved into a review of the Old Country Cabinet-Style Gravity Feed Smoker. Both Chris and I concur that this smoker represents a remarkable upgrade without causing a dent in your budget.
