Interesting...I did almost the same thing today, babyback ribs in my new 32" KK. I wish I'd taken pictures....First of all, my routine in my old RJ Komodo was 2 hours at 225-250, spritz and wrap in foil for 1 hour, take out of foil and finish for 1 hour. Today, on the advice of one of the other KK Members, I omitted the foil part. I also started half of the ribs on the lower level and half on the main. In the future I will use the main and upper grill. The lower level works in a pinch, but the section that was directly over the heat source (even above the heat deflectors) was still cooking too hot, too fast. I have to get this dialed in....one or two racks were underdone at 4 hours, the 2 that started directly above the heat were getting overdone. The rest seemed to do relatively well- I am waiting for feedback from the neighbors who are my testers. The smoke taste was good, not overdone. I used a combination of pecan and apple. For a first cook, I could say this was close. I think it can be SO much better with some fine-tuning. At least this batch of sauce was a 14 on a scale of 10 (I will share the recipe with anyone who wishes). Next time, pictures and finer tuning.

I recently received a delivery of Cherry wood so it was time to pay up with 2 Racks of Korean ribs. They are my favorite with the fresh ginger, pineapple, soy, garlic, sesame oil, chive and more all combined into a marinade and a sauce later to boot. I also created some Sweet Bourbon Jerky that cooked up on the offset with a steel basket full of cherry and charcoal and coconut charcoal to finish. So far it's been the warmest day around here this year and well the gloves were off. But back on when it got hot. Some pics to see, _Large (2).mp4 _Large.mp4 _Large (3).mp4

I wish also. Doing Korean ribs as we speak but always looking to bring it up a notch.

Great please share.. My wife is asking for sauced ribs after eating some at a party.. Still have not found one she likes.

Something you should do CKreef, really. Split size is obviously a must regarding temp and is judgemental for the cool down. My splits were thin and I expect to use them for a cook tomorrow on the Lang for Sweet Bourbon Jerky. I have to defer to my Lang because real estate is the issue with approx 6lbs of meat 1/4" x 2" slices makes the coverage a wide area. So if you remember the white looking cherry on the KK in the beginning and the over nite result are quite amazing in color change. Moisture content is questionable but, as the green wood was presented, I think it's much better and approx half the weight. The road is clear do as you must and good luck,

Sliced the breakfast bacon this morning, packaged it and now it's in the freezer. Only one thing left, taste test tomorrow.:)
