DynaGreaseball mb,

Hey...I buy those disposable trays. the V rack legs just fit inside and kinda hold it down.


Al B mb168,
If you go to the Recipe section on this forum, you will find \"Pork Spareribs alla JJ\" which are a
direct cook method. I've done them twice now, while waiting for my plate setter to come in.
Both times edible, but not wonderful. The ends dry out, but the middle ribs are fine. Make sure
you get/ keep the temp low- 220 or so, or they dry out. Can't wait for the plate setter.
Good luck with your new toy.

mb DynaGreaseball,

How are you placing the drip pan firm and are you using disposable ones or actual drip pans?
DynaGreaseball mb168,

Use a drip pan. Whether you put water in it or not, it'll protect your coals from all the goo
dripping on it. Even when you get your plate setter, you'll want to use a drip pan.
mb168 Big'un,

Sorry, they are baby backs. Yes I've read so much on this site, BGE's site, Naked Whiz, etc,
that it's all running together now. I read Mike's version where he uses the plate setter but
just wondered if I NEEDED one or something like a drip pan, for my first ribs, or if I can cook
without anything today unitl I get one. The video on BGE's site doesn't look like or mention
using anything when he cooks ribs yet he specifically points out that he's using one in other
videos. Will the drippings cause a huge mess in the bottom? They will be cooked flat on the rack,
not vertical.

Forgot to mention that lack of platesetter may speed your cook some. Maybe someone without a
platesetter will weigh in on this. However, if dome is only 250, hopefully the pan would be enough
of a barrier.
