How to hang ribs in the Weber Smokey Mountain without tools | WSM smoking meat

**Quick update- That Big Country BBQ rub was one of the best I've ever had! It totally took me by surprise. I don't make a dollar off this. I'm only providing this link (and this note) because I think this rub is really special. Check it out if you get a chance. http://bigcountrybarbecue.com/?page_i...

Today I discuss how to hang meat, specifically baby back ribs, in the Weber Smokey Mountain. There are lots of cookers on the market that offer hanging meat options like the Pit Barrel Cooker (PBC), the ProQ, the Smoke EZ, and almost every offset cooker with a vertical chamber. I'd always wondered what the fuss was about.

I had considered buying one of these other smokers but it felt redundant when I already had the WSM. When I went looking for ways to modify the WSM to accept meat hangers, I discovered that all the tools I needed were already available...right off the shelf. Not modifications to WSM were required at all!

I can't quite figure out why this is not more common knowledge but I guess that's good for me because it's a great topic for me to make a video about!

I hope you enjoy the video. Please let me know if you have any questions in the comments below.

*Disclosure: Black Diamond Charwood is not a sponsor, but they did send me some of their fantastic lump as a gift. I’m under no obligation to use/mention it, but I include it because I like it compared to most lumps I’ve tried and I think you’ll like it too. That said, I don’t think it would be cool to promote a product without disclosing it was a freebie…it’s possible I’m overthinking this but hey, I gotta fill this space up with something.
