Questions & Answers

Is there a risk that the ribs will become too tender and fall off the hooks? Also, in 18 wsm, do the bottom ribs burn closest to the fire?

I've never cooked ribs before, but they shouldn't fall off the hook if you keep an eye on them as they near completion. br>Instead of relying on the built-in gauge, invest in a wireless temperature probe to keep a close eye on the temperature of the smoker! Once it reaches a stable temperature, the smoker maintains a fairly uniform temperature, so the ribs closest to the coals should not burn! Even though a sausage was touching the drip tray, it did not burn!

What is the 18.'s true outer diameter? 5" rqck?

If you have the 22" WSM, however, it fits perfectly on top of the barrel.

Which hanger size should I use? 5" or 22. With the top lid closed, does 5" fit WSM?

The hanger rack for the 18 must be ordered separately. 5 as well as a hanger rack that will fit the 22. 5 WSM They're different sizes, but they'll both close with the top lid down. They'll fit on the tabs where your grate is.

Is it more important to have the rib as close to the center as possible if you only do 1 or 2 ribs?

I'd use the center section if I were smoking a few racks of ribs.

Selected User Reviews For Stainless Steel Rib Hanger for WSM

There are two major flaws in this book
3/5

This is the hanger I've been using for my 18-year-old. I've had a 5" WSM for about 6 months now, so it's not something I'm unfamiliar with. One, the three spoke hanger is not attached to the base, and I have knocked it loose while loading and unloading my ribs, resulting in it falling into the fire. Fix? I tied it together with wire to keep it from moving or falling (which worked). Second, there is an issue with consistency. The entire hanger can tip if your hanging ribs accidentally shift off center, and your ribs will end up in the bottom of the smoker, according to Not Good Eats. This has happened to me multiple times, which is why I'm writing this review. Last night, as I was removing a beautiful rack of beef back ribs from the grill, it fell into the charcoal. I regret to inform you that I do not recommend purchasing this item.

Fits perfectly, is sturdy, and has a lot of hanging potential! Fits nicely in the 18" WSM, with plenty of room to hang just about anything, a removable center piece that can be used to hang even more, sturdy, solid welds, and excellent packaging
5/5

Ribs are a type of meat that is cut into The chicken turned out to be absolutely delicious! br>I'm about to place an order for one for my 22" WSM.

The addition is fantastic! Please read on for some helpful hints
5/5

I was attempting to "convert" my WSM to a barrel smoker because I'd read that this is a superior method for ribs (and other things) and I believe it to be so. This rack makes it possible by allowing more racks to cook than the two standard flat grills would allow. If you do some research on barrel cooking, you'll discover that, contrary to popular belief, the ribs cook evenly. Tips: br>br> br>Avoid using the water pan if at all possible. Smoke directly over the hot coals, adjusting the vents to keep the temperature around 250 to 275 degrees until the ribs reach around 200 degrees internal temperature, spraying with apple juice every 30 minutes, then do your foil wrap treatment (hopefully) on the standard flat grills. br>br>Purchase a meat hook removal tool or something sturdy with a small loop on the end to catch the meat hooks. Visit the Pit Barrel Cooker website for more information. br>br>Use two heat-resistant containers. gloves that are resistant to damage While hanging and removing each meat hook, use one hand to keep the cross piece in place. br>br>As usual, cook the ribs to a temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Internal temperature is 210°F.

It was a perfect match
5/5

I was looking for a way to begin smoking ribs by hanging them up. This appeared to be a good match and was reasonably priced. br>br>Fits perfectly in my Smokey Mountain 22" Weber. In addition, the lid does not obstruct the process in any way. Ribs have plenty of room! br>br>I only did three at first, but it cooks them much faster than laying them out. br>br>Make sure you hook the ribs between bones that won't slide out!br>br>Of course, removing the water bowl made keeping the temperature down a bit of a challenge, but the ribs turned out fine. br>br>Make sure you hook the ribs between bones that won't slide out!.

This was money well spent
5/5

This is a very nice rib hanger. Because there is so much space, I usually have to split my cooks into two sessions and use a different type of rib hanger. I can now cook all of the meat in a single pot. It helps you save time and money by reducing the amount of time and gas you use. It has a high-quality metal appearance and feel to it. Welds are also very clean and complete. This was money well spent. I haven't had any complaints after a few cooks. This is the rib hanger that I use most often.

On the WSM, we finally have a great sausage hanger
4/5

Since I got my WSM 18, I've been on the lookout for something similar. 5". The majority of WSM hanger frames are designed to hold a few large items, such as ribs, and have a limited number of hanging locations. This severely restricts their ability to handle small items such as sausages. This design is ideal because the inner circle is far enough inside to allow you to hang sausage without it hitting the sides of the smoker, and you can then add more on the center tri-ring. rack. br>br>I've discovered that it's best to avoid using hooks altogether because they lower the links too far and limit what you can hang before hitting the bottom grate or water pan. Instead, I simply drape link chains over the bars between links and they hang down fine, and for long chains, I simply "daisy chain" between hanging points around the outside. I smoked 6 pounds yesterday and could easily have gotten more in there. br>br>The only drawback is that it is a little pricey when compared to other hanger options, but it is extremely well made and designed, so I am delighted to have it.

This is an absolute must-have as well as a game-changer
5/5

changer. I couldn't have smoked six racks of ribs on my Weber Smokey Mountain 18" without this rib hanger. Now, I'm predicting that I'll be able to complete 14-hours of work. This thing can handle 15 racks at once. I effectively doubled or even tripled my smoking capacity by purchasing this product. br>br>Another advantage is that it effectively duplicates the cooking mechanism of an unsightly drum smoker. The meat juices drip onto the coals, giving the food a unique flavor and aroma. This is fantastic. br>br>This can be used for a variety of meats. Smoking chicken was also something I used to do. It was cooked to perfection and in a short amount of time. It was extremely juicy and had a great flavor. as well as the white meat Hanging the meat while it's cooking has a unique flavor. br>br>I strongly advise ordering more of the hanging hooks from the Hunsaker company's website. It comes with six, so I ordered an additional twelve for a total of eighteen.
