Last minute decision to smoke some beef short ribs and some pork butt. It will be a late night.

Do you find a rack beneficial for ribs? Will you be hanging them or laying them on their side (like a napkin holder style rack)? I always have just laid mine down on the grate.No pics, but I FINALLY tried my Traeger 885 that I got for Christmas of '23... I know, I know... Anyway sacrificed a pork butt and it came out decent. Would grade it as a B to B+. Gonna try some pork ribs after my rib rack arrives from Amazon on Friday...
Decided that I am too damn old to tend a stick burner for 12 hours like I used to...
Will be next week till I do the ribs. Rack isn't due till Friday from Amazon. They will be kinda standing up.Do you find a rack beneficial for ribs? Will you be hanging them or laying them on their side (like a napkin holder style rack)? I always have just laid mine down on the grate.
Please take pics and report back pleaseWill be next week till I do the ribs. Rack isn't due till Friday from Amazon. They will be kinda standing up.
I think the key to using the racks is that you can put several racks of ribs on at once. Ribs take up a lot of real estate on a grill or smoker.Will be next week till I do the ribs. Rack isn't due till Friday from Amazon. They will be kinda standing up.

True. Anything more than 2 racks on my smoker and I need to cut them in half. So maybe I will get a stand for mineI think the key to using the racks is that you can put several racks of ribs on at once. Ribs take up a lot of real estate on a grill or smoker.
