Doing ribs tomorrow and following the recipe from the Myron Mixon book.  I made up the rub and the spritz and they are in the marinade now.  He says to put them in a foil pan and put that into the smoker, I've never done them that way and just wondering if you still get as much smoke flavor? 
 
I smoke a lot of stuff in pans
Never did ribs that way.
And yes they will get smoke .
I think ribs would be better just on the grates
or in a rib rack. I do think they would get more smoke
out of a pan .
 
I have to agree with jrod62 on this one.  If your ribs are on a grate or in a rib rack, I think they'd get more smoke too.  I've done a lot of ribs and have never put them in an aluminum pan... I'm wondering if the pan idea is like a modified version of the 3-2-1 or 2-2-1....just my VH $0.02.....

Marinade with Mojo Crillio. Spoon some over the ribs and rotate them on occasion.

they got plenty of smoke. Too add, these ribs got around 4 1/2 hours of smoke.

Those ribs look great Flash. Are they spares cut apart? 

Personally I haven't tried ribs in a pan, I always put them on the rack 3-2-1 for spares and 2-2-1 for babys.


 Those are actually Beef Ribs, Shorts and Backed. Too cut down on the mushiesness raptor, you could always remove them from the pan for the last 1/2 hour and place them on the grate. I do that sometimes. Have not tried it with spares, but suppose you could. I would try leaving maybe two bones together. Not really sure why.
