Smoked some pork ribs this weekend. Started with an overnight brine, smoked for 2 hours and finished in the oven. Delicious!

If they are already in the smoker why put them in the oven?

They have the smoky flavor about as much as they will absorb at that point. Next step is tightly covered anyway and the oven doesn't require wood or babysitting.

I guess that depends on your smoker. Once I get my BGE to temp I can walk away for 24 hours if I want. I also think the bark is far better leaving ribs in the smoker.

Love, the BGE!

To each their own, especially when the options are so many. Personally, I find the bge to be an overpriced, gimmicky, offset wannabe.

All that can be true but I can still walk away for 24 hours and have it keep the same temp without refueling. I don't know of an offset that can say the same. Do you?

I'd never even compare the two. I do full wood-burn smoking which, while more tedious, delivers a superior smoke IMHO. Are a lot of BBQ joints you've been to using bge's?

Overpriced I'll give you maybe. But gimmicky, absolutely not. I've tried Traeger, Brinkman, Cookshack, Pit Boss, Masterbuilt, and still own a regular pig cooker on wheels, along with the Cookshack. My XL BGE beats them all hands down! Especially, when it comes to versatility.
How long did you own and use a BGE before you came to that conclusion?
