Vertical smokers, also known as drum smokers or barrel smokers, are about the old school as you get (before digging a pit and lay the leaves on our meat.)

How long do the ribs take a vertical smoker?
The key is the meat that is soft but still has a good bite. For me, this plot is usually obtained in about 2.5 hours. However, time will depend on your smoker. You will know that the ribs are made when the meat is withdrawing from the bone without much resistance.
Suggestions
- Use good quality wood blocks. Wood is what produces the smoke ring and gives meat that delicious smoked flavor. Use good things!
- Don’t hang too low. Make sure the ribs are not too long for your smoker. If they are touching the heat source, the meat can burn. If they are too long, you can cut the rack in half or use two hooks and form a U -shaped shape with the ribs.
- Leave the lid closed. Once the ribs smoke, open the lid as little as possible. Whenever you open it, the smoke runs away and the temperature floats. This can influence the flavor and consistency!
- Grill after smoking. This passage is optional but gives the ribs outside a delicious caramelized flavor and a crunchy consistency.
Serve suggestions
Serve these vertical smoked ribs with one of your favorite sides! I love my brussels sprouts smoked for glazed for roasted barbecues, Croucified potatoes of cheesesmoked potato salad, or Mac and cheese!
How to store
The remaining smoked ribs will last in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a maximum of 4 days or in the freezer for a maximum of 3 months. To heat, defrost in the refrigerator if frozen, then heat in the oven to 250ºF until he warmed up.
