When smoking your ribs... which is the correct way to place them on the shelf? Meat up or down?
Have read both methods and also flipping during the cycle.

You know, there's really no right or wrong, and there are so many theories.
You didn't say what smoker you had (I can't remember everyones)
Some like curve up down to catch the fat as it renders.
Others like it curve down to get an even smoke on the top.
Others like to start curve up then flip.
I'm sure that doesn't help a bit, thats why I asked which smoker

Or...you could hang them from the rib hooks or stand them in rib racks and it won't matter which way the curve is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or just throw them in have a beer or seven take them out when done and enjoy ive never been able to tell the diff.
I have an amerique. Guess I'll experiment and see for myself. Thanks for the info!
If you use rib racks, make sure the curve is facing to the left. Unless it's a left handed pig, then face the ribs the other way.
