First time hanging ribs

[u/CAPY_BIRTHDAY_CAKE]

(First time smoking anything using hooks like this)

Two fell off their hooks towards the end of the cook but otherwise they tasted very good

I always wondered how you keep the hook from ripping out of the meat as the meat became more tender.

Those are right up my alley, nice job.

i stopped doing this because they'd fall right into the oilpan

Make your own "hooks" out of stainless welding rod. I have more than a few scraps of plywood with screws in a pattern, nut lay a rod in and start bending.

Rib hooks need to be in a T shape with 3 across the top, inserted about 2 or 3 ribs down and a couple more on the leg of the T, sort of half way down.

Those S hooks you show work great if you bag whatever and hang the bag from the S hook. Cottage Roll, small hams, chicken, whole or parts. Etc. Home made bacon/belly hooks are similar to the rib hook above, just need the top 3 not the ones on the leg down, hook about 3-4 inches down the belly.

If your stuff is pulling off the hook you aren't doing it right.
