I do the cap on top and score it with a knife so it's all purty with that
diamond pattern.

Depends. Where is the heat coming from in your cooker?

I have to ask....what does that change? I think gravity would play the
largest role. You have me thinking now.

Put the fat between the heat and the meat. Garavity is only part of it,
liquid runs from heat. Next time you grill a steak, look at the top, see the
juices? Ever pan-fried a steak, chicken?

Look, not to brag, but I just cooked three slabs in the LazyQ for 6 hours
(top right quadrant - the hottest shelf I'm guessing). Checked the ribs
thrice for the **** of it it ( bone up ) and monkeyed with the fire about 5
times. It gets easier the more you know/do. Those that et 'em proclaimed
'em... Oh yea, used mesquite too <G>
