I use a mixture of apple juice and grape juice. I use about 2 oz of each for baby backs and 3 oz of each for spare ribs. I have a video of Chris Lilly preparing ribs and that is how he teaches it, so that's how I've been doing it for 8 years now.
Sand in the water pan versus water makes a pretty big difference in the way upright cookers cook.
The sand is much less messy. Water makes a mess with dripping grease. I let aluminum foil catch the drippings and hardly ever have to change out the sand. Also, the sand heats up faster.
The Backwoods Party in the picture has never had water in the water pan. I've won enough money in bbq contests using sand to pay for the smoker many times over.
What was that Apple and cherry vinegar ?
