Beef back ribs and not so basement BBQ beans

[Travis]

Cooked on the 77' faded black today using the TTT so I could do some yard work and run errands.

Beef ribs seasoned with midnight expresso and a little chipotle chili. Ran the cooker at 280ish for a couple hours until I got the color and texture, then wrapped in butcher paper.
Bush's homestyle beans and I cut up and added a red pepper, onion, a couple strips of bacon, some sweet baby rays and some of the dripping from the ribs. Beans were placed over direct heat, uncovered, and temp dialed down to around 230 or once I got to a slight simmer, stirring once in a while. 2 more hours and they were all done.

I like using the TTT for unsupervised cooks. It really dials in and maintains the cooker if you can't be there.
Have a good one fella's!

That all looks fantastic. I missed an old black mbh in my area this week. Wasn't quick enough.  Were the ribs tender?  I did them once and the flavor was great but they were a little tough. I didn't wrap though and will next time. What was the total cook time?

Thx man. That mbh is my daily cooker. Low n slow cooks on 3 wheelers were made for each other. The ribs were very tender. I wrap everything in paper. I just like how it keeps it moist. Just a personal preference, but I like the results. The cook went 6 hours total. About 3 1/2 hours at 280 and another 2-3 around 230.

That is a great cook Travis. Hard to beat a plate of beef ribs and beans. You cooked the beans two hours? You probably could have used dried beans if you are simmering them for that long.

Your MBH looks like an awesome old cooker.

2 hours isn't near enough for dried beans imo. I have to boil them for an hour and simmer all day long before they are tender. 2-3 hours and low heat are perfect for canned beans when you are making a decent size batch.
