Title: So easy a cave man can do it
Post by: Aawa on August 17, 2013, 04:01:29 PM
Title says it all.

Set the kettle up with an 2-2-1 ring of fire going across half the kettle w/ red oak chunks.  Went inside and pulled out some Dino Bones and rubbed them with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic

Temps came up to 300 on the kettle and threw the bones on.  Went nekkid the entire cook.

I don't know how long they were on because I took an untimed nap.  But these are fresh off the kettle right before i wrapped them to rest.  Pulled them off the smoker when probe tender.

Kept it simple and so easy a cave man can do it.

I'm sure you won't mind cooking beef ribs again! :p

And yeah each time I opened the lid I did the Tim Alan inquisitive caveman grunt.  My roommate got a kick out of it.

They were very meaty.  I needed to trim one of the ribs up a little bit more as the fat didn't render out completely on it.  But it was still damn tasty!

They are beef short ribs.  I asked the guy at the meat counter at the grocery store if they had any whole racks of short ribs before they cut them up.  He came back with a cryovac pack which had 2 racks (4 bones each).  He asked if i wanted 1 or 2, I told him to just give me the cryopac and he slapped the price on it.

Can you explain the 2-2-1 ring of fire. Thanks

I like to smoke hot and fast.  So instead of just doing the 2 coal with 1 coal ring, I do a layer of 2 coals, then another layer of 2 coals on top of that, then a layer of 1 coal.  It allows me to cook at 300+ with my vents wide open

Danny, this link shows a setup for 2+1 + some chips of lump.......

http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/food-pr0n/bob's-beef-o-rama/msg20382/#msg20382

........it will burn at a lower heat than Aawa's as there's less fuel available as the burn moves around the ring.....
Doing 2+2+1 is the perfect way to ramp up the heat another 35~60 degrees, with minimal fiddling with the vents.....just right for the hot & fast area..........

Great RIBS, If I forgot to say so !!!!!

That's what I'll do also.....before they cut them into tiny 4~5" long single pieces, with no fat on the outside......
Sometimes it's called 'short plate' & if you're lucky or have a friendly butcher, they may even drop the per pound, as it is less work.....
