After being inspired from all the post on here I decided to give it a shot. I was going to do a dry run but decided to buy some cheap beef ribs - $12 for this lot, I can`t complain, at least I would have something to sink my teeth into after all my effort.
I finely chopped some rosemary and thyme and add these some of the spices in the image, rubbed the ribs and left them overnight
Ladies lined up ready for action
My first snake
They turned out fine, maybe a little thin after 2hrs it was holding only 220f so I lit the other end which help temps climb to 275f - perfect.
after 2hrs at 220f and and 1.5hrs at 275f (3.5hours total) I foiled them adding red wine a touch of salt and chucked em back on for 1hour. Then removed the foil and back on again for only about 30min as I didn't want them to dry out. I brushed some sweet baby rays on the larger rack then foiled them and wrapped in a towel to rested for an hour.
They turned out unreal!!
Im happy with my first effort - It would not have been possible without the help and assistance ive found here - thanks Grillfellas
