First cook on a Gourmet -Beef ribs
« on: April 19, 2020, 04:01:45 AM »
My first cook on a Gourmet, beef short ribs, baked potatoes and corn on the cob.  Nothing too intricate as we were working in the yard all day and I wanted to make something semi-autonomous.  I had planned on using the CNT ring, but my taters were too fat and cobs of corn too long.  I’m guessing produce in the 70’s weren’t ginormous like today’s!

I used an internal ash pan and a Slow n’ Sear to protect the bowl vents and porcelain, and in return the Gourmet ran like a champ right around 260F with two bowl vents completely closed, and the remaining bowl vent and lid vent half open.  Other accessories included a BGE drip pan to aid cleanup and use-‘em-or-lose-‘em Craycorts.  Fuel consisted of KJ XL Big Block lump and post oak. 

Very big thank you to WeberNV for the trade.  I’m aware this yellow previously belonged to Cellar2ful and Argentflame, so if any of you three grillfellas have any stories to share, I welcome them here.  Thanks for looking!

Very cool first time cook! I'm going to have to look harder for beef ribs!
Wife: Let me guess... you want to grill again

Very nice, I’ve never done beef ribs but picked some up today. What type of seasoning did you use? What temp did you pull them at?

Awesome cook. In the mountains no less. Any difference from sea level Charlie?

I dry brined overnight with kosher salt and seasoned with black pepper right before putting on.  I probed for doneness after 6 hours and they were done at about 200F.

Not that I’ve noticed, but I’ll pay more attention going forward.

Looks fantastic, and the food does too. Beef ribs are a family favorite. Glad you are putting the kettle to good use!
