Cooked up some beef short ribs yesterday while working from home.
Seasoned with salt, pepper and onion powder.
I used Weber charcoal and one charcoal basket. I dropped two lighter cubes in the basket, lit them then filled the basket up with Weber Briquettes. I have that about 20-25 minutes to let that get going with the lid off. I added some 200 degree water to the drip pan. Sous vide worked great for getting my water up to temp quickly. Filled a pitcher part way with hot tap water then dropped in my sous vide to do the rest. It might have taken 10 minutes to get that little amount of water from 120ish to 200. I'll definitely do that again.
Short ribs went on the grill and I added a few chunks of pecan and a few more Briquettes. He grill settled in at 220-225. Once I got the vents adjusted I didn't have to touch them the rest of the cook. The Weber charcoal burns very consistently.
Ribs cooked almost 5 hours. At 195 they were not probe tender yet. When I pulled them around 201 the probe slide in like a hot knife in butter.
I was still right at cook temp when I was done and probably had enough coals left for another hour. I'm really liking the Weber coals.
Ribs rested for a bit then got vacuumed sealed and then warmed up in my sous vide at dinner time for an appetizer while the main course was on the grill and I already had the sous vide going for two veggie sides. The ribs tasted like they came right off the grill after a 15 minute sous vide at 175.
What was left about 6 hours first lighting the charcoal.
