BBQing Ox Tail

edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
Hello Fellow Eggers :) [p]I was wondering if anyone may have some advice on BBQing Ox Tail as I recall a neighbor of mine whilst I was a young lad growing up making them and I loved them... but I tried a slow and low direct at 200 deg. and they were so bad I ended up feeding it to the dogs :) [p]Whats more.. most all my internet searches have come up with either a stew or soup recipe.... as I recall these childhood delights being more like a chewy round rib.. they had a pull.. no way fall of the bone.. but tender and very delicious. I am thinking of going with foil for a couple hours at 250. deg... maybe a little water in the foil for a good steaming ... and then finish with bbq sauce direct for maybe an additional 1/2 hour dwell just to slightly carmelize the sauce.. Anyway... anyone ever try this before ? Any Ideas ?[p]Thanks in advance.... BB

    BB,
    Have you condidered a FAST cook, steak style? Like 750 degrees for 3 min/side then a 5 min dwell? [p]I'd give that a whirl, and if that doesn't work, I'd do an indirect cook @250 with a drip pan full of cranberry juice.
    Oh yeah, and if you do low and slow again cover that bad boy with cheap yellow mustard.

    Good Luck!
