tried turbo BB ribs for the first time (thanks to Mickey?) so much easier! can't justify going back to low ans slow again!  

painted with mustard, followed by light sprinkle of Bad Byron's, paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, ground pepper. 350F XL indirect, 1.25 hr meat side up, 1.25 hour bone side up, passed bend test after 2nd flip, finish with 50/50 Blue Hogs original and Tennessee Red (courtesy of Weekend Warrior on the other forum).

don't mean to stir the pot, sometimes I feel BGE's ability to hold temp low for extended period is it's worst enemy because it prevented me from thinking outside the lo and slo box :(

    Everything looks great, where did you get that shrimp meatball recipe?

    it's my DW's, really simple, no measurements sorry ... ground pork, chopped chunky shrimp, salt, garlic powder, fresh cilantro, green onion, fish sauce, pepper.  sandwiched meatball with waxed paper and flattend in burger press, hardened in freezer for easier handling.

    With those ingredients really all I need to experiment is a guess on how much fish sauce to use per pound of meat.  Is the pork/shrimp ratio 50/50 or more pork then shrimp?

    definitely more pork than shrimp, and go real easy on the fish sauce!  you can cook and taste a tiny sample, then adjust as needed.

    I'm probably being stupid but who or what is your DW?

    @Caliking. Thanks but it's child's play compared to any one of your recent cooks, let alone a whole bunch of 'em :\">

    Wow- those ribs look perfect.  No foil at all...just 350 for 2.5 hours?  I might just have to give this a try sometime.

    The two burgers also look amazing.  Great pics all around! 


    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Question: Mickey's Turbo ribs call for 350 for 1 hr, 40 mins

    You are doing 1.25 hours on each side... or 2.5 hours total at 350

    How can his cook in 1 hour and 40  minutes and yours take 2 and a half hours? 

    What am I missing here?

    dunno, they're ready when they're ready... too many variables .... may be I didn't trust turbo (afraid of it burning?) and peeked too often ... remember when you're lookin you ain't cookin ... may be because Mickey is the true turbo guru ... whatever... sorry not sure if I really answered your question.

    I was going to ask the same question as I searched Mickey's turbo ribs after reading a new post today with the 1:40 + :15 min cook time.

    I get so confused with so many versions and cook styles. Welcome to the newb life !!!

    I just experiment with adjusting/modifying to the version that fits me and my egg !!!!

    Thanks folks,

    @dldawes1 is correct, the total cook time is about 2 hours @350.  Mickey sauces at 1:40, and lets it sit for another ~15.  I did turbo yesterday, and my egg settled at 330F, close enough to 350 that I didn't mess with it.  My St. Louis ribs took 2:20 to finish, passed the bend test.  I didn't look until 2 hours in (I didn't sauce since I had guests with gluten allergies.)  Once i tried to bend, I decided on another 20 minutes and then they bent just right.
