The plan is to flip every 30 minutes since this is a direct cook. That was part of the reason for the meat hooks.

Hahahaha I love it!!!!! Reading about your cooks is 1/2 culinary school, 2/3 down home country cooking, and 7/8 just dang fun. Incase you were wondering that adds up to 1 ball of awesome!!!
Enjoy that rib donut brother! -
FYI, they make a plate setter for the mini now if you are interested in having one for indirects.

Thanks my friend. Glad that you enjoy them. I'm really hoping that this works well. If it does I'm going to try it with a "parted" out pork shoulder. Again thanks brother Chilly.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

First flip and they are actually looking pretty good. Maybe this is going to work after all.

Thanks my friend. I'm really hoping that this works. The biggest concern that I have at this point is I'm getting a lot of smoke from the renderings . We shall see though. No turning back now!Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

That is so true my friend. There is nothing that I enjoy more than trying new ways to cook something. Well said and 100% correct brother!Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

45 minutes in and time for the third flip. The ribs are dark enough at this point so I dropped temp from 325 to 265 to try to prevent them from over darkening. So far it's working like a charm even though I'm cooking direct. The slight temp modification and I'm back on track.

Looking good brother! What are you cooking over (I'm guessing either OO or RW), and what smoke wood are ya working with (if any)?
-
Brother Chilly this is just Rockwood only. No wood. This is a base line test for the lump. Tomorrow I'm doing another rack on the mini with just Ozark Oak and no wood to establish a base line as well. I love both lumps but I'm trying to determine if one is truly superior to the other. This is a apples to apples test if you will. Hence no wood. Lump only. Thanks for the kind words my friend.

For anyone contemplating cooking ribs DIRECT on the mini 265 degrees seems to be ideal. Due to confined space + reflective heat from the ceramics 325 degrees proved to be to hot. The color on the ribs was set 50 minutes premature. Just thought I would share my findings.

Very cool! I can't wait to hear your impressions after you've finished both cooks. Just a wild guess after a few cooks... But I'm betting OO will SHINE on that type of cook!! =P~
Wish I could be there to taste test my friend! -
Just unhooked and unrolled the ribs for the bend test. Not quite ready so back on the mini. I'm leaving them unhooked for the remainder of the cook so it's easier to perform the bend test. They remained rolled and hooked up to this point though.

@ChillyWillis
I'm betting that on fish, foul and poultry that the RW wins by a nose. On beef and pork especially the very large unparted out primals that OO wins by a nose. Just a hunch that I have about confirmed. Now bear in mind that this is if one only uses lump and no added wood. I will post my conclusion and how I reached it when I have completed a few more cooks. But I think what I said above will prove true in the end. That is why I'm getting a half pallet of each. They both really shine on certain meats.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

That is Mrs. SGH's! You need to play with your own toys and let her have her fun!XL, JR, and more accessories than anyone would ever need near Olympia, WA

I agree wholeheartedly. I love OO with beef, my first cook was a tri tip roast and it was phenomenal. RW sings like an angel on chicken (and I prefer it for sausage cooks as well). I'm still trying to see what I enjoy more with pork....
To be honest my favorite part is just trying different cooks over these wonderful lumps. This forum has really opened my eyes!! -
@PNWFoodie
I agree. But the ribs are for her and at her request and she wanted them cooked on her egg. She is very tired tonight so she agreed to let me use her mini. Short of that I will not get to use hers much. The good news is that I have a mini of my own on the way!!Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

@SGH A mini of your own on the way? I request a OO vs RW rib donut mini cook off!!!!! 8-}

That is too, too funny! I hope you know I was just teasing you! Two mini's.....that's a whole lotta crow!XL, JR, and more accessories than anyone would ever need near Olympia, WA

@ChillyWillis
I'm going to do a very in depth write up on both lumps when I complete my tests. In the interest of fairness I'm running both lumps through my vertical, my large BGE and my mini. Both direct and indirect. But so far you and I have already came up with some of the very same conclusions. All that I'm lacking at this point is a rib cook tomorrow with OO and then a bread and cheese cook and smoke. But I already know for sure that I want both RW and OO on hand at all times for different cooks. They are both par excellent to say the least my friend.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

I know that you was just messing with me. But you got one thing absolutely correct. Two minis is a lot of crow! But honestly I love the little mini. Wish I would have bought one years ago. They are beyond awesome.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

I can't wait to read the write up my brother!!!! It'll make good study material :-B
All I'm sure if at this point is there will be a large stack of OO, RW in my basement for a long long time (and probably some WGWW as well) -
@ChillyWillis
You got it my friend. I will do them side by side just for you brother Chilly.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.
