Nothing special today.
Just some trimmed spares.
Going to run indirect raised on a inverted V rack at 400 degrees until done. Simple and fast.

    How long at 400 do you think it will take?

    Let me just say this my friend. I forgot about them while I was bush hogging. That being said I can say with 100% certainty that 3 hours at 400 degrees is far to much. Nothing but ash and bone. It usually takes about 80 minutes at 400 degrees though on very large slabs.

    Oh, snap!  I hate it when I do stuff like that!  Hate that happened. sorry about that :(!  I bought some good fillet mignons one year to take to my brother's house.  We got to partying and cutting up and wound up with $50.00 hockey pucks.  We still chuckle over that.

    80 minutes at 400--that sounds good!

    Thats one of my tricks right there. I can baby a rack of ribs for hours and hours, then get cute and sauce them or something and crank the heat to set the glaze, then have another beer, forget about the heat adjustment, and burn the crap outa the most beautiful meat ever. AND, I've done that crap on several occasions.

    That was some pretty good uniform pull back.  They look very close to being done.  How much longer were you planning on leaving them on?  I don't cook turbo ribs, but at 400, I'd guess they'd take around 2 hours or less.
    Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

    They were still about 25 minutes out. They were very tight and hadn't rendered down. The pull back comes much faster when running the real high temps on spares.

    Yeah right. If you did go completely bonkers and do it, I'd be first in line to buy it though. I need one with a little more ass in it. Mines just a 25 horse. I need to get another one though.

    I wouldn't really sell it. I'm pretty attached to that one. I just need to stay off of it when cooking!!!!
