Rick's Tropical Delight,
they would be if i wasn't using my guru, but i'm doing the guru thing today . .. so daisy wheel is completely closed, guru 10cfm fan is set at about 1/2 and i've got the grid temp on the guru set at 215. ..i have enough gaps in my old gaskets to allow for sufficient airflow when the fan pulses. . . dome temp is right around 240. ...i'm golden :-)[p]btw ...did you do those low-direct for the whole cook? ...how long? how often did you turn em?. .. they look great. . .
-
mad max beyond eggdome,
I've done ribs direct ala JJ's methods quite a few times. I flipped them ever 45-60 minutes. Turns out great. The key is keeping a low temp which if you have a low temp your not getting flames or really hot spots which burn the meat. I'm hopping Santa brings me a guru. I finally asked for one.
-
mad max beyond eggdome,
oh yeah... guru. where should i buy a guru??[p]heheh, that was the end of a 3/1/1.5. started in a v-rack, then the foil with orange/pineapple juice mixture, then indirect on the grid for a bit, then direct for just the end for some more color. i guess that's considered playing with my food.

dhuffjr,
On raised grid?
-
mad max beyond eggdome,
Let us know how it goes...I usually use a grid temp of 230° will be curious to see how your 215° comes out. I would expect 6 hours, maybe a tad more at your temp....Lookin good BTW...[p]Wess
-
egret,
No just on the standard grid. I do them indirect most of the time now.[p]Once upon a time there was no Guru or platsetters either. People started using firebricks for indirect. Someone discovered the platesetter and a ceramic store down the road I think from the old BGE HQ shipped out quite a few I'd suspect. The new BGE made platesetter is a bit bigger and much more robust.

WessB,
thanks wess. . ..i figure at the four hour mark (12:30), i'm gonna crank the guru up to about 230. ..oughta raise the dome temp to around 275. . .stay tuned for more pics. . .

Rick's Tropical Delight,
Only place I know of is from the Guru guys.....they are the gurus of Guru.[p]

Geeez Max - 2 1/2 hours already? I just woke up! (well I woke up about an hour ago, but I didn't want to get out of bed.)
My ribs are still in the fridge..... I'll be posting my progress report about the time you are eating dinner!

Rick's Tropical Delight,
I bought mine from Dalton Grill and Smoke in Dalton, GA. Very good price. It looks like they have gone over to offering the Stoker, but that price looks good, too.

dhuffjr,
i just tried to get the guru competitor, 10 cfm, medium egg adapter but it wouldn't take my credit card. it said the street and zip didn't match, so i reckon i'll have to move!
-
dhuffjr,
Imagine you'd have to be movin' 'em around quite a bit if you cooked them at the reguar grid level......
