For Mickey. Turbo Test BB Ribs at 425 degrees.

SGH

Going to cook some BB on their side at 425 degrees just to see. I'm turning them on their side in hopes of reducing the reflective heat to the meat side. Going to go with the exposed bone end up. Simple set up. Plate setter, grid and inverted V rack. Plan on spritzing with plain water to help control the color once it sets. Hope it works. @DMW any pointers would be welcome my friend.

SGH

Get the egg dialed in where I want it.

SGH

For this high temp test I'm not going to pull the membrane. Hoping that it acts as a shield. We will see.

SGH

Ribs have been salted and rubbed with a hefty dose of cayenne. Waiting on the egg to settle and lock in.

SGH

The egg starting to settle in and omit a faint light blue smoke. She is getting close to ready.

DMW

@SGH No tips from me, haven't really done that much turbo. Really curious how it will turn out.

SGH

@DMW‌
Would you go exposed bone end up or down? I haven't done this either. Just taking educated guesses at it as I go. I thinking up but I could be backwards.

SGH

Ribs going on the egg.

SGH

28 minutes in and looking pretty good. Hit with a very light spritz of water.

Refreshing this thread constantly....

They may turn out a disaster. This is the inaugural run at it.

SGH

Up next when the ribs are done. I hate this crap but my wife loves it. It should be a pan of meat instead.

Looking great so far my friend.... How long will you turb o at that temp before you foil them?

SGH

@anzyegg‌
No foil.

SGH

@anzyegg‌
Cooked exactly 1 hour and 15 minutes at 425-450 with no foil. They turned out looking pretty good. Thanks for the kind words my friend. I did have to spritz to maintain the color. I feel they would have darkened to much without the spritz. I tried to stay closer to 425 for the duration but it did creep up a few times.

One of the selling points to my wife who bought my egg for me for Father's Day was how easy it would be to do grilled veggies and healthy vegetable dishes..."it's not just for big slabs of meat honey..." Dunno whether she actually bought it or not, but I did get my new Egg

SkinnyV

I feel like there is going.to be some chew to those ribs. I've done turbo and the meat taste similar but man were the chewy off the bone.

Let us know.

I've been lurking long enough to have serious doubts you would actually produce a disaster...but this is one of the things I really like and truly appreciate about this board and this community...so much information and even real-time experimentation shared freely. This is my favorite hangout. Those look great...can't wait for the update

Try shaking them in a bag with a bit of EVOO, balsamic glaze and garlic. When I do them like this I will cook @ 425 indirect on the grid till tender. Usually about 40 mins. The balsamic adds a whole new flavor

anzyegg

They look great to me and I'm sure they'll be wonderful as always.

SGH

@ponder‌
Thanks for those kind words my friend. And honestly I do bomb from time to time.

SGH

Ribs are just a shade darker than I would like but still look nice. Next time I will start my spritz a little sooner out the gate. This is the ribs as is. No glaze no finishing sauce no nothing. Just salt, pepper and smoke.

SGH

@anzyegg‌
Just got to taste one. They are par excellent my friend. And as always I thank you for the kind words.

SGH

@Mickey‌
If you are reading this sir let me say that cooking ribs at 425 degrees gets the SGH seal of approval sir. Give it a try some time my friend. It is excellent.

minniemoh

Looks good! How do they taste?

SGH

@Mattman3969‌
Just saw your suggestion. Will have to try it next time. Already getting devoured. Thanks for the input my friend.

SGH

@minniemoh‌
Taste no different. They are excellent.

SGH

@SkinnyV‌
No chew to them at all. The taste and texture are outstanding to say the least my friend.

SGH

@ponder‌
Thank you sir for all the kind words. Just to clarify the ribs are near perfect. It worked like a charm.

DMW

Looks great!

SGH

@DMW‌
Thank you brother. They turned out excellent. In hind sight the only thing that I would do different is I would start the spritz a little sooner. Short of that I'm well pleased. Again thank you my friend.
