    Just washed, no peel or any processing. Instapot steam setting 15 min. not mushy but next batch will be 12 min for firmer texture. Freeze well. Pre freeze if you're using Foodsaver.

    Just finished installing my new back up lights wound up having to fabricate some brackets to work with the yota (without drilling holes in the bumper). The old ones had flooded, and were the cheap amazon variety for 20 bucks....these cost alot more and have a better reputation.....we shall see

    A dealer is clearing sh*tload of WSM 18" hanging racks for peanuts, picked one on impulse. Already made three legs for raising cooking grids, cut another one and got myself a PBC clone  :)  It's almost 6" above gasket and no dome interference. 

    Nice!

    I've had one for my WSM 18" which I have used to hang ribs in for years.

    Weber quit making those many years ago - did the dealer just happen to find a bunch stuck somewhere in the back of his store??

    @HeavyG Probably, perhaps I should load up and sell on Ebay, only 11.25 loonies each! I had a PBC but unloaded it as things were getting out of control (still is) here  :)

    Jumping in the Black Garlic Game...21 days


    I first made black garlic last year using an old crockpot. Didn't go well cuz I let them dry too long and they were rock hard and bitter.

    The next time they were ok but I guess I didn't let them dry enough and they were still so sticky they were impossible to peel. The few that I did peel were ok tastewise.

     I then bought one of those $40 black garlic making gizmos which seems to make the process easy but still had some heads that were too hard and some too soft but most heads seemed ok.

    After using a few heads I just wasn't tasting/feeling the "wow" that I was reading about and expecting. Not sure if I'll make any more.

    Hope it goes better for you and your tastebuds!

    P.S. - You'll want to do this in your garage our outbuilding cuz the smell is rather strong.

    I never used the water pan in my WSM. They would hang directly over the coals. I used Harry Soo's donut hole method to light the coals.

    A couple of times the lowermost rib on a longer rack would be too close to the fire and get a bit charred but no biggie.

    I haven't cooked any ribs in the WSM since I got my KBQ so it has been feeling neglected for a few years now.

    I've been monitoring the humidity ( this cooker is tight no real water loss in a week )  which may be key, I was gifted this overly expensive rice cooker Simone bought and didnt need ( who can't cook rice in a pot ) this is tightly sealed keeping the RH up 80+%  dies run warm but 140 on the low upper 150s on the high for black garlic ....my goal is to keep the RH up and temp on the warm side ...removed all today and inspected ....thanks @HeavyG hoping the cost benefit ratio is good, otherwise I will stick with roasted garlic

    @HeavyG Thanks for sharing. Just educated myself on Soo's donut method at amazingribs.com . My understanding is lighting the egg with one spot in the middle is kind of similar. When I hang ribs I'll probably go with half racks to minimise bottom char.
