10 hour beef ribs

in Beef
I thought they would take me anywhere from 5-7 hrs so I put them on Sunday morning at 11:30 at 250... Figured we would eat around 7 or so.. To my surprise they went till 9:30 until 195IT and probed like buttah... Had them tonight for dinner, reheated at 300 in foil with a splash of beer and bbq sauce... All in all pretty good.

    Man they look great.  You are more patient than I am...I would have wrapped them in foil and kicked up the heat and had dinner at 9-10 PM :). 

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    I wrapped when they hit 160 for an hour, still took forever.

    Wow, I have never seen that happen. I have cooked probably 40 racks of those! Were you running like 225?

    225-250.. I've done them a few times and they took 6-7 hrs at 250ish no foil... I have no clue what was up with this rack. It had a thick fat cap that I trimmed. When they hit 160 I put then in a pan with beer and bbq sauce and covered for an hour, also bumped temp  to 300.. That took them to 175, then I took them out and ran them to 190 and probe tender in the hopes to save the bark. It took like 3 hours to get from 155-175.

    That is surprising. FWIW, just yesterday I did two racks at 275 indirect, and it took almost exactly 4 hours to get them to 205. They were terrific.

    Thanks. I don't know about you & your family but, we prefer these over their pork cousins all day everyday. Leftovers cubed into whatever works too...we were up late Sunday watching the game so there weren't any leftovers this time. :wink: 
    Yours look delicious! They can definitely surprise ya as far as how long they can take to be totally happy and like buttuh.

    There is NO chance this would happen to me, possibly I have a problem.  Not being hungry wouldn't stop me from obsessing about those ribs until consumed.

    Those have become the fav around this egg.  Those sure look wonderful.  I too am really surprised about the timing on those.  I just did some last Sat. and they took just under 4 hrs. but they were split into two bones 250-275.

    I run 275 on pretty much everything these days. Shorter times and same quality.

    @Thatgrimguy   Do you do brisket at that temp as well?  I've been hesitant to go over about 240

    They look great and are one of my favorite cooks.  Have you calibrated your thermometer recently?  I cook mine at around 250 and have never had them take more than 5-6 hours.

    I haven't, but 90% of the time it's hotter than the thermometer temp.

    One look at the pic and the answer becomes crystal clear brother Phat as to why they took so long to cook. If you zoom in, it becomes even more clear.  Again great job all around my friend.
