Can anybody testify to Turbo Ribs?

My daughter just called and wanted to come for supper and wants baby back ribs.   

Only way I see possible is to go straight out @Mickey style.  What says you?

Turbo ribs are fine for me using spares, just watch your BB for doneness temperature not time.

My opinion, good, not great.  More fat left behind, but that's my preference, render most fat out.  Would I do them again or in a pinch, yes.  Don't think my family would notice much difference.

Love turbo ribs. Just make sure you have good heat protection from below. Drip pan spaced off your platesetter. The platesetter can give off a lot of radiant heat at that temp.

Probably too late now, but here's how to do BBs in 80 minutes. The thread used to have pics, but I guess Randy did some house cleaning. Anyway, he describes it well. Boil in a bag, then egg...

 I am going to try turbo bb ribs tomorrow to try to better match cooking times with chicken leg quarters. I do not care for "fall off the bone" ribs anyway, so I hope these make me/my family happy. I simply can not get them started early enough for low and slow this time.

I did turbo baby backs a few weeks ago. They took an hour and 45 minutes at 325-350

I tried turbo ribs and turbo pork butt ... didn't like either.  I'm a low and slow man.

This guy seems to have a pretty good read on them:

When I did turbo ribs they were some of my best. Turbo butt, couldnt tell a difference between turbo and low and slow.

Doing 4 today. They are not fall off the bone (not a fan of fall off the bone). It's the only way I will cook them.

I did them few weeks ago and yes, not fall off the bone but besides that no difference than my usual 3-4hr smoke.  Loved them.  (I usually follow Smoke it Like a Pro recipe for my Baby Backs https://www.amazon.com/Smoke-Green-Ceramic-Cookers-Team/dp/162414098X )

Go Turbo or go home

I had bad results turbo with baby backs. Spares work well for me. If I have time I still like good ole low n slow

Mickey's turbo ribs is my go-to method for STL cut ribs (I'm not into baby backs). They cook through nicely and it's not an all day affair. I even turbo them in my Assassin smoker. 

I don't like "fall off the bone" ribs. To me, they're overdone. I look for a clean bite that's tender, and turbo delivers it.

 Well, I tried turbo babybacks yesterday. Two racks on main grid and chicken leg quartesr on the top swing rack. Aimed for 350*. Temps rising caught my attention and I found the drip pan(elevated with thick washers above PS) had caught fire! It had the rib/chicken drippings in it as well as from a pound of bacon I cooked off for the beans. I used a water bottle from my Blackstone to douse the flames and had to pull all proteins off to remove drip pan. Then used more water to put some lump out and regain control of the fire. Chicken being raised was fine. Ribs were charred on the bone side. One badly the other not as much. May try again but if I have the time I will stick with the low/slow traditional method.
