Another turbo rib convert

OhioEgger

I had tried turbo ribs before, but didn't think it was as good as my old low & slow method. But I really wasn't all that careful about details, so I tried it again this weekend. Did a rack and was kind of annoyed about it because I was fiddling with the vents about every 10-15 minutes trying to keep the temp stable. Didn't like that part. When I pulled them off, they were kind of undercooked -- good but a little too chewy.

So I decided to give it one more try and really be careful this time. Used the FB200 to control the temperature this time. Turned out that around 315-320 at the grid (FB temp) was the equivalent of 350 in the dome. Much nicer doing it this way -- just checked it from time to time and it was good. I also gave them 2 full hours instead of the recommended 100 minutes, partly because of the underdone rack and partly because the first 10-15 minutes were only a little over 300.

Well, I have to say these were some of the best ribs I've ever cooked. Just wonderful and I'm a solid convert to the turbo method now. As a bonus, I used Bad Byron's Butt Rub on them for the first time and that's one of the best things I've ever put on ribs. Another regular feature for me from now on.

You're never too old to learn!

When I volunterred for a BGE Basics class at the Mothership, per the chef's instruction, we cooked at 350 for an hour, removed, sauced and foiled, returned for another 45, rest for 15-30 and boom. 

It's nice to know you can knock out a slab or two in a couple hours and be perfectly satisfied.

I'm definitely going to start pushing the ribs out quicker...baby steps for me though so next time I'll cook at 275 and see how they turn out.
