The large egg arrived this afternoon and ...well....the ribs are on! I followed the simple ribs and the baked potatoe slices in the cook book/manual and its maintaining 300 degrees better than my stove does!
I added a few Hickory chips...so its a smokin' well....
...film at 11 !![p]MW[p]

    MW, you and Dan Quail = "potatoe" - just kidding - I think your spelling is great - next time you do ribs (cooking time 3+ hours) throw on a few sweet potatoes (wrapped in foil with a pad of butter) per Tim M - GREAT!!!!

    MW, watch em close! At 300 they can get to done and past real fast..If they be shrinking at the bone ends..give em a bone twist and ya might wrap em in foil at 2.5 hours and toss em in a ice chest wrapped in towels for about 45 minutes before eating (jj's method)...Good luck..

    MW,[p]If you like ribs on the BGE following the cookbook directions that came with the egg, you will love the rib recipes posted. You have to try low and slow ribs - they are less fatty than ribs at 300. My first meal was also ribs at 300. I haven't cooked them that way since that one time. Please, try the ribs as outlined in the recipe section!

    MW,
    Welcome to the Egg-dom! Your life is changed forever. You will be recanting stories to those less fortunate egg-less individuals, and suddenly realize they are looking at you like you have three eyes. But that's good. Remember when you first heard about it? I do baby back ribs at 150 degrees for 6 hours, but only after marinating them is Balsamic vinager and some Prudhommes seasoning all night. They turn out nearly greasless, tender, juicy, and I always get rave reviews. Also I usually allow my guests to drink heavily as I perform my egg magic and serve the food late. When they sober up think back on the experience, I'm included in their prayers at bedtime for the rest of their lives.

    King-O-Coals, Thats what I would call candle power ribs. I have yet to throttle Boss Egg down to that low a temperature. Whats the secret?

    Char-Woody, We usually get the coals going, then put on the baby backs (usually three slabs cut into 6 halves), close the bottom damper to about a toothpicks width and close the lid down to nearly closed. Some adjustments may be needed and usually the temp hangs between 150 and 200, but we are usually up, taking in fluids, and as excited as kids on Christmas Eve as the anticipation grows. I usually turn the ribs and rotate the grate every 2 hours to keep a check for hot spots. Refrain from looking except for that. I was shown this by a rookie egger. It's the most requested item by my friends.

    King-O-Coals, Never too late to learn a new wrinkle in ribs. I been getting there in 3 hours on the high side..so will try this one for the low and slow. Thanks for the tip, and top "Q" to you...
    Cheers..Char-Woody[p]

    Char-Woody,
    Can't wait to own one of these. My ribs are maninated for a week, smoked on a smoker for 6 hours and then put on the grill to galze the sause. You guys do it in one operation.
