Measuring Grate Temp...

EggerinMO

thoes of you who measure your grate temp do you all just lay the probe on the grate or wrap it in foil?[p]Thanks

<p />EggerinMO,
My favorite thing to do is stick the probe thru a corner of the meat, so it protrudes on one end. You want the tip to be several inches from the meat, and not over the direct fire. You do not want the probe to touch the grate as it will throw off your reading.[p]Cheers!

WooDoggies,[p]Does babybacks not have enough meat on them for competition?[p]CWM

WooDoggies

Car Wash Mike,[p]Teams turn in babybacks, loinbacks and spare ribs..... I guess it comes down to what you're comfortable with and what works.
For me, I'd pick spares everytime.... whether for competition or home eatin.[p]John
