    @SGH I can enjoy looking but I'm probably a lost cause. Did you see our finished grill tonight I think it looked pretty good if I say so myself.

    My wife wants to ask if you was the one that posted broccoli last night?

    It has been few weeks since I did broccoli so I don't think it was me.

    She saw a vegetable post last night and thought that it was yours. She has been looking for it and can't find it. Thanks for your reply and sorry to trouble you.

    @SGH - looks good, forgive me if I missed it, but how'd it end up tasting, and relative to low n slow ribs?

    Sunday - if you're around, we're making a trip out to your neck of the woods.

    As far as the taste vs low and slow the taste was spot on. As to the texture there is nothing you can really do about that because of the high temp tightening the meat more. If you remember I ran a test not to long ago cooking ribs at a high temp in my vertical reverse flow cabinet over a massive water pan to see if I could replicate the texture of low and slow. Even in a air tight cooker with the massive water pan the meat still tightened more than when cooking low and slow. The taste is spot on nonetheless . As of late when cooking at very high temps I do not pull the ribs when they pass the bend test. I give them 10-15 minutes more cook time to reduce down and render out farther. It so far has yielded exceptional results for me. All the above being said I feel that the average Joe could not tell the difference in the turbo cooked ribs or the low and slow cooked ribs. However the astute BBQ chef or trained tongue can easily recognize the texture difference at first bite. In conclusion the ribs tasted spectacular my friend. I'm going to keep tweaking the method and when perfected I will gladly post the procedure here.

    @SGH. The way you think through a cook before you even start, not just on this experiment, but everything you approach, is pure poetry.
    You have an unusual sensitivity to what may work and what can be done to improve existing methods.
    My hat is always off to you. Thanks a ton.

    One other noticeable difference as well. I really loaded the egg up with oak, pecan and Jack Daniels chips as well but no noticeable smoke ring due to the speed at which the meat cooks. You could taste smoke no doubt but there was no visible ring to speak of if that's important to you.image

    @SGH - Nicely done.  I know of the texture issue you speak of.  I'm not surprised to the lack of smoke ring - you cooked them almost like steaks.  The outer meat temp jumps up fast above the 140F range, where the myoglobin doesn't develop the color.  You could start off low and slow, when the meat hits 140F, open the turbo-gate and nuke it.  Or just add some sodium nitrite to your rub. 

    Thanks for the excellent summary of your well planned experiment.  I greatly appreciate the scientific method outside of the laboratory.

    Sure, that's a 'bot ("robot" spammer).  Ignore it, most of us have that stuff and no one really looks at the wall except to mock the people thinking they were sending PMs but screwed up.

    I'll have to give this a try.  My low and slow method comes out so tender, a toothless person could eat them.  I like to spritz with a half & half apple cider vinegar, or three parts water, vinegar & some kind of fruit juice, depends on what i have on hand.  Your ribs look delicious...

    Thank you for the kind words. The spritz worked just as I had hoped that it would. In hind sight I just wished I would have started spritzing a little earlier in the cook. But short of that everything went just as I had hoped. Again thanks for the kind words my friend.
