put these in the sv 152 for 24 hours. Nice thing is you can finish them any time your ready. I like this technique

    I have a couple half-racks in the freezer now. Great to pull out the day before and finish on the egg. 

    Looks great!

    This may be my go to way for ribs now. Really moist and tender, full of flavour.  I like that I can have them in the hot tub when I’m working and finish them fast when I get home

  • @GlennM you may want to try and experiment and see if you can tell much of a difference. I run mine at 165 for 12 hours. Did it for 24 and couldn't tell a difference. Cut off half my cooking time. 

    But yeah, it's great to finish them early in the week and have something you can toss on the smoke for two hours or just finish if you're in a hurry.

    I do mine at 145* for 36 hours. They are tender, but still have some bite to them.

    I did spares for 24 hours at 150 then grilled for 30.  Zero smoke flavor.  I wonder if the recipe I used was a bit off on the grilling time.  Are you getting a good smoke flavor - if so how long post SV are do you have the ribs on the egg?

    Was it a direct transfer to the grill? I've seen some where people cool them back down and then sear/grill, but haven't tried that with any sous vide cook yet.

  • you can use smoked salts, pepper, and paprika in your rub to help boost the smoke flavor if you don't feel you are getting enough from the grill. some swear by liquid smoke but I haven't been able to bring myself to that low, low place just yet.

    I vac seal them with rub and a couple drops of liquid smoke. Freeze them and sv when ready. I let them cool for a bit and the on the q @ 300 with apple chunks and sauce till they look good. I liked the 24 hrs. Higher temp shorter time equals less moisture

    How can it be less moisture when it is sealed in a bag?

    The amount of moisture in the bag (not in the meat) is more at a higher temp
