Korean BBQ Ribs Last Night

@Botch recently posted this cook, which got me hungry for some ribs:
The above cook has a recipe for marinade from scratch, I plan to try that but not this time, used my old reliable pre-packaged...

Used about 3.5 pounds worth (15 rib strips) marinaded for 16 hours.  As I pointed out in the post from Botch, my method is different from most that do these, not hot and fast, indirect at 250-270 for about 2.5 hours with hickory chunks.  Here we are about 1.5 hours in...
And ready to come off after 2.5 hours...
Served up with coleslaw, avocado, tomato from the garden and air fried breaded okra (not shown)...

One of our favorites.

    Beautiful. Almost like char Siu, probably not as chewy as hot n fast. Nice balance of colours and condiments in the last pic.

    Love it. 
      I do a similar cook but remove the meat from the bone after and make Korean street tacos. 
      Love the color on those things. I’m gonna have to give that BBQ sauce a try. Thanks for
    sharing.

    Looks delish!  
    How was the "juiciness"?  I'd be worried about cooking such thin (and cross-grain) proteins for that long, even at that low temp, drying out.  
    I'm gonna try it this way next time, I'm curious.   B)

    I’ve always cooked them hot and fast but I may give the slower method a try next time.

    First off, no guarantees that before moving to indirect method my hot and fast cooks were done correctly.  That said they came out very similar to those I've had in restaurants.  Typically tough, chewy and not to my liking.
    I have not had them dry out going indirect and find them to be more tender, better collagen production and better fat rendering.  Plus the extra time allows for wood smoke to impart some flavor.
    My pic at about 1.5 hours in may not show clearly but, there are pools of mostiure on the ribs.  Not sure if that is rendered fat or the marinade, seems to always occur.  At any rate they stay moist until done, which I judge same as other rib cooks, the toothpick probe thing.
    Give them a try and see what you think.

    Thanks!  I've still got half the package in the freezer, will give it a try.
