Top Texas BBQ joint rates BGE Ribs

Had the chance to get Cooper from Bar-A-BBQ, one of Texas monthly’s hottest new bbq joints evaluate the ribs I cooked on an XL Egg using my adaption of his “cold smoke” method for the Egg. 

Being able to do stuff like this is one of the many reasons I’ve switched back. This was so much fun, let me know how you like the results after giving it a go.

    Validated the process right there.  Way to develop the method and bring it home.  Those ribs look great.  
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint.

    Thanks. Will replace all future pellet tube stuff with this. Even found it better when doing the cold smoked cheese a few weeks back so this setup is a keeper for sure

    as a self admitted literate member of society who is not convinced “videos are an improvement for the human race” and zero financial stake in the work or the soirée… i will offer a recap.  hope it’s mostly accurate. 

    first want to say i appreciate the effort and the sharing. i personally dont think we need the whole mulberry bush tour but understand that without it we wouldnt have what was shared. if interested please watch the videos and consider subscribing and staying signed in 24/7 to the brain rot video gorilla. and listen to john prine if you don’t already. 

    in an XL, there’s enough room to start a bed of coals in the back edge of the fire bowl and have a somewhat productive fire in the 200 degree range. adding post oak smoking wood “large chunks / short half splits” on the bed of coals with a half moon stone is enough real estate for a couple slabs of spare ribs to get going. basically you are adding post oak as you go (think stick burner) instead of starting with a cooks worth of lump fuel.

    the smoke is thick white at times but the testament in the video is that it does not overburden the ribs with creosote. 

    there is a conversion to full moon indirect later in the cook and uses some foil and glaze to really work toward a great result. the process is pretty well documented. 

    there was mention that big green egg shipped the xl to the site but not much else about the financial enablement or interest. smoking dad has mentioned a new switch to bge this year. if any other further details are desired or expected, maybe they will happen. otherwise keep a healthy dose of “marge recommends tupperware and by the way her sister betty with the three kids sells it if you need some.”
