Spares on the XL

Beanie-Bean · May 2009

Continuing on with the experimentation on the XL today. Here it is getting up to temp earlier this morning:

Almost done here. JH Pecan Rub on the left, DP Redeye Express on the right. SBR original sauce. No foiling or anything, just indirect the whole time. Platesetter high this time instead of beneath the ring, and only some HD foil for the drip pan. 250° on the DigiQ with lots of pecan for smoke:

NOTES: Don't like the platesetter that close to the ribs at all. Need more air in there. Kids liked the flap off the back at the 2.5 hr mark, and enjoyed the ribs. I'll be tweaking the setup and method on the XL and will try again soon, but not too soon. I cooked a lot of pork this weekend, and need a break from it for a short bit.

I am begining to wonder if that may have been the reason for the re-design to the XL. :ermm:

Pecan rub still one of my favorites. I used Red eye express tonight on a prime rib. Thats some awesome stuff too. Great looking ribs.

Nice lookin' spares Beanie-Bean

I like the multi-purpose Guru clamp too

I could see myself doing that someday when I decide to take the plunge for an ATC

Nice looking spares. I agree with your observations on the XL. The platesetter could've been thought out a little better.

Nice BB. JH Pecan, DP, Pecan for smoke, and SBR - hard to beat.
