St. Louis Ribs Part 2. Started late!
Thanks. I'll pull it now. I pulled the other rack and they were fine. The meat wasn't falling off the bone or anything, but came off easily. Tough balance on done vs overdone for us noobs lol. -

St. Louis Ribs Part 2. Started late!
It's a pellet - LG 900. I'm a bit surprised to read 3 hours. Almost everything I have read online says 5-6 hrs for STL. You think that rib falling out indicates I should pull it? -

St. Louis Ribs Part 2. Started late!
4.5 hours in, the front rack seems to be passing the bend test and it's a thin rack. The back rack has more meat on it and doesn't seem to be passing the bend test, still not vertical or cracking, but a rib is fell out when I moved it. Seems a bit early to be done, no? -

St. Louis Ribs Part 2. Started late!
Round two of Costco St. Louis ribs. This time, no pan - direct on the grates. Saturday it took about 6 hours to finish at 225 with the pan/bakers rack. I meant to start today's cook at Noon, but got delayed then managed to let the smoker run out of pellets while I was preparing the ribs. I set... -

Smoking some spare ribs this afternoon
I bought the St. Louis pack at Costco a couple weeks back when they were on sale for $1.99/lb. for the first time. I opened the back today and was surprised to find they were already trimmed. So much for rib tips, but that's ok. I put some rub on them and put them in the smoker on my new... -

Corned beef from the freezer
it is still frozen. I plan to toss it since I the other one that was bought at the same time looks fine, so something is amiss. Just was wondering what would cause this. I know when I bought these they went straight into the freezer so they didn't sit in the fridge past the use by date and have... -

Corned beef from the freezer
Hey everyone, I took a package of corned beef out of the freezer today to slow cook later this week. The packaging is expanding which concerns me and leads me to believe this meat is bad. i had another corned beef in the freezer which was bought at the same time post st. Pats last year (use by... -

Help Broken smoker! Do i turn to the oven?
Turned out great! Finally finished at 10:30 after 12 hours or so. I think my smoker runs cool as the Thermoworks reported -20 offset. I notice no cayenne from the red cayenne pellets, so either the potency subsided as they are over a year old or they just don't do much.- DougCA
