    Beef ribs for kosher friend

    204° done. Pulled at 5:30pm. Just about 7 hours at 275° or so. Bone fell out. Oops. 6.8lb pre cook

    Beef ribs for kosher friend

    Thanks Sir! I helped get his big Halloween outside display set up after Shiva. For some reason he thought it wasn't a good idea to set up skelatons and a graveyard in his yard during Shiva... Probably smart! Then last week I'm over his house and he showed me this 16lb USDA prime brisket he...

    Brisket too big for the Masterbuilt

    I've always told my wife... I'll know I've made it in life when I can comfortably purchase a grill/smoker that has a tow hitch. I don't really need one, I just want one.

    Dino Short Ribs (beef)

    Checked at about 3 hours. Moving along nicely. Pull back happening. Meat in both racks is 172°. I found the top rank to be about 10° hotter than the bottom rack, so I did switch the racks so the bigger piece of meat is on top. Sprayed with apple cider vinegar. Forgot to take photos. Added...

    Dino Short Ribs (beef)

    Hey there smokers (no not you Canada!) Last week I did some beef ribs for a friend and got some great results viewable here. I cross posted those pictures to Facebook and my wife's coworkers saw the pictures. Predicable, I'm now smoking two ranks for their meeting or whatever they call it...

    Beef ribs for kosher friend

    Bear, I've got to get better about adding small amounts of wood more often rather than a lot of wood a few times. I went electric because I want to be able to do other things while I smoke so time gets away from me. I should probably set alarms for every 40 minutes or so on the next smoke...

    Certainly not wrapping at this point. 5pm and we're at 198. 6 hours in the smoker. Have not opened the smoker since 3:30pm (an hour and a half ago). Hopefully the ends aren't burnt.... With great risk comes great bark!

    Beef ribs for kosher friend

    Atomic, yes it was probably bad to put kosher in the subject line. If he wasn't Jewish I'd be making him pork ribs for sure. Much easier. Then again I have plenty of Jewish friends that would eat a cheeseburger with bacon. It's just navigating his particular version of "kosher". But I...

    Beef ribs for kosher friend

    Figured out I had a bad probe. 184° on 2 probes now. The wayward probe is reading 370° haha! Still got some time. Took another picture because why not? 3:30pm. No more looking... Time for cooking.

    Beef ribs for kosher friend

    Jeff that's kind of my thought. 4 hours is probably enough smoke. Checked ribs at 2:40pm so about 4 hours in. Put two probes in as best as I could. They're reading 201° and 191°. I might need to open it back up and place the proces better. They're calibrated and accurate. Tappecue V1.

    If I don't wrap, should I stop adding wood at some point? I don't want to over smoke the meat.
