I'm with Chile. I would go indirect then sear on the kettle. Doing a sous vide with big tomahawks is a pain.
One small tip...if you are into presentation, foil the bone as you smoke. It will keep it from getting too dark.
These were STL. Got through the cartilage no problem. The bones may have just been different than others I have done before. I like that vertical trick. Gonna try that for sure.
Thanks, Al. Was really pleased with the color on these.
On another note, has anyone had any trouble when it comes to carving the ribs up? I'm thinking I will need a good brisket knife to cut these properly. I kept running into the bones as if they were not running in a "straight" direction...
So this is the first somewhat decent cook on the OK Joe. Done some wings and brats, very short and easy. Decided to get some ribs on there since they were $0.99/lb. Simple rub: salt, pepper, paprika. Went a bit heavy on the salt IMO, so will tweak that next time. Maybe balance it with a...
Don't you need a membership to shop at restaurant depot? And don't you have to have a business license/resleller's permit to buy there? Always wanted to shop there, but that was the drawback.
Very true. I notice I have to let my new splits catch and burn for a bit before shutting the main firebox door, while I leave the side door wide open. Stack is also wide open.
Sounds like you are all set. Someone will correct me if I am wrong, but stay away from the pine. You didn't say you were going to use that for smoking, but wanted to make sure I threw that out there.
I'm so glad someone on here is in literally the same position I am, and having the same...
I agree with the two above posts. Charcoal to start and only wood during cook. I am also new to this, and have done both ways. If I have the time I will create some kindling from my splits and do a wood only fire, but if I am in a bit more of a rush I will get the charcoal going first and let...
They should have pecan logs. I picked up a bag of chunks with my oak this weekend. If you call in ahead of time and tell them what you want they will have it ready for you when you get there. I went to the yard and purchased myself. Glad to help out.
As someone who is in a very similar situation, I would definitely recommend the baffle and/or tuning plates. Just make sure you measure the length and width of where you plan on putting them, so you do not have to go back and have them cut down again. Use some cardboard and cut out a template...
Comes with a wood supply too? Seems like a good deal. Looks to be in great shape. May just want to drive over and take a look at it. Also, look at their website for comparision. http://www.peoriacookers.com/custom-cookers/backyard-cooker.html
