So, last night after it was decided we weren't going to go out I got The Itch. I mean, I've got this new SnS and all I've done is two trial runs and seared a Sous Vide ribeye. I must cook ribs! So after a quick trip to the grocery store for ribs, rub & sauce it's time to cook!
Dusted with Famous Daves' Rib Rub and let 'em sit while I went to the liquor store & got the SnS fired up & temp dialed in.
Temp ran up to the 250-260 area and then settled in at 235 after about 30 minutes. Good enough, let's get these puppies on there. Temp stayed at 235 for the first 40 minutes after the ribs went on then dropped to 225 and sat there like a rock for the next 3ish hours. Perfect. It's almost like I know what I'm doing.
Three and a halfish hours later, time to start checking if we're done. Nope.
45 minutes later I got what looked like a good bend test and pulled them off. Cut the rack in half, left half dry & sizzled Stubbs Spicy on the other.
Time to dig in!
Turns out the bend test wasn't quite an accurate indicator of doneness here. They needed maybe another half hour as some of the meatier ribs don't come clean off the bone. I also needed more smoke, I probably should have loaded the wood more toward the lit side of the SnS for a shorter cook like this & thrown on a couple more chunks about an hour in.
Overall pretty successful, I learned some things & the Last Minute Ribs were pretty damn tasty. They must have been, I stood in the kitchen and ate half the rack.
