    AmazingRibs website is temporarily down

    Pit Boss , I couldn't get on to the AR website for quite a while this morning. Was it down for repairs? Just curious if it was the site or my computer, although I could access other websites no probs.

    Smoking a pastrami today and just needed to check a couple of details. I had to fly solo

      Hey fzxdoc thanks for posting this, now I don't have to create a new thread. We had a bit of a infrastructure support issue (not our fault) that brought the site down for a few hours. The site is, or should be, back up for everyone very shortly.

      How can we help with the Pastrami?

        Bring a fork! Actually, so far it's a perfect cook. Fingers crossed for a good outcome.

        Awesome. One thing I'll add for pastrami. I recommend you cook it past 150F when smoking. Smoke it until you get the bark the way you want it.

        Thanks, Pit Boss . I've done Pastrami twice and really like bringing it to 180+ before wrapping at taking it alll the way to 203. I know Meathead says we can take it to 165 for safety reasons and then reheat in 24 hours over steam, but I like having that bark nice and firm. I looked at it at 165 and didn't feel that good about how firm the bark might be upon reheating. To each her own, I guess, in this case. I'll report back.

      I should add, while the main site is experiencing issues, you may notice slowness in The Pit and it may look like the page doesn't fully load (your browser will constantly look like the page is loading). We'll have things back up and running soon.

        • We have two weber kettle grills (one LARGE and one small/average), the SnS and the Weber Smokey Mountain 18" smoker. We use both natural lump charcoal and KNB for smoking and measure our temps with a Maverick 733, thermopen and MK4. Favorite beer depends on what is cooking (alt answer is yes).

        Thanks - I wondered why I couldn't get on this morning.

        Sorry we couldn't help, fzxdoc ! Hope it turns out GREAT!

        When I do mine, I take a local chef's advice to heart, and add some crushed fresh roasted coriander seed.

              If you have a Weber Kettle, you need the Slow 'N' Sear

              slow n sear
              The Slow 'N' Sear turns your grill into a first class smoker and also creates an extremely hot sear zone you can use to create steakhouse steaks.

              The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One

              the good one grill
              The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.

              Griddle And Deep Fryer In One

              Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
              The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, and home fries. Or pancakes, fajitas, grilled cheese, you name it. Why stink up the house deep frying and spatter all over? Do your fried chicken and calamari outside. Blackstone's Rangetop Combo With Deep Fryer does it all!

              The Pit Barrel Cooker May Be Too Easy

              Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
              The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.

              The Undisputed Champion!

              thermapen
              The Thermoworks Thermapen MK4 is considered by the pros, and our team, to be the single best instant read thermometer. The MK4 includes features that are common on high-end instruments: automatic backlight and rotating display. Don't accept cheap substitutes.

              Grilla Pellet Smoker proves good things come in small packages

              Grilla pellet smoker
              We always liked Grilla. The small 31.5" x 29.5" footprint makes it ideal for use where BBQ space is limited, as on a condo patio.

              PK 360 grill
              The PK-360, with 360 square inches of cooking space, this rust free, cast aluminum charcoal grill is durable and easy to use. Four-way venting means it's easy to set up for two zone cooking with more control than single vent Kamado grills. It is beautifully designed, completely portable, and much easier to set up for 2-zone cooking than any round kamado.

              kareubequ bbq smoker

              The amazing Karubecue is the most innovative smoker in the world. The quality of meat from this machine is astonishing. At its crux is a patented firebox that burns logs above the cooking chamber and sucks heat and extremely clean blue smoke into the thermostat controlled oven. It is our favorite smoker, period.
