Rib Bundle

[IrondeQuer]

Was just watching a Cook's Country video and they took a couple of racks of St. Louis cut ribs, put them bone to bone and tied them together. On the kettle they were using, they ended up with 4 racks getting smoked instead of two. They finished them separately in the oven.

Has anyone tried that? I don't have anything much bigger than a kettle and thought it was an interesting approach.

The video is here. Hopefully the link will work without a blocking message as they sent it out in an email.

Video works for me.

Here's a screencap from the video in case picturing what he means was confusing. They're laying one rack of ribs on top of another rack, bone sides touching. 4 total racks in the space of two.



I could get by w/o tying them but I suppose it's handy when it comes time to flip.

Cook's Country/ATK needs a Slow 'N Sear!

Yes, they do! And they need to figure out that rubbing a hot grill with oil doesn't keep meat from sticking, it just adds burnt oil to the grill.

I'm a subscriber, BTW. They have some good stuff on their various sites.

Thanks for posting that pic @Huskee!!

I just watched that episode(got the same email), seems like a good idea if you need to cook 4 racks on a kettle. I agree with Huskee, would be better with a SNS.
