Ever have this happen?

I have had a couple of racks of BBRs on for 2 hrs now. Lifted the lid and saw this:

it's not like there is more than the normal amount of loin meat on it.

Nope never seen that. Odd.

Wow, I have never seen that but I have to say that the last three St. Louis racks I have done have cooked "oddly".

After cooking those three at 250 for 2.5 hours I checked and they had no pull back. I let the last two go to 3 hours and no pullback, some flexibility and no cracking but looking good, IT was 170ish. I wrapped all 3 for 1.5 hours and very little pullback when opened and not tender where we like them although they were in the 190-200 IT area. Two were cooked in my Performer and the other in my Rec Tec 680. One rack from Publix but the last two were from Creekstone. Similar process I have used for 25 years.

Have heard others in other forums complaining about the same thing. IDK, will try another one from Creekstone on Monday.

I potentially see ribs and loins getting a bit larger. My brother cooked a 12 pound loin the other day. It maxed out the vegetable rack on his grill.

The last two racks I did, baby backs, also cooked oddly. They came from Wild Fork Foods and were very different on the weight. 3.9lbs and 2.8lbs. So I expected the smaller rack to cook much faster. Nope. Done at exactly the same time. Also, no pull back at all. But they were perfectly tender and delicious. 🤷‍♂️

He’s just kissing his a€¥ goodbye. 😳

[Steve R.]

He should have been. He turned out fine (never did straighten back out) and got devoured just like the other one.

[Red Man]

Nope, never seen that

[smokin fool]

Probably some kind of gym rat hawg.
Worked out to much, muscles are too tight

[bbqLuv]

I think I know the problem: "Dupuytren’s contracture"
Not sure if that helps.

[JeffJ]

It looks like some gremlin snuck under the lid and twisted the rack. I’ve never encountered that.

[DavidNorcross]

New one for me. Very odd. UFO?

So that's why you're supposed to remove the membrane.
