    I followed this recipe to a T, and my ribs turned out excellent last night. My friends and family were super impressed with my A+ results on my very first attempt and very first use of the Kamado Joe! I think my only deviation was in what wood (hickory), rub (something Texas-style), and sauce (Sweet Baby Rays) I used.

    John, I love your rib-cooking process, including 3-2-1 ribs. However, I have a heck of a time getting the silverback off when prepping. (adds so much time to prepping!). Is it better to have the ribs at room temp when attempting to pull the silverback off, or does it work right out of the fridge just as well. Thanks.

    I have done the 3-2-1 method on my Classic Joe a few times and was never happy with the results. Tried this today and its been the best result for Pork Ribs on my Kamado so far. I cooked two spare ribs and they were amazing. Im almost sure the Pork in Australia is bred a bit smaller than the Pork in the states so I would suggest less is more. Next time I'm going to reduce my cooking time by another 20-30mins mins as I was sure the ribs were done before adding the bbq baste for the final stage of cooking.

      You can always do the bend test if you think they are done early.
      edit: there is also a slightly different bend test that most people do to the one in this video. You grab your ribs from one end to about 1/3 way down (length ways) and just pick the mup. If you start seeing nice cracks then it's done. Aaron Franklin has a good video on this as well.

    Instead of a sharp knife under the silverskin to lift it for pulling off, use a dull butter knife about the middle of the rack of ribs. It doesn't cut the silverskin and allows you to lift it easily.

    Just tried doing 6 full pork ribs using the grill extender this weekend. Experienced uneven cooking and i dont think they were cooked long enough (3.5hr total). they were seared first at about 400 deegrees and tried to get the temps down as fast as possible ( which is nearly impossible with this type of grill ). Obviously i feel these weren't cooked long enough, but is this grill technically capable of being fully loaded and to cook evenly ?

    ? by all means never peek before it's time. OTOH when the top is open, that is a good time to rotate your ribs (only have to do lengthwise) to ensure an "even" slow cooking. It makes a ton of difference.

    Hey man, your video was very helpful. I did side ribs and brisket on my Joe. They turned out ok. The tooth pick went right through the meat. It’s just that I have a little too much char than I would have liked. For the first three hours, the smoker held temperature perfectly. Then after that it got really hot to the point where I had to cook with the lid open for a bit but it got a fair bit of smoke and apple juice at the right temperature. Do you think I added too much charcoal or wood chips? I soaked the wood chips a day in advanced. Instead of chunks I used three handfuls and I placed it around the edge of the charcoal.

    Had my ribs on the Joe classic for ~ 5 hours at 250F, with both heat shields in place and an aluminium drip pan underneath. The ribs were simply amazing, but I was surprised how much the undersides burned over relatively low indirect heat. Anyone else ever seen this and maybe 220F would be better?

    • @LucidCoder
      @LucidCoder Před 2 lety +1

      Maybe just the tips of the bones can burn but not blacken, but I don't use a drip pan. (Maybe I should.) The drip pan might be radiating heat because it's conductive.
      I think I've had my best results when I struggled to get it up to 250F. I think 225F-240F is a pretty good zone to avoid drying out the ribs. You might need to cook a little longer, but don't just "set it and forget it". They need to be assessed for done-ness and not cooked past the done point.

    This is more like it John! Put your water bath back in the cupboard and get back to what the kamado is all about. This is why we watch you...
