bouche Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 I'm going for round 2 of bbq/smoked ribs. I've got the webber setup for indirect grilling, but I'm having a hard time getting the temperature to stay at 250. I didn't measure the heat yesterday, and my rack turned into beef jerky. I had to go out and buy some backup meat for dinner.I'm very determined to figure out real ribs, so I went out and got a gorgeous rack at Saslove's. The temperature is over 400, and I closed some vents. I'm putting a meat thermometer in the vent hole over the bare part of the grill for the temperature from time to time. I plan on tossing in my soaked hickory wood when the heat is down another 100 F.Any tips would be appreciated. I do not want to screw this up again.

bouche Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Ribs set aside with rub. a mixture of dark brown sugar, salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder. Ribs after about 1/2 hour I've got a small amount of coal around one edge of the grill and some hickory wood on top generating smoke. the temperature is hovering around 250-300. I'm managing it by opening and closing the vent underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 The probe in the vent trick has always worked well for me. I'm assuming it's a weber kettle that you have? You could try and mimic a smoker by adding a bowl of water on the lower grill..the moisture will help the smoke settl einto the meat, it might help with keeping a stable temperature too. I would start a pile of coal and grey them out and then add 2-3 fresh ones on top of that whenever the temp. dips a bit lower than you want.

bouche Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 i ended up mastering the temperature. it is a weber, and the patented webber vents really did allow me to change the temperature by opening and closing in small increments.the ribs came out fantastic.

bouche Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 on the CBC this morning they were talking about a movie called 'Barbecue is a Noun' that documents the real BBQ style from the south. might be worth checking out. Check it when I was in Kentucky for work many years ago, our clients asked us "what do you want for lunch?"I was expecting the sort of choices like you would hear around here, chinese, pizza, mcdonald's, rudy's pub, etc...Instead, our choices didn't include chinese, and barbecue was a choice. I asked them what they meant, and they explained, Ribs, Chicken, wings, pulled pork etc...I learned then that barbecue is a thing, not an activity or method of cooking down there.
