Title: In honor of Jon Gruden's return to coaching ... Smoked Chuckies (Ribs)!
Post by: UWFSAE on January 10, 2018, 07:50:30 PM

Saw posts by HighOnSmoke and tomcrete1 using some Chuck Beef Riblets from Wal-Mart and decided to give them a whirl.  They were priced $2.94/lb. when I purchased them and were cryovaced with two pieces per package.  These are about the same size as back ribs and didn't have any true shiners.

I slathered them with a thin layer of molasses and Worcestershire sauce to act as a binder, then liberally seasoned them with kosher salt, coarse ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin.  They were held in the fridge overnight; they were taken out and brought up to room temperature.

After a calibration test with my new Fireboard, my Blaz'n Gridiron was running +/- 1° from a set point of 250°.  I am still running out the string on the BBQers Delight Hickory pellets from my burn in; smoke was thin and blue, just as it should have been.

I let them run at 250° for 3.5 hours without opening the lid.  When checked on the Thermapen they had an I.T. of 198° ... just a hair above the 195° I was going to remove them at.

Let them rest for 15 minutes before slicing.  Smoke rings may not have an impact on taste but they're a thing of beauty ...

I'll purchase them again, without a doubt.  I'll use a heavier hand on the kosher salt and try cracked pepper rather than a coarse grind on the next effort ... and probably add a some sort of heat to the rub.
