Title: Hot n' Fast
Post by: Big Dawg on January 14, 2018, 04:20:51 PM
Taking my first run at Hot n' Fast ribs.  It's also the first time I've cooked babybacks in a long time.

Here they after about an hour.  I've got a pit probe on the lower grate and also one in the vent so that I can, hopefully, track the temps for both cooking levels.  I just hit them with apple juice spritz and swapped the upper rack with one of the ones on the lower grate.

Right now I'm hitting about 350º on the upper and 280º on the lower.

I'll let you know how it turns out.

BD,
If you need someone to help you taste them, I am available.  Just thought I'd let you know.

Watching this one closely...
Like Roget sez, it would be nice to do 'em like this when you're pressed for time.

I hope it works...

Okay, so this is how it went:

After giving all three racks some time on the "upper deck" I pulled them off, gave them another spritz, hit them with a little Big Dick's Rib Rub, and wrapped them in foil.  the upper deck was running between 350º to 375º.  The main grate stayed between 280º and 300º.

Then I packed them in cooler because these were for dinner at my parents' house (I cook dinner every weekend for them).

At 7:30 I put them (still foiled) in a 350º oven.  At 8:00, I pulled them so I could bring the oven up to 450º for tater tots.  While the tots were doing their thing, I glazed the ribs with that Big Red Glaze (http://www.letstalkbbq.com/index.php?topic=17463.0).  A little before 9:00, the ribs went back in for 10 minute so that I could set the glaze.

So, not "true" Hot n' Fast, but still, it was 2½ hours in the Weber and then 30 minutes foiled in the oven.  I'm sure there was some carryover while they "rested" but I guess the most it would've taken in the oven was an hour.  So, maybe a total time of 3½ hours, and here's the result:

They came out very tender with the meant pulling cleanly off the bone . . . not fall of the bone.  They were a big hit with everyone.

I will being doing this again ! ! !
