I am going to steal my own thread.

Why do you'all suppose the ribs cooked so quickly?

Here is the temperature sequence:

1) preheated all grates on high
2) turned all burners to 6:00 o'clock when I placed rotisserie on grill.

Ribs done (almost too well) in 30-40 minutes.

Normally my ribs take twice as long if entirely cooked by placing directly on the grates (maybe cook at 4:30 o'clock).

ALL EARS ! ! !

God bless you,
Albert

Nice looking ribs Albert!

If they cooked so fast, you'd have to think the temperature is too high.  That's easy to do on the  Quantum.  Mine gets real hot real fast.
I'd recommend starting at the 6 o'clock position and Pre-heating only as long as it takes to set up the rotisserie.  Once you have it started, move 'em to the
4 o'clock position. Also, place a pan of water under the ribs.
An alternative would be to use only the outside burner. I wish I could be there to experiment with you.

Uncle Dee cooks on the Quantum...he might have a tip for you.

Jaxon, Not that I will always do Ribs this method from now on but they were some mighty fine, tender and moist ribs!

Good enough to deliberately cook for quest... they were extremely good! Different, but good.


Now, the point that I want to make: FAST!... 30-40 minutes !

God bless you,
Albert

So you're saying if we make a quick trip over there we can have ribs for supper?

They will be ready even if you are half way here!

Next I am going to experiment with regular ribs (these were baby backs).

I am going to get the meat cutter to use his band saw and cut regular ribs length wise so that when placed on rotisserie they clear the grates as they turn.
God bless you,
Albert
