Title: Combo Beef Rib Cook on the MAK
Post by: TentHunteR on April 20, 2018, 06:15:24 PM

I'd been wanting some beef ribs, so the wife checked the freezer and we had  a pack of beef back ribs and a pack of 2  good sized beef short ribs. I looked at them and thought, "What the heck, I'll cook 'em both up!"

I sliced the short ribs in half so they were the same thickness as the back ribs, and seasoned all but two pieces of the short ribs up with a light coating of "Smokin' Guns - Sweet Heat".  The other two pieces were for the pooch, so no seasoning!  Onto the MAK for a ride in Smoke mode for about a couple hours, then bumped the temp up to 245° for another couple hours.

Getting some nice pull back on them bones.

Next, they were wrapped tightly in foil with a little hard cider to braise for about an hour or so at 325° until tender using toothpick test.

Once tender, and fat rendered, the temp was bumped to 350° (to get a little caramelization) and they were sauced with some of my homemade low-carb BBQ sauce.  Look at how much smoke is still rolling out of the MAK even at 350° with the new FlameZone. I had a hard time getting a decent pic with all the smoke and had to settle for this one, so I could get the lid closed!

The ribs came out very tender, tasty and smoky!  I had mine with some creamed Cauliflower and a salad (to keep it low carb).

The New FlameZone funnel design really does allow for more smoke even at higher temperatures.  I love it!  :thumbup:
