Went to a Shindig last night so I dropped a bag of beef and pork ribs in  the hot tub time machine. Woke up today fired up the KBQ, set at 160 Degrees. Smoked for 2 hours





Them are Teriyaki STL ribs.

Ahhhhh....

I like the the use of Sous Vide + wood fired cooker. Gotta be one of those "sum is greater than the parts" meals. Looks great Biggs!

The texture of the ribs was out of this world. Imagine a buttery, well marbled steak on a stick.

I just pulled the trigger on the Karubecue after reading this thread, and will be popping its cherry tomorrow with a couple racks of spares. Thanks for this great thread.

The only way I've found to get great brisket with my Primo is the sous vide method, pounding it with smoke for the last few hours. That method works! I was thinking I may still do the butts on the Primo but I can't wait to try a brisket on the Karubecue.

Have you used pecan in your Karubecue? The instructions say to avoid as it doesn't coal well, but I have alot of it lying around.

@Swamp Thing yes I have used Pecan but it does ash badly instead of coaling. You can mix it with some oak for a bed bed of coal.
KBQ works pretty well with sous vide because you can set it to smoke at around the same temp that you sous vide your meat.

Had a free day and a rack of ribs in the refrigerator. Let's KBQ
You're probably wondering why the meat did not pull away from the bone end. That's because I do my ribs at 200 - 215.


Switch up the BBQ sides every now and then.



Hold the sauce. Well executed ribs do not need sauce

Some braised lentils with carrots and edamame, cooled and dressed with balsamic and orange vinaigrette.

As good as the ribs look - and they DO - you can plate me some of those lentils wow!

I lightly salted the STL ribs and went into 145 degrees  bath for 36 hours. These were extra thick STL ribs.
After the bath I chilled them and refrigerated while still sealed.

For the beef short ribs I did 158 degrees for 12 hours. I wanted a more traditional BBQ texture. These were chilled and refrigerated as well.
I didn't use any special rubs, just salt, pepper, some granulated garlic and a touch of cayenne on both meats.

Then I set my KBQ for smoking at 150 - 160 degrees. Smoked both pork and beef for 2 hours.

My first bite into the Pork ribs almost brought me to tears!!!!!

So with sous, I can  SV the ribs on a Monday,store them and just briefly smoke em before serving. They're every bit as good, maybe even better than your traditional ribs.

As for the beef ribs, hands down winner!!!
Just make sure meat is well chilled before smoking and you'll be rewarded with great smoke flavor.
And if you're into smoke rings, take a look at the sliced beef, that's only 2 hours on the smoker.
