Home alone with the Memphis
« Reply #14 on: April 05, 2018, 06:57:22 PM »
Thanks all!  Just the youngest and I home tonight, so a rack of spares went on about 11:30 this morning. Also noticed I’m down to my last 4 bags of pellets so had to get a quote for another 1000lbs of Lumberjack:)
Love spare ribs... actually prefer them St. Louis style, but YUM!  Did some on Easter.  7 hours at 210 degrees and they were perfect.  What temp ya cooking them at?  Also, where do you order your Lumberjack pellets from... directly from the manufacturer?

 Bbq pellets online is where I ordered from.

Did these at 250 straight through but they got done about an hour and half before the family showed up for dinner, so wrapped in bp with the pit set to 180...I like my ribs naked and don’t usually wrap...I lost some sheen on the ribs after being wrapped to hold for 90 minutes and they were falling off the bone overcooked:(. Tasted good though!

Pig honey!

That steak is cooked just the way I like it, nice job and I am sure it was tasty.

Thanks!

Those ribs look perfect!  About the pellets, I am considering a 1/2 ton of Smoke Ring pellets. Do you have any experience with this brand of pellets?  The price is right, and the few people I have talked to seem to love them! The OHC (Oak, Hickory and Cherry) blend is one of their most popular and is probably what I’d buy (love these wood types).

There is a SUPER reputable BBQ store (heavy into pellet grills) here in CA.  The owner is a serious geek when it comes to researching/testing anything BBQ related. He has been cooking with pellets for years and has tried and tested most major brands... after discovering Smoke Ring, he just recently started carrying them. He swears by them!

Good looking cooks! I'm just getting my feet wet with my new Memphis Elite. So far I've some "everyday" weeknight meals, the kind of stuff I'd normally do over charcoal or on the gasser like fajitas, steaks, boneless chicken breasts.

VERY happy so far, I love the direct flame flavorizer. Getting to know the grill, temps, etc. I've overcooked some food a little bit so far, as this thing puts out some amazing hi-temps, higher than I expected!

Looking forward to trying some low and slow ribs, brisket, pork butt... Question. How long did that rack of spare ribs cook for at 250 until it was done?

Yeah, the direct flame zone can torch food pretty easily...a little learning curve there for sure. I think those ribs went about 5.5 hours as they were a whole I trimmed rack. Baby backs about. 3:30-4 hours, trimmed spares maybe 4-4:30
