Title: 80 Pounds of Beef Ribs
Post by: ACW3 on September 14, 2015, 09:12:00 AM
I will be smoking 80 pounds of beef ribs today and tomorrow for my fraternity.  Mainly looking to give them a good hickory smoke flavor and partially cook them.  I'll vacuum seal them and then they can finish cooking them in the oven before they serve them.  I may have to pull several pounds for quality control.

As a recently retired QA guy, I will determine what my "Sample Size" should be and will give you all the help you need on the quality part of this endeavor  :P :P :P :P

Rest assured I will be ready for some "destructive testing"  ;) ;D

I decided that I should check to see how many pounds of bones I really had.  As it turns out, there was 103 pounds of nice looking beef ribs.  I saved one 18 pound package for future "reference".  They still get their 80 pounds.  Actually, they will get 85 pounds of wonderful beef ribs.  I will have a meal in the future that will be out-of-sight.

It is looking like I will have to cook three more batches on my MAK.  I don't want to over-crowd them while they are cooking.  I will be posting some more pictures of the actual cook.  NO UNICORN BEEF RIBS HERE!!

BTW, the first batch smells great!

Well, it took a total of 4 cooks for all those bones.  They are all vacuum sealed.  I really worked my Cabelas vacuum sealer in the last couple of days.

Bones ready to come off the grill.

Next batch of bones ready for smoke and heat.  Only one more cook after this one.

I will be delivering all the vacuum sealed ribs later this morning.  Glad that is over.  I discovered that I had overflowed my grease bucket.  I wasn't watching close enough.  Lesson learned (I hope).

Lemme know when you're doing your "research" and will be checking your "reference" ! ! ! !

Actually, Art, I just ran across some these, for the first time, in a Super WalMart. 

What time/temp were you cooking them?

I cooked them at 225 so I could get some smoke flavor on them. The timing was around four to four and a half hours. I stopped them at that point in time because they will have to be reheated before serving.  If I was going to serve them right away, I would probably go for another 30 to 60 minutes.

Those look amazingly good!   Wow, what an undertaking.    Next time, IF there is one, give me some notice and I can be your tester/taster, especially to make sure your grease catcher doesn't get too full!   With that many ribs, that could almost be a full time job!
