Title: TMB style ribs in SRG
Post by: richvalle on December 12, 2014, 11:28:42 AM
I wanted to grill something last weekend and found ribs on sale ($4 a lb), a perfect match.

I tried TMB's 40 min naked,  40 min in foil, 10 min with sauce method of cooking.

Since I had them I used the rib hooks. I had to cut some ribs off the end to make them fit.

After 40 min they are nicely browned.

Since things have been cooking fast I pulled them after 30 min and checked the temp. 190!

Added sauce and back in for 8 or so min.

The ribs were good though I still feel like I don't have a handle for how fast things are cooking. I'd have liked to get the ribs closer to 160 then 190. Oh well, more practice needed.  :)

I think you could call those ribs a success in anybody's book! But - practice with the SRG is the only way to figure out how long to leave the lid closed or open, and what temp range on the knob works best for your location.

I would be happy to take a bite on those ribs!

Looks good from here.

Now like any cooker, you have to watch and adjust accordingly and looks like you did well ;)

You will get the feel for your cooker it just takes time and practice.   Lord know I practice a lot with mine  :D

Glad it worked for you

Still at 121  :(      Been busy and knee issues have kept me from cooking a lot.  Will be cooking soon and #125  is not to far off

YUM, them ribs look guuu-uuud!!!  I'd say you did a great job with this batch.


One question:  You mentioned you'd like to get your ribs closer to 160° instead of 190°?  160° seems a little underdone to me or am I missing something since this is an infrared cooker?

Your ribs look great to me..I just rub mine and put sauce on the side..sauce doesn't like me. Love using the hooks too. Good job. I forget what temp I pulled them. I did the wiggle thing.  Pam  .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

160 is the min temp for pork (from what I remember). I think the ribs came out a little on the dry side so pulling them sooner would have been better I think.

This last weekend I tried the TMB method for my ribs as well since this was my first batch of ribs in the SRG.  I did learn a few things that I would change for next time.  The flavor was insane but they did not fall off the bone like I am used to.  They were still tender though and the bark on them was awesome.

1. I ran mine for 35 min with Pecan smoke on high.  I think I might do it next time with them on low with smoke.  I feel like they may have gotten a bit too cooked on high.  Same with the Foil wrap.  Will extend cooking time on Low in foil.

2. I was so excited to do the ribs that I forgot to hang them on hooks and instead laid them flat on the two rungs about mid level.  I realize my mistake when the ends where more done than the middle.  Pretty dry.  I will be buying the burger holder to keep the ribs upright and more in the middle for an even cook.  The middle ribs were outstanding.

I do have a question for TMB.  When you wrap in foil, do you place them flat or back in the burger rack?

TMB, thank you for helping so many of us newbies get started with the SRG.  Hmmm, what to cook next?

I have done them both ways,  If you trim the first few ribs (small end) they will fit in a burger basket without  any problem, then you can wrap in foil place them in the burger basket OR wrap real good and stand them up in the round basket leaning against the side of the basket.  I have found both ways work well, it's up to you on what works best.

Glad you enjoyed them

Thanks TMB.  I will give that a shot.  One thing I have realized right away and that is keeping notes of what I am doing.  I have actually found in the much more successes than no with the SRG that it's easier to identify what to do or change as compared to when I grill.

All Hail The Infrared.
