    If I can only get these in pre cut bits, what would you recommend cook time for 2 about 6cm thick. I have the 47cm weber and I am sure the thermometer is off. Did lamb yesterday and nearly overcooked it as temp said 150c and even with vents open couldn’t get temp higher. So after 1hr i left it. Decided to Shove a meat thermometer into vent as I was getting nervous and it showed 180/190c. Checked my lamb and it was already 70c internal.

    Sure! I do them pre cut from Costco all the time and they come out great. Try this method instead. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fauImJeYk62riqQ.htmlsi=tr2VSuOJ8MSO-GFd Don't go off the lid thermometer on a Weber especially if it is straight over the fire. If it's offset, at 90 degrees to the fire it's more accurate but not that accurate. I always calibrate with what else is going on and cross reference to see if the temps measured by the thermometer are plausible. Cheers for watching and please let me know how you go. :)

    G'day Brad. It depends on a few more variables but temp spikes by themselves won't make any great impact for the most part.

    G'day Toby. It usually takes around 4 hours but refer to the video for how to check for doneness and don't stop cooking until then. Vent positioning has lots of variables when using charcoal, as it all depends on how much fire you start with, how quick you come up to temps and everything you do in between, so with the vents, I always leave the top open as long as possible and adjust from the bottom and only adjust the top vent, as a last resort. Thanks for watching! Please let us know how you go and take lots of pics, as it'll make it easier to assist in you tweaking things until perfect! :D

    Great vid, and Sophie looked like she really enjoyed it! So you cook until tender (any reference temp?) and then rest until 145F ... most other sources say to wrap them at 160-185F and finish at 200 degrees fahrenheit (about 95C.) Yours looked incredibly good!

  • @pitmasteruniversity

    Thanks for watching! Good question but it’s a common misconception newbies make. I never go off temps, as it often leads people astray because they think that things are perfectly done, which isn’t the care because if that worked, there wouldn’t be all these videos and BBQ groups because you could set your thermometer and timer and everything would be perfect. One other thing that isn’t often taught is the temps for doneness slide up and down based upon the cooking temps, so higher cooking temps will result in higher finishing temps. We always recommend ignoring temperature when making the final test for doneness, which should always be a test of tenderness and if it’s not tender, it doesn’t matter what the temperature is, keep cooking until it’s tender or it’ll be tough. If you’d like a method that includes wrapping try this method but with either, get plate short ribs, which are better than chuck short ribs. Smoked Beef Short Ribs kzread.info/dash/bejne/fauImJeYk62riqQ.html People thinking about things being done at magical temps of 200F / 95C etc have meant that our classes over here have been sold out for 5 years straight with no sign of slowing down, so we love the people that teach that because so many stuff up by relying on temp alone and not using as a rough guide. Tenderness is king over temps and times with things like brisket and beef ribs. :)

    Haha! You’d think so but the pepper grain size and time cooking allows for the pepperiness to mellow throughout the cook. You’ll see a lot of BBQ joints in Texas roll with heavy pepper like this and some do 9 to 1 pepper to salt ratio. You need to get the grain size right though. Too big and it’ll be too peppery, to small and you won’t taste it at all. Get that right and there’ll be no turning back using this amount of pepper.

    About the fall off bone part. I've had a proper pit master tell me that ribs need a 2 bite method, first bite should leave bite marks without falling off the bone and 2nd bite should remove the meat. If it falls off the bone in the first bite they've been on for too long

  • @pitmasteruniversity

    Жыл бұрын

    I can’t say that I’d ever want that to happen, as it would make a mess with a big beef rib and the whole idea is for it to be a meat popsicle and I would want my meat to be on the handle as long as possible but for me to be able to take bites without it all falling off. From the perspective of a former BBQ competition sanctioning body representative and judges instructor, pork ribs are supposed to be able to be bitten into, leave a bite mark and not take the whole meat away from the bone in that bite, so that may be where that comes from but I still wouldn’t be looking for the rest of the meat to come away with the second bite. Different sanctioning bodies and people alike can have differences in opinions as to what’s correct but at the end of the day, personal taste and preference is subjective.
