I'm sitting here eating a bowl of pulled pork for lunch with 2 Brothers vinegar styled sauce.
That's the best store bought vinegar based stuff I've ever had...I love it.
Re: Tried the 3-2-1 method and.......
I agree with you Joe (and DJ), I foiled once and they were very mushy. I guess some folks have experimented with it enough to get it to their mushiness level...but I want a bit more of a bite to the ribs.
Never had that problem.
But anyway, when I cook slow, I light the fire and get it stabilized at the low-n-slow temp for about 2 hours. When I cook hot, it takes it at least 20 mins to get to the hot temp anyways. So maybe I've just avoided the issue all together
I cooked a 23 lb turkey Christmas for about 7 hours at about 325. 2 hours after taking the turkey out it was still about 275. It holds the temps good.
With my other ceramic cooker I learned to approach the desired temp slowing from the bottom, because if I let it get away and get to high...yes, it took awhile to come back down. Nothing like a metal that will drop quickly. But you learn that too and it becomes a plus, not a negative.
The outside will definately heat up on longer cooks, similar to the mexi-K. But even a 7 hr cook at 325 and you can touch it without burning your hand...but you still don't wanna hold your hand on it long.
