MadMedik Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 I recently posted about getting a rib rack from Dennis. I got it within a few days and yesterday was my first use of the rib rack. I cooked 9 slabs of St Louis style pork ribs for everyone at work. I fed about 16 people, and still had about 3 slabs left over for take home. We had chili beans and italian green beans to go with the Ribs. Below are 2 pictures. First is 8 slabs of ribs fitting perfectly in the Rack I got from Dennis. Since my Costco Ribs were 3 packs, I had 9 slabs i needed to cook. It took the upper 'add on' grill from Dennis, and it just barely fit on top of the Rib rack. I put the 9th slab on top of this rack. n68477 n68478 Results were very good. I cooked at 250-270 degrees for 4 hours and 15 minutes. It was time to eat so i took them off. Absolutely done and cooked, but i think another hour may have allowed them to come off the bone a bit better. I used Mesquite and Frontier Lump, about 50/50, and ended up with a pretty smokey flavored cook. I have decided I don't particularly enjoy the mesquite flavor on PORK, but do like it on Beef. These ribs were enjoyed by everyone, but i will not use the mesquite next time. Just a personal preference. Also, since they not lay flat on the grill, I lost out on any semblance of "charred/burnt" edges that normally occur with ribs and grilling. I sort of missed that. Perhaps next time i would try to sear them at the end to get some burnt edges...again, i ran out of time so i did not attempt this on this cook. For large quantities of Ribs on the KK, this was a great tool to have. If i am going to cook 2 or 3 slabs I would lay flat on grill and not use the Rack. Perhaps if i wanted 4 or 5 slabs, i would alternate "slots on the rack' to allow more heat and air flow between the racks...(spread them out over the rack). Overall a good cook. Very moist and tender. If you are considering a Rib Rack then I would recommend Dennis' rack. It is very nice quality and fits the grill nicely. Have a great day!

EGGARY Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Re: My New Rib Rack and Cook for Work Nice cook. How long of a cook was it with 9 racks ? Last thing I need is another accessory. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
