kad1979 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Posted July 14, 2012 After traveling for darn near a month straight it was good to get back to my KK. Lazy Saturday afternoon cooking a difficult piece of meat. Got short ribs in the rack on the KK, 3 full length bones totaling about 5 pounds. Keeping her right around 215. They have been cooking for about 3:30 and the meat is sitting at 150. Can't wait to see how they turn out.
kad1979 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Posted July 15, 2012 Re: Rack of short ribs... Needless to say the KK came through once again! Epic stuff. Not an easy piece of meat and it came out flawless. Think moist (fatty brisket). Hence the short plate is just behind the brisket but I must say this had moist brisket written all over it with a bit more moisture... Cannot wait to do these again. Plus the tri color potato salad was rockin'!
Loquitur Posted July 15, 2012 Report Posted July 15, 2012 Re: Rack of short ribs... Great looking cook!!! So what temp did you bring them to and roughly how long did it take? Susan
bryan Posted July 15, 2012 Report Posted July 15, 2012 Re: Rack of short ribs... Great looking ribs. Looking at your pic's I suggest you use the small hole (on right side of body) to insert the temp probes. Lid in time will cause problems closing on wires. Great cook.
Smoke Posted July 15, 2012 Report Posted July 15, 2012 Re: Rack of short ribs... Great looking meal! I've had great success with all my KK cooks, except for ribs. Same questions as Susan: temperature and cook time? Would enjoy hearing your suggestions. Thanks for your help. Dana
kad1979 Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Posted July 16, 2012 Re: Rack of short ribs... Susan and Dana, I took the meat to 190, again much like a brisket. Cooking at 225 it took just shy of 6 hours...I had a pretty lengthy stall at 160 degrees.
kad1979 Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Posted July 16, 2012 Re: Rack of short ribs... BTW, I have also done a few racks of pork baby backs and also have not had great results. These ribs were a different story tho, one of the better things I have cooked in a long time.
Smoke Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 Re: Rack of short ribs... Thanks a bunch; will give it a whirl. Dana
kad1979 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Report Posted August 13, 2012 Re: Rack of short ribs... I did another rack of the dino bones (short rib) this weekend and they turned out as good if not better then the first time around. Just coarse salt and coarse pepper again. This rack was a bit heavier then the last and opted for a little lower temp. I cooked them at 215 for about 8 hours. Once again I had a lengthy stall (1.5 hours) just north of 160. If you haven't cooked this cut of beef I highly recommend it! If you like brisket you will love these!
