Thank you Mark! ummm, not being anywhere near it at the moment, i believe it is 10"... and i really only used it because it was still on the grill from a previous cook. All the other High Heat Baby Back rib cooks i've done were without the extension.Great looking ribs, and you always seem to have good veggie sides. Nice.
About the extension used - how tall is it, was that to keep the ribs a bit further away from the briqs ?
Thank you Rich. I'm not sure if using an extension is advantageous or not... i tend to think not.Ribs look great Jim, I do the HH ribs a lot now but without an extension ring. What's the advantage of using the extension?
Hi Bob! and thank you! Again, i believe there is no advantage using the extension.Those ribs and the sides look amazing. Haven't tried the HH method but will put it on the list. I also am wondering about the advantages of using an extension ring for the cook. Is it the same ring as the roti ring? Keep posting those great cooks.
Hi Timothy, thanks to you too! Umm, Brussels sprouts with sauteéd onions... not much to tell....I like the idea of increasing height from source, very ingenious.
Tell me about the sprouts, the fingerlings look pretty nice too!
Hi John, Thanks! No extra wood, just one large split of fresh applewood... it smelled wonderful too! and the recipe for the Brussels sprouts is:Great cook Jim - that smoke ring is perfection itself! I am amazed that you got it in that short amount of time. Did you use extra smoke wood? How a bout a recipe for the 'sprouts sir?
Regards,
John
Yup Dustin, prices do go up from time to time...I've been toying with getting that expansion ring along with the charcoal ring and heat diffuser but it looks like cajun bandit recently jacked up their prices on everything with the updated web site.
Yes, Felix, high heat for baby backs and low and slow for spare ribs.I myself prefer HH when doing ribs....it's the only way for me. I only do slow and low ribs when friends come over...
More high heat blasphemy! I lasted years as a low 'n slow purist. Foiling (Texas crutch) was cheating and not for me. Then I started cooking my butts at 250+ instead of 225 and my fall began. I lost my virginity when I cooked my first HH brisket. I felt so ashamed. Thanksgiving, I cooked a 16lb brisket in 7 hours (+1 hour for the burnt ends). Everybody raved and I no longer felt the shame. Now, I'm thinking about HH ribs? God help me!
