Bought several choice beef rib roasts on sale. Saved & froze one for Christmas dinner. Cut the bones off the other & sliced it into 4 steaks. Froze the steaks.
Coated the bones with bacon grease & gave them a heavy dusting of Oakridge BBQ Black Ops. Put them into the 14.5 over K-Lump and 3 big chunks of mesquite.
The probe for the meat was too close to the bone, so I removed it. The cooker held steady at 260* & figured on a 5 hour cook. Checked the ribs at the 3 hour mark.
They probed tender & registered 208*. Panic.... this wasn't supposed to go this way.
Pulled the ribs, wrapped them in foil & put into the oven at 170*. Had a lot of good coals in the 14.5 that I transferred to the JJ.
Cooked some bacon.
Added it to a pan with fresh green beans, water & vinegar.
About 10 minutes later... had to add about 10 lit briquettes to maintain heat.
Chopped up some baby potatoes, coated them with bacon grease & gave them a good sprinkle of K salt & pepper.
Started frying the potatoes when the green beans were about done.
Time to eat!
I was a little concerned that the ribs would be over-cooked, however they turned out to be the best ever.
They were moist & tender. Was wishing for more.
