ebterrier 81 Report post Posted May 25 Today was the first cook on my grill. First time Kamado owner as well. Done plenty of charcoal grilling but not much low and slow if any experience. Loaded grill with kJ lump. Seasoned 2 racks of St. Louis style pre cut ribs from Costco. Used 2 meat church rubs. One was a pecan something and other was honey bacon bbq. Got the grill grate temp to 250 and the gauge to around 245-250. Pretty steady on both. Had the slo roller in the grill. I didn’t add any wood chunks because first I didn’t have any and second I didn’t want to impart too much smoke right off the bat. Cooked for 2 hours then 3rd hour spritzed water (didn’t haven’t any apple juice) every 20 minutes for an hour. Then let them ride for another hour, then added some sweet baby rays bbq sauce on top for another 30-45 minutes. Tooth pick probe test was on point. They had a good crust or bark to them, came off the bone clean, and didn’t just fall off by them self. When I did do the bend test they were starting to break so you could say the were over tender. I could care less yesterday lol. Also, had about 3 coors lights and 3 local IPA’s . Lol pulled the ribs off and brought up the grill to 450 and grilled some squash. Was a good time.

KismetKamado 4,381 Report post Posted May 27 If that’s what your rookie cook looks like, I can’t wait to see what you pull off once you have a few more cooks under your belt. Really nice job and congratulations on a fine first cook. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CentralTexBBQ 1,274 Report post Posted May 27 well done!!! great first cook. what am I looking at in the 3rd post– are the deflector plates in? if so what is the black plate I'm seeing under the ribs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebterrier 81 Report post Posted May 27 @CentralTexBBQ thanks bud. That is the slow roller that comes with the new grills. So essentially a heat deflector too. @KismetKamado thank you! My whole chickens last night were pretty good too! 4 JeffieBoy, KismetKamado, CentralTexBBQ and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
