Title: Trying ring of fire method.
Post by: ranier1315 on July 10, 2016, 12:27:47 PM

Anyone use this method for long slow kooks? My grill doesnt holds the heat like the green eggs so I gotta Try something for the low and  slow kooks.

I have not tried that method.  Is that a ceramic grill?  What brand of grill?

Yes its a king griller. The bucket helps keep the line of coals from falling and cross burning. Allowing for a controlled line of burning coals. So far I'm not sure about it. I'm having a hard time reaching 200*. Right now I'm wide open on the bottom and a 2 on the top just now at 180*  if it holds as long s it took to get to temp it should be awesome.

Well I'm pretty happy. 4.5 hours at 200*  this was a test burn and I'm really happy. Now to cook some ribs tomorrow.  3-2-1 method for dinner tomorrow night.  Wish me luck.

3 2 1 method never lets me down


I usually don't leave them wrapped for 2 full hours though..1 to 1.5 If you do, don't put too much liquid in the foil, the ribs can get mushy.

Yes. Or 3-1.5-1.5 if you want to cook them 6 hours

5  hours at 250 and they are cooked and tasty. Many times I have put the ribs on at 250 and just left them in for 5 hours, never opening the grill. Good to go

That last hour, if you sauce your ribs, you can do that then.

They we OK. I think I need some form of mop or I'm actually going to try to wrap for the last hour. The had a tough skin that took away from the meat. I really don't want the pressure cooked fall of the bone type ribs but I did want more tender than I got. The smoker worked flawlessly.

Did you remove the membrane from the back of the ribs?

What could the tough skin be then? Too much direct heat scabbed it?

Not sure. Don't think it was direct heat. Had diffuser and a pan if water between the fire and the ribs. I think just too dry a smoke. I'm going to try the apple juice/apple cider vinegar mop /spray next time. It's supposed to help with this very thing.
