Hi dear friends,
This evening I decided to try my first 3-2-1 Ribs with my Q1400, and the result was very very good.
First, after trimming my ribs, I covered them with a little bit of mustard and Magic Dust Rub.
One night in the fridge and then I prepared my barbecue to grill:
Then I prepared the Apple wood Chips:
And then I started phase n°1 with my Ikea Rib Rack on the grill and the wooden chips under the grill:
This phase was grilled all between level 1 and level 2, my thermometer read between 95°C and 125°.
Now I have the first question:
During this phase I encountered a little problem. My smoking chips, after 3 heating cycles, started burning. The wooden chips were in flames, so I decided to took them away with a clamp and I extinguished fire in a basin full of water. This happened two times.
Now, I don't know if this is a normal thing or it is my fault. I know that my Q1400 is near a window were the wind blows through the barbecue. This could be one cause. The other cause it's because I'm afraid of smoking too much and when it started smoking I started to ventilate it with a plate to let the smoke go away. Do you think it's better not to do it? Why did the wooden chips started burning?
Ok, after my problems, I started phase n°2 after 3 hours of the first phase.
I put my ribs in a roasting pan filled with apple juice and apple winegar 2:1 and cooked them for two hours at 110°.
This was after phase 1, and then the ribs in the pan:
After two hours, I removed the ribs from the pan and grilled them directly on my Q1400 at 120° for 1 hour with the lid closed.
Before the last 30minutes I covered them with Barbecue Sauce.
And this is my result. Accidentally, I took this photo with a wrong light, so the crust seems to be black. Indeed it was coloured of a very good bordeaux crust.
Now, opinions:
In my opinion they were very good. The meat was very soft and juicy, perfectly served with a red beer (sorry, german friends, it was an English one
)
After the firs bite, I added a little bit of salt. In my opinion they lacked a little bit of salt.
My girlfriend says they were perfect.
What do you think about my first ribs?
Can you solve my little flaming problem?
Byebye!

not with a toothstick...
but I think the holes were too big, a pen's diameter is too much.
