First spares on the kettle

bbqmike_ny · Oct 6, 2013

Wow, most work I've had to do so far to maintain temp! I think I ended up with too much coal, and since I blocked off the open area of the bottom with bricks, the ash would hinder my airflow. They came really good even with the rollercoaster temps.

Looks good to me. You have to catch the temperature on its way up using the bottom vents.

Cook time for anyone interested was 4 hours 15 min, I did 30 mins in foil at the end, followed by 15 back out and glazed. Average temp was around 270, but it spent some time around 240, and some above 300, lol.

If you were able to maintain your temps within a 30* range, you done good Mike! 30* range is great on a non sealed cooker and will not ruin your cook in any way as proved by your outcome.

Those look great. :thumb:

I like doing ribs on my kettles, but I find I have to fiddle with them a lot to get the temps right. It's a labor of love, for sure.
