Rib Roast on Modded Vermont Castings Cabinet, pron

[JiveTurkey]

Last year I helped my neighbor move and he gave me his propane Vermont Castings pit for free. He maybe used it once, it was super clean inside. The propane didn't work too well for me so I sealed up the side vents and bottom, sealed the door, new temp guage, and made it into a charcoal pit.

Last week I did a competition on it and it wasn't so great for that but for home cookin it's pretty sweet. Stainless steel, double insulated walls, water/no water, it's a good home pit. Tonight for the super bowl I made a rib roast so here's some prono!

Cheers yalls!

Not a bad toy for free

Top vent

I sealed the side vents since they leaked a lot and added ball valves

Inside. Bottom sealed.

Charcoal basket, racks

One rib roast for me and the lady

Rib roast on. Sheet metal to cover the charcoal basket, prevents blast of air when I open the door.

Cruisin at 265. When meat hit 110 I cranked pit to 300 to brown exterior

I pulled at 125, rested, carry over took temp to 135! I think leaving the bones attached while it rested carried the temp a little too high.

Overcooked just a little bit but it was still good eats.

Go Niners! We'll get 'em next year!

Thanks Badger. If carry over had not gone so long I might have posted more pics of the food instead of the pit! Still a fun cook though. Thanks!
