  • The best versions of these massive Texas-style smoked beef ribs have a dark, peppery crust and a pink smoke ring surrounding succulently tender beef. We were inspired to create our own recipe in the test kitchen after trying them at Desert Oak Barbecue in El Paso, Texas.

    Made a 7lb 3 bone plate beef ribs today using this method and it works. Mind the gap and dont open the lid. We can confirn the briquettes stayed lit. Thank you Cooks Country and Bryan.

    Beef ribs are amazing. Definitely need a nap after though!
    This snake method is right on. Can pretty much smoke anything in a kettle doing it this way.

      Snake charcoals need to be pre burnt, or else you add impurities to your food and the flavour suffers, bigtime.

      Definitely gonna get some white smoke from fresh coals no doubt, but I've smoked in both a kettle with snake method and in my WSM with pre-lit coals and I find the difference in taste to be negligible.

    Good woman, right there! I rescued the exact same type Weber that someone abandoned in the mountains (a Smokey Joe). It was missing its grates, but that was an easy fix. I keep it at home for small cooks. It's what I learned how to BBQ on. It does a fantastic job and holds temperature amazingly well. Later, I also rescued a full size OG Weber 30" kettle that someone abandoned in a mini storage facility. I use that for full size cooks like ribs. Drilling a hole and adding a good thermometer in the lid is a must...make sure it's on the side of the lid that has the vent on it, as this is the side of the lid you position over the meat (coals on the opposite side of the grill). Learn caveman style on a Weber first. It's totally worth the time you spend understanding the craft.

      @SolixTanaka 2 месяца назад +2

      I have a slow 'n sear and it does not perform the same function as a charcoal snake. You won't get 6hrs of unattended, consistent 200 degree heat from the slow 'n sear. The slow 'n sear is best at two-zone cooking. The snake is miles easier and more consistent, all without having to buy anything.

      @@dchenkin02One thing I’ve learned about bbq in Texas is that very few things are standard. I smoke all my meats at 225, but I have friends who make great brisket at 325. I learned years ago that maybe the most important step in good bbq is the rest time. If you’re resting less than an hour you’re not serving the best bbq. Four to eight hours is even better.

  • @witherbossbros1157
    @witherbossbros1157 2 месяца назад

    Charcoal snakes are a bad approach because a variety of woods are used in making charcoal and those woods turn out to be whatever the sawmill is cutting that day - including sappy woods. This is why lighting coals with chimneys is done and the coals are not utilized until they are red hot and the unheated wood fragments that would normally smoke are destroyed (no more smoke). You should do some research on how charcoal is made in order to understand the problem.

    That is the thing about BBQ, you have to work your butt off and if you do everything perfectly you end up with something that is just okay especially when you compare it to other dishes/cuisines that are so much more tasty and way easier to make. If you want beef ribs find a nice French Bistro and get some short ribs served with polenta and haricot verts

      I don’t agree that those are definitively better ways to have beef. It really depends on what I want. Sometimes I like a beautiful braised beef bourgignon. Sometimes I want a nice juicy smokey Texas style brisket. They’re too different for me to say one is better than the other. Well executed BBQ is not “just okay”. It’s a worthy cuisine that stands just as well with any established European style.

      Factor in time and the material cost too. Most proper bbq places cook with strictly wood and don't use charcoal. Add in that you have to staff essentially 24/7 to make sure the smokers stay running and costs add up very quickly.

    Ridiculously complicated. No one in Central Texas would do this "snake" thing. I know, I've lived in Austin 50 years and this is my first exposure to it and I laughed, and so did my GF. I suppose it keeps the entire unit from getting too hot, then the fat that renders out into the water pan catches fire and the lid blows off. It happens. C'est la vie.
