Smoked Ribs And 2 Layer Cooking on the Kamado Joe Jr with the Flame Boss 500

- Today I used the KJ Jr and the Flame Boss 500 to smoke some spare ribs and cook some vegetables.
First I dry-brined the ribs overnight with salt. When I took them out, i put some pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on them.
Next I cooked them at about 225 for 4 hours unwrapped, placing the green vegetables beneath them at the 2 hour mark.
I wrapped the ribs at 4 hours and pulled off the vegetables. After 2 hours wrapped, i unwrapped the ribs, placed the vegetables back underneath, and basted liberally with BBQ sauce. I gave the ribs 45 minutes to finish up.
These were by far the best ribs i have cooked yet. Half the price of baby back, but, at least in my opinion, better than any baby back i have yet cooked!
Just got a KJ Jr. Watched your video "Getting Started with the KJ Jr & Your Opinion" and other videos. I appreciate how you made things so clear. Good job for us newbies.
New sub here! Cool shirt, homie! I’m a Sith as well…my sith name is Darth Strife! Smoke on, my fellow Sith Lord! Lol!
The Kamado Joe Jr videos are helping a lot. Thanks
Hello from Dublin, Ireland. I’m picking up a Joe Junior tomorrow 🙂
6:54 - that face says it all!
Love your videos. Just bought a Kamado Joe Jr and did my first cook last weekend using a load of tips from one of them. Hickory smoked whole chicken. It was amazing, keep going. Love the no frills style.
Thanks man! Really like your “nothing crazy, just using my joe jr in the backyard” video’s :) I got myself a jr a few weeks ago and planning on this double cook technique real soon!
Greetings from the Netherlands!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. These ribs were really really good. I've actually got the other half to the spare rib set on the smoker right now.
Good luck with the cook! If you don't have the flame boss, remember to close your bottom vent to a finger width and the top daisy-wheel to just a crack, with the holes all closed off on the daisy wheel. That'll be about 200-225.
I didn’t catch what temp you were running. Ill run 230 to 260 and there perfect in 3 hours. I do like the the drip tray pie pan for the veggies with the meat basted goodness. Now im going to see what else your up to. I dont have a Joe jr yet but I have a couple other Joes.
Great video 👍🏽
Why do you wrap the ribs? What is the point? What kind of paper did you use?
The ribs are wrapped to push through a period known as "the stall" in smoking meat. Tough meat like ribs need to be cooked to a higher temperature than a T-Bone steak, and when the meat begins to reach the higher temperature an interesting chemical reaction occurs. The liquids in the meat begin to cool the meat in a process known as "Evaporative Cooling". When this occurs, the meat will sit at a constant temperature, no longer cooking, for hours and hours. For big chunks of meat, it can take 5+ hours. For something like ribs, not nearly as long. However, wrapping them helps to stymie the evaporative cooling process, pushing the ribs past the temperature much faster. It's possible there are other reasons I'm not aware of, but this is the most common reason people wrap smoked meat.
The paper is called "butcher paper".
Hey man, we really want some more videos!
Yeah, I've been out of it for a bit. Honestly, I didn't expect so many people to want more videos. I think I'll do one this weekend. :)
Thanks for the video! Just got a junior. What blower do you have that fits on a junior?
The flame boss 500 fits it after some VERY minor modification of one of the intake ports (cutting with a pair of steel cutter scissors).
I'm in the market for a kamado so I really appreciate your videos. Can you tell me if you had to replenish the charcoal for this? How long can you maintain a low temp (225f) without adding more charcoal? I use a bbq guru on my other smokers.
A full basket of KJ brand charcoal will last a LONG time. I'd say maybe 24 straight hours at 225 with mild weather outside (70* or so).
temperatures???
Next I cooked them at about 225 for 4 hours unwrapped, placing the green vegetables beneath them at the 2 hour mark.
Your joe jr stand is on on backwards and it’s bugging me 😂
Noted and fixed for next video. Thanks!
Geezz the camera work here is as bad as in pewdiepies' videos :/
Yeah I think i'm going to use a very simple camera in the future. Been trying to use a fancy one and I think it's just not working out.
