Help with Beef ribs please

[Slimpicker]

Yep, I'm tryin to figure out how to get a sous vide machine an the moment.

"Honey, look what I WON on the forums for being the best cook last month!!!"

Oh, and don’t mistake the Thermoworks Thermapen MK4 for the Thermopro....

YEAH, like I did...

My wife wouldn’t buy that...lol
She handles all the finances, so I can’t spend a cent without her knowing about it...

I almost did the same thing

Everytime something comes in a box to the house(even if it's not addressed to me) she asks " what did you buy now".

I got a Thermopro, I use it to monitor my offset.

I think he means the instant... I can open my instant right now and it might say 95°, it's so messed up I didn't even wanna waste a battery on it.

What were you using as a meat probe?

We’re you using anything to verify ambient temp?

Verify the meat probe and the ambient probe will make you a way happier camper..

just ask me. It really make things easier!

Yep, I'm tryin to figure out how to get a sous vide machine an the moment.

One of the first things I made was pulled pork. We reheated in the microwave the next day and the wife said the microwave ruined a great pulled pork.

“Well honey, there’s a better way to reheat...”.

it became HER idea to get a sous vide at that very moment!

IMO, the pit temp isn’t as critical (as long as it’s reasonably close). But the meat probe needs to be spot on. And then you need to double check with the Thermapen, because your meat probe might not be in the perfect spot

If you don't feel like messing with all the wires involved with the firebird just get a Meater. I have found it extremely accurate for meat temperature and has made me a better cook. Perfect temp every time without having to poke, prod, or cut open whatever I'm cooking. It does measure ambient temperature also but not sure how accurate that is.

Hi,
I mean the ambient temp, ie I cooked them at around 100-110 dec C (grill temp) until Traeger meat probe temp indicated 70 deg C internal (approx 4 hours). I then removed and wrapped and put them back at a similar temp of 110-130 deg C until internal temp indicated 95 deg C. I then removed and rested for 45 minutes.
I agree that chewy will often mean undercooked but if I keep them cooking past 95 deg C internal won’t that overcook them?

Unfortunately as stated elsewhere the traeger probes are crap and more than likely the source of your issues, you will need a third party temp monitoring system to get the correct grill temp and meat IT temp. I use a Fireboard but they are very pricey on this side of the pond with exchange rates etc. Also I don't bother wrapping Beef ribs and get excellent results.

I’ve got about $350.00 in my FireBoard 2 and another 300 in Thermapens. Think I’ll just stick with those.

It looks like you need another fireboard.
