Beef Shortribs on the Workhorse Pits 1969

This is my 1st long cook on the Workhorse Pits 1969 smoker.
I purchased the short ribs from Costco to try something new and they turned out very good.
The pit performed flawlessly holding temperature.
This is still a big learning curve ( both with the smoker and the videos ! and yes my wife has said I need to smile more !! )

Lovely stuff, Fella! I've cooked a load of Costco BSR's and every single one has been superb. That is a beautiful looking cooker as well :)

I'm waiting for my stick. burner to be built by Midwest here in the UK so very keen to learn! Please tell me what the pan of tallow is for. Thanks. Lovely pit!

[@stonesbbq]

I bet you cannot wait ! I use some of the rendered Tallow to pour over the finished ribs

@@stonesbbq - Doh! I was really overthinking it! Talk about bleeding obvious!! I've been using charcoal and pellet grills for forty years but really need to step up. I looked at the Workhorse pits but decided to buy one made in the UK. The Midwest ones look very good! Thanks for all your great KZbin videos!!

@@davidbondy8340 🤣. I am sure you will love your pit . More work than pellet or charcoal but better results in my opinion. Thank you for watching , I appreciate it !

Nice video! A quick question... I'm taking delivery of a 1969 sometime in December (hopefully) and I'm curious as to the length of split that you've found optimal to work in the 1969. I have some hickory to cut and I wanted to cut it to the proper length. Thanks for your reply,

[@stonesbbq]

Hi Randy , thank you. The splits I have generally been using have been around 10" long and these seem to work really well. I have tried longer splits and these also work well but 10" sits really well in the firebox. You will love the 1969 ....

[@randyhogan3071]

@@stonesbbq I appreciate the response! I'm very excited to the 1969

[@rupman27isback]

@@randyhogan3071 I'm getting one too.. what are your thoughts on the 1969?

[@rupman27isback]

Looks really good!! Any cons you have with the 1969? BTW next time you should of taken a bite out of one of the ribs and showed us your reaction on how they tasted :)

[@stonesbbq]

Thank you . I really don’t have any cons with the 1969 . It cooks perfectly and holds plenty enough for me . Next time I make some I will do the taste test !! I do put photos up on my Instagram also which may show different images . I am @stonesbarbecue .

[@rupman27isback]

@@stonesbbq Good to hear there's no cons. But would you say this grill can cook the best bbq you've ever had? Like Texas style?

[@stonesbbq]

@@rupman27isback Good question ... I would say that this offset can cook better than I can . It cooks better than any other BBQ I have owned ( for various reasons ). On any offset it is all about fire management and Workhorse pits or Primitive Pits cook extremely evenly across the grates.

[@rupman27isback]

@@stonesbbq glad to hear. thanks again.

[@rupman27isback]

@@stonesbbq One last question.. I keep hearing people complaining that the 75 needs a counter weight for the lid.. How heavy and annoying is the weight of the lid of the 69? Is it necessary to have it? Appreciate it.

[@Brandon-uo1rv]

Do you wish you had gotten the 75 or you happy with the size of the 69? You feel like you tend to burn stuff on it?

[@stonesbbq]

Morning . I’m definitely happy with the 69 and as I get to know the smoker better I don’t tend to burn things on it .

[@rupman27isback]

Great question. I also want the 1969 but don't want to make the wrong choice. The 1975 just looks too big for me as well... and obviously a lot more expensive
