My new range oven and amazingly for the UK (I think) three ovens go down to 60c/140f so cannot wait to cook my beef ribs like this at the weekend. One thing I love about this method is that, while you have got to start the cook earlier, you don't have to worry bout cooking them overnight to getting up t stupid o'clock to avoid the the whole "I hope they cook and rest in time".

[@draskuul]

I got a Vollrath full pan warmer a while back for about $200 (and easily spent that much on some various steam pans to get maximum versatility out of it). It holds 150 pretty damned well, maybe a 5 degree variance. I've used it for a couple briskets so far plus just as a warmer for a bunch of other stuff and works great. I had already planned on doing the same next time I did beef ribs. Too bad they're running $50+ for a 4-bone rack here lately.

[@SmokeTrailsBBQ]

I know a guy that got the same one, I hear good things.

[@ryanlowe471]

Great vid. FYI that’s a chuck short rib aka a 4-bone. Plate short ribs are from the plate of the cow and have only 3 bones. 7 bones total of short rib on the animal per side, so 14 really…

[@sucktdeep]

Which store do you buy your meats from ?

[@kh4lifa268]

Amazing videos as always ! I have a quick question , did you let the ribs temperature decrease below 190 before the long hold? I know that even though that you pull between 185-190 there is still going to be a carry over of 5-10 degrees

[@SmokeTrailsBBQ]

I don't. If I was going up to 195 200+ I would though

[@christopherk3610]

Everyone keeps asking how to make the sous vide holding chest. Smoke Trails has a very short video that shows the process. I was able to make one just by going off what he did/said in the video. I opted to use a cooler instead of a freezer chest. It's just the right size to fit a brisket and it doesn't take up much space storing it in my closet. It holds temps very accurately (hardly ever goes +/- 0.5 degrees) , usually holds temps dead on 150 the entire resting period. It's pretty simple to make, the hardest part is getting over the fear of cutting the hole. What I suggest is measure the sous vide multiple times before cutting. I wanted the bottom of my sous vide to sit about 1/2 to1 inch from the bottom of the cooler. I also cut the hole with a hole saw at an angle so the sous vide would fit properly. I then got some marine glue as Smoke Trails suggested and glued the sous vide in place after the cut hole was to my liking. I waited a day for the glue to dry and it was done. Here's what I decided to use: - cooler: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AU6GB2K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1 - sous vide: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WQ4M5TS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 A few tips: - start with a hole saw smaller than the actual size of the hole you think you'll need. You can widen the hole a little bigger with a Dremel tool if need be. - add warm/hot water to the holding unit at the beginning of the rest, so that way you'll be saving time cause the sous vide doesn't have to work hard to get the water up to temp (I know common sense, but after a few beers during a long cook the smaller details sometimes gets overlooked). Thank you Smoke Trails for sharing all your knowledge. I'm going to sign up for your beef rub! Happy smoking everyone!

[@SaiyaDad9000]

On Easter (well day before) I offset smoked brisket, pulled pork, whole chicken and held them all overnight in my electric smoker at 150 and they were all perfectly cooked, juicy, and tender. I wonder if pork ribs would hold up? I was surprised chicken did. I waited until I was ready to serve before I pulled the pork, sliced the brisket, and shredded the chicken. We made a variety of tacos to make it easier than making a bunch of sides.

[@SaL-ep7zb]

Do you recommend using the long hold method on 170F ? My electric stove's lowest temp is 170 and I'm wondering if maybe I can use that temp and maybe decreasing hold time to maybe 8-10hrs? Or do thinl it can dry and ruin the meat?

[@John-bg8hq]

Aren’t BBQ places just setting their holders air temp to 140-150F for long holds and not measuring a pan of water inside the holder to be 140-150? Wouldn’t their internal temp of meats be different than air temp?

[@SmokeTrailsBBQ]

Yes but their holding ovens are much better at holding temps than an oven.

[@HungryFreelancer]

For holding on the oven, would you say doing the MEATER probe in the water pan is something I need to do every time? Or is it just a tool to find out what my oven ACTUALLY holds at, and once I’ve calibrated correctly, I don’t need to do it for ongoing cooks?

[@SmokeTrailsBBQ]

I do basically this except that I wrap arout 175 (when I have good bark) and then go to 190F internal. Then proceed to do the long hold. Makes for a cook that finishes in 7-8 hour verry consistently. been doing that ever since you posted that brisket long hold video.

Bison is too lean. Most cuts of long smokes involve meats with high fat content. I was once sent a case of bison ribs by mistake, I smoked some when I was doing beef bbq, everyone prefered the beef.

Ask Mr Franklin if they would carve that fat out. Didn’t catch the new method for smoking them.

[@CoolJay77]

Franklin has a video that you can find, he leaves the fat cap on, such as many BBQ joints do, and he does not trim any fat that lies inside the rib. The problem with not trimming the fat cap, is that some sections might have leathery thick silver skin just under the fat cap that is not appetizing. In a home environment, we can invest the extra time to locate those areas and trim the fat and silver skin. In areas that there is not thick silver skin, l would leave a 1/4" fat cap on.

Good morning from sunny south Florida. I started out this morning with 2 prime rib racks to smoke on the Webber kettle with the smoke ring and hickory chunks method. I soon discovered that I couldn't adjust the bottom vent and the temperature went to 500° relatively quickly. I closed the top vent completely but it was too late to stop the temp train. I just created a plan B and figured I'd let it ride until the bark formed and or internal temp got to 180°. The cooking temp stayed at 500° the entire time. It took 2 hrs to accomplish both. The racks were very juicy with fat rendering at an accelerated rate. Then removed the 2 racks and went to the butcher paper wrap and into the aluminum pan with some water method to go into the oven on warm temp for the hold method. I'm planning on a 6hr hold time to see where it's at. I'll have time to let it hold for an additional 4 hrs if needed. I'm curious if this will create a new hot and fast method. I will report my findings. Curious if you have any experience with this scenario and any advice on the hold timeframe I described. Thanks for your awesome videos!
