OK, here's my Qview #1..

[andywhite]

Sometimes I like to smoke on the Weber grill, like if it's about to rain, or I'm cooking a very small quantity.

 

[andywhite]

Ten boneless beef ribs, marinated overnight, and injected with same marinade..

 

[andywhite]

I'd drilled a 3/4" hole in the Weber lid to keep an eye on the temp. Know your smoker, I guess: I have to put the temp at 300 degrees at the thermometer to get 250 degrees at grill level..

 

[andywhite]

A couple potatoes on the side. There's leftover marinade in the pan..

Cross-section of the finished rib..

Looking good so far. What kind of wood are you treating those ribs to?

Now for a home-made bbq sauce / glaze..

 

[andywhite]

After the glaze, I put the ribs directly over the fire for a little crisping..

nice job,

the Weber kettle can do a fine job smoking as you just proved.

Actually a head to head smoke of some chicken wings on a gasser, and some done on a Weber Kettle convinced me to get rid of the gasser and go back to a charcoal smoker.

 

[andywhite]

Then flip 'em over and do the other side..

 

[andywhite]

"Ta-daaaa!" Dinner for two..!

 

[andywhite]

And while I was smoking the ribs, I messed around with a new (to me) bourbon baked-bean recipe in a small Dutch oven..

looks like you have the qview basic down just fine. i like to smoke from my weber ocaisionally too.

you can put the pictures and comments all in one post by the way...

[andywhite]

Hi, Placebo,

I had a couple chunks of pecan handy, so I used them.

 

[andywhite]

Thanks, chisoxjim! It was fun making the Weber work as a smoker!

 

[andywhite]

Tanks, erain!

They were on sale at a new store around D/FW, called Aldi's.

I've never tried smoking beef ribs, bone-in. They look a bit more difficult than pork ribs.

These ribs were surprisingly tender to start with.

I'll remember the gang-picture posting next time. Thanks again!

 

[erain]

Hmmmm, we have one of those Aldis stores here too, i never been there. heard they charge a quarter or something for a shopping cart to use... i may have to stop in and ck them out. Any chance on that bean recipie??? look great!!!

 

[andywhite]

My pleasure, erain!

Soaked a bag of red kidney beans and a bag of black beans overnight.

Boiled 'em until soft.

Put 'em in the D.O. with:

A cup or two of homemade bbq sauce,
a whole white onion, chopped,
a whole green pepper, chopped,
a cup of dark brown sugar,
couple teaspoons dry mustard powder,
2 bay leaves,
5 strips of thick bacon, cut up. (Raw: they cook in the D.O.)
4 tablespoons molasses,
1/3 cup of bourbon (yum, yum!)
salt and black pepper to taste.

Cooked in D.O. placed in regular oven at 250 for about six hours.

Enjoy!
