Smoked/roasted two spatchcocked chickens and a couple of pounds of pork sausage today on my grandpaw’s old bbq pit. They came out fantastic. I’d like to think he was looking down on me smiling.

I was so busy helping mom get everything ready I didn’t get any pictures either.

How long did those chucks take to reach temp & at what temp did you pull them?

I'm learning that my smoker doesn't give me the most reliable temp indicators which is why I'll use the Signals for longer cooks or those where I want to keep a close eye on temps.  For this cook I ran it on the "smoke" equivalent setting for at least the first six hours.  The grill typically indicates something in the 180-200 range, but the sensor I put in the middle of the grill was showing ~225-250 on average.  The middle does cook warmer than the grates on either side.  I pull and wrap around 160 and cooked these to 208 as an experiment.  Next time I will pull them sooner or maybe reduce temp to hold them around 200 for longer.  These came out a little less moist than I think they could have been and one of them wanted to shred more than slice, but that's mostly nitpicking.  Both are perfectly edible.

This is the graph from the cook. Total time was 10-11 hours, but I probably extended that by an hour or more running them super low to start.

Interesting that a beef cut took that long. Other than a brisket, I wouldn’t even think a chuck roast would need 10 hours on the rack. I suppose there is some break down of tissues that needs to happen at the higher temp much like a pork butt.
I have family coming over on Friday and thought about doing a smoked chuck but I”lol have to think about something else as I don’t have that kind of time with my stick burner.

For beef, London Broil smokes up pretty nice on short notice since you're only cooking to the 125-130 range unless you're a communist sympathizer.

We’re getting together for my son’s wedding. I might have 20 peeps over and my much older brother & I are going to decide what to prepare. I’d love to smoke something but don’t have the time to commit to a long smoke so it’s either a couple of beef loins or maybe pork lions. Sushi is another option to have delivered.
My tender lions come out fantastic.

IMHO the 2/2/1 @ 225 > 225 uncovered = 2/1/.5 @ 300.  This method just gets them done quicker.  I can sleep in and still have the ribs ready for lunchtime.

2/2/1ish - best results

225 uncovered - good but I constantly have to spritz them while cooking

2/1/.5 - 90% as good as 2/2/1 but finishes much sooner.

Makes sense.  I think the last set I did at 200 for 3-4 (or until it hit ~160), wrapped and back on at 250 for about another 2 (or until it broke 200), unwrapped and hit with a bit of sauce until it tacked up.  I go by temp and feel more than time, but the times are in the ballpark.

Understand

I go by visual inspection - meat pulls back from bone & rack bends.

2/2/1 & uncovered are done when they are done.  When I use 2/1/.5 it is almost always spot on for time.

Yup. The baby back ribs I get are inconsistent. One time they might be thick, next time not so much. Gotta pass on some of them. 3 hours smoke low and then wrapped at 300°. About 4.5 to 5 hrs start to finish. Faster than butt or brisket fer sure. Doing fajitas today. It is storming and will be raining all day. Muh gas grill saves the day.

I've tried several different ways and like most of them.

Low & slow @ 225 uncovered
2/2/1 @ 225 & 3/1/1 @ 225 <--- I much prefer the latter version.
100 minutes at 350 (aka Turbo Ribs) <-- I did not like this method.
2/1/1 @ 300 <--   This will be my go to method most of the time from now on.

I had 5 ribs for lunch and the rest are in the cooler resting.

Edit: Extras/leftovers cut and ready for vacuum sealing.

how do you like to reheat your ribs?

I often use sous vide to reheat frozen stuff that might otherwise dry out, thinking that might work well for ribs.

Spareribs turned out good.  Definitely moist and seemed to have quite a bit of additional smokiness.  That being said, I'm not certain that method is really necessary to ensure moist spareribs.  I recommend that you give it a try.  Lard is cheap being $1.42/16 oz can @ Walmart.

I'm looking forward to trying that method on baby back ribs.  The smoked lard should really help keep the lean white meat on the BBs from drying out.

Sous vide sounds like an excellent way to reheat them.  

I usually pull the ribs out of the freezer and let them thaw.  I then ...
- put them on a cookie sheet and broil them @ 400° w/BBQ sauce.  This heats up the ribs and caramelizes the BBQ sauce.
- wrap them tightly in tin foil and heat in the oven @ 400° with meat side down, no sauce.
- slice the corner of the vacuum sealed pouch and microwave, meat side down, until warm.  Keep the hole from slicing small and it will keep the bag from bursting but still retain most of the moisture.

I'm looking forward to trying that method on baby back ribs.  The smoked lard should really help keep the lean white meat on the BBs from drying out.

Thanks, I may do that.  day is going to be busy so I might be forced to pivot to using whatever I have on hand (got no lard in the house right now).

- wrap them tightly in tin foil and heat in the oven @ 400° with meat side down, no sauce.
- slice the corner of the vacuum sealed pouch and microwave, meat side down, until warm.  Keep the hole from slicing small and it will keep the bag from bursting but still retain most of the moisture.

gotcha, okay.  I've done the foil method before with success.  It's how I reheat pulled pork over a fire (good car camping food).  Pro tip on the meat side down, good call.

Microwave method is interesting, never tried that before!

I vacuum seal everything and sous vide is great for reheating certain things, particularly anything that tends to dry out the 2nd time.  Pulled pork, lasagna squares, packs of meatballs, sauces, you name it.  I'm using it tonight to reheat gumbo.

I don't use sugar on my meats so I can't help you out there.

Pork is crazy cheap right now.  Butts regularly 99¢/lb.  Spareribs $1.69/lb last week at WD.  Publix had their spiral sliced ham for 99¢/lb.  I've smoked, cooked and ate so much pork, I'm tired of it right now.  All except bacon as I never tire of bacon.

I usually use a sugar based BBQ sauce, so there is that. Thinking of skipping it and using a light glaze though.

Give it a go.  Doubt it will be anything but good.  It's fun to try different methods.

Try Jalepeno Jelly as a glaze.  I use it a lot for ribs.

ETA these are glazed with Jalepeno jelly
