Smokenator Babybacks

***SAD NEWS, DON THOMPSON, INVENTOR OF THE SMOKENATOR, PASSED AWAY ON AUGUST 8th, 2009. THIS VIDEO IS DEDICATED TO HIS MEMORY.***


This is the ultimate "low-n-slow", and is as indirect as you can get without actually using a bullet smoker! We slow Q'd these babybacks for almost 6 hours, and the result was well worth the wait! I had a bit of a struggle trying to get 1 half slab out of the rib rack...It kept wanting to fall apart! Really tender & moist. We used a Chinese char siu rub on one rack, hence, the bright red color.

Looks like you did a great job and the ribs look great. My ribs were taking about 6 hours using a smokenator which is a long time for ribs even while doing it low and slow. I called Don who makes the smokenator and he said that the dome temp is 30 % hotter than the grate temp so you ribs were actually cooking at 180 which accounts for the 6 hours - again the ribs look fantastic

@tenphasesgmail The Smokenator is great for a long low n slow! I always plan on at least 6 hours when using it! Gonna do a brisket this summer (finally). That might take 12 hours or so, but that's half the fun!

P.S. If you are using brickets...? do a little research brickets are full of chemicals. :( I'd say those are the most expensive Ribs ever made. Got to be worth more than anything any lawyer has ever done. So let's say $3000 an hr x6 = $18,000 divided by 4 racks that comes to $4500 a rack. YUM :)

...Which is why we served these ribs with caviar! (Just joking).

$3,000 an hour for a lawyer these days?!!? YIKES!!!

Cool video. You are very dedicated to take so long to perfect the meat like this. 5 stars.

[SmokeyGoodness]

6 hours to cook, about 30 to devour! Lovin' every minute of it! Thanks for all the stars!

I wish you hadn't uploaded the damn music. At points I can't hear shit of what you are saying. It fucked up the whole video for me. Wasn't worth the effort watch. To bad for me. It really looked like you had a lot of good to say and teach.

@hernanx3 $4.5k is still so much less than the 2 cartons a day you smoke. :-)
