    Did more baby backs this weekend but I am always disappointed with the lack of meat on these things. Maybe I'm cutting them wrong after or something. If you get one mouthful off a rib you are doing well.

    Think I'll be taking a break from ribs for a while.

    If you have access to Musgraves they have frozen Spanish ribs with lots of meat on them.

    My neighbour said I could borrow his Musgrave account. He works there.
    I am wondering if he will have to pay taxes on my purchases?

    You pay in cash the full amount at the till, unlike a business where they would have a credit facility.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,826 ✭✭✭masterboy123


    But I think its not open for general public. Am I right?

    Correct.

    first outing with the kamado bone grande and couldn't be happier with how it went.
    as it was warming up i threw on some sausages. everyone commented on the smoky flavour. very tasty.
    then i made probably the only mistake of the day, ran up the temperature to 500f for fun, but then it is hard to get it back down to 225 for smoking. part of the learning.
    i asked for spare ribs from FX buckley, these are what i got. nice and meaty but maybe i should ask for st louis style next time?
    the smaller, back one fell apart a bit as i took it out of the foil.

    for the wings i just added some rub and painted on some sauce shop buffalo hot sauce as they were turning.

    I did a lovely side of salmon on the kamado the other day. Was a large one, so I cut into three large fillets and:

    - Cured one overnight in gin, juniper berries, salt, sugar and lime zest, and served as a gravalax

    The other two I smoked for an hour on a soaked cedar plank:
    - Marinated one in soy, brown sugar, ginger and lemon
    - Smoked the other with lemon slices and served with lemon and dill

    All three were fabulous but I particularly enjoyed the Japanese-style one. Quick cooks as well — they were in the smoker for just an hour.

    Lamb shoulder today for dinner. It was delicious

    I have a party coming up at the weekend so might try these ribs. How do you defrost them? Any other tips?

    24hours in the fridge to defrost.

    Cooked at around 225-250c for 3 hours, wrapped for maybe 90 mins, checked if tender, unwrap, sauce and back for maybe 30 mins.


  • Registered Users Posts: 85 ✭✭tropics001




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,477 ✭✭✭Comerman


    When you say "wrapped" for 90 minutes is that just in tin foil?

  • Registered Users Posts: 85 ✭✭tropics001


    i wrapped in tin foil with sugar, butter and more rub.

    Breakfast in the kamado



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,139 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    Looks great, did you use a pan or something for the eggs?

    I've only managed to use mine as a standard BBQ so far. Had a great burger this evening but found it took a long time to get up to Temp, wouldn't have that patience at breakfast time.

    I've ordered a deflector plate online, been waiting weeks now, customs say forms not filled in correctly, supplier says customs not needed from NI, so I'm a bit stuck from that point of view.

    I'm thinking of throwning a leg of lamb on the Kamado tomorrow, has anyone done this? Any tips or advice?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 991 ✭✭✭cubatahavana


    No pan, i have a half moon cast iron grill. What kamado do you have? I have the Bono and I find that the accessories arrive very fast. Mine came with the deflectors already


    there’s a FB group called bbq life that is really helpful. I smoked a leg of lamb at 275-ish F degrees a while ago until it’s very tender to probe. It took about 5-6 hours but it was spectacular (don’t know how to remove first photo, got added by error)




  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,139 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    Thanks, I just have the Lidl version so need to add a few accessories.

    @cubatahavana

    where did you pick up the cast iron grill ?

    looking for one for my KJ



  • Administrators Posts: 54,087 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Kamadoluna have the half moon grills, I have one of them.

    I was i Newport on holidays recently and picked up some short ribs in kellys butchers. It is the sort of place that they pull out a whole section of the beef and you decide what you want and the end of the ribs were huge plenty of meat. I used Tom Kerridge recipe for beer braised ribs which are cooked for about 5 hours in the oven let cool and reheated on the Kamado the next day.. They were like smoked jelly literally soft as jelly. As they warmed up one had to be very careful moving the ribs as they can easily fall apart. The best thing I've ever had on a bbq, can highly recommend and they can be frozen after the oven stage.

    Ps if using Tom Kerridge recipe from BBC good foods i used teaspoons of salt as opposed to tablespoons of salt for the rub



  • Registered Users Posts: 85 ✭✭tropics001


    why wouldn't you have done the 5 hours on the kamado? surely the oven step is for people who just have a regular bbq.

    after using kamado for a couple of months it breaks my heart now to put anything in the oven 😀



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 502 ✭✭✭hargo


    The butcher told me he cooks them regularly recommended that way, Tom Kerridge 2 star Michelin chef who specialises in that type of food , his recipe and the reheating created huge amounts of smoke so it didn't lack smoke flavour. But hey i will definitely be doing more in the kamado only, I want to try so much but the above recipe did work really well.

    Hi All,


    Anybody any idea of where I can get a Kamado Joe Junior in Ireland at the moment, looking online I can only see outdoor.ie that have stock and are selling for €750 which is over the top. Just wondering has anybody seen them on their travels in an offline shop or anything. Thanks

  • Registered Users Posts: 81 ✭✭Thewitheredowl


    Exactly what I was looking for, don't know how I overlooked them when looking online. Only £14 for delivery from the North to Dublin is good too!

    What were the delivery times like, if you remember?

    Thank you



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,593 ✭✭✭Northern Monkey


    Off the top of my head, I think I ordered on a Monday and it was delivered on a Thursday.



  • Registered Users Posts: 81 ✭✭Thewitheredowl


    Just to update. Got the Joe Junior from these Guys, was 4 days from ordering to delivery. Great service



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,593 ✭✭✭Northern Monkey


    I was in their shop the weekend before last. It’s a lovely place. It’s like an 1800’s stone built farm house with the outbuildings converted into the shop. Worth a visit if you are ever up that direction. There is a really good butcher in the same town too. They carry a load of bbq items. Beef ribs, brisket (albeit they are on the smaller side) and the like. Although I would say Higgins in Sutton is better, so only worth it if you are in the area.

  • Administrators Posts: 54,087 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Hannan's would be local to my folks so any time I'm up north I always go in and buy a load. Their salt aged beef is spectacular. Also their sugar pit pork.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,593 ✭✭✭Northern Monkey


    I got a sugar pit brisket from them before and it was really good. Haven’t tried the pork outside of their ribs.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 991 ✭✭✭cubatahavana


    Startd already with home cured bacon this week. Will be cold smoking it starting this weekend in the kamado. I have some freshly smoked salmon and cheese resting in the fridge. Interesting days coming

    My Kamado is far too heavy to get into our shed for the winter, so it'll just be outside under the usual cover for it. Should I be concerned about this?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,724 ✭✭✭oleras


    Yes, you should be concerned you are not using it 12 months of the year...😁



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 991 ✭✭✭cubatahavana


    Not a bother. Mine is staying the same under the fabric cover



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 502 ✭✭✭hargo


    Just wondering if anyone uses Kerrigans butchers, couple of branches in Dublin and online. I was looking at the beef short ribs and the Angus Jacobs ladder ribs and wondering has anyone compared these two cuts in the Kamado?



  • Advertisement
  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 991 ✭✭✭cubatahavana


    I've used kerrigans many years, but recently I have moved and I'm no longer near them. I'm sure the jacob ladder will be fantastic. I love cooking them. For a 5 plate jacob ladder, I needed 12 hours in my last 2 cooks. If you get the short ribs separated, I'd say with 8-9 hours could be plenty.

    If you get the full jacob ladder, remove extra fat and silverskin from the top (i didn't remove the silverskin in my last cook and the rub and smoke did not penetrate)

    Cook at 275F, wrap at 170-175 when the bark is set (it's not removed when scraping it with a fork) and start probing for tenderness at 203F until the probe goes in EVERYWHERE without resistance. This last part took a good 2.5 hours for me after it reached 203F in my last cook (it was probe tender at 209F, 2.5 hours after reaching 203F). Wrap in foil and a few towels and place it inside your oven (off) or any other place where it can keep warm for a good hour.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 502 ✭✭✭hargo


    Thanks cubatahavana for your detailed reply. Definitely going to try the Jacobs ladder now. Looks like it will be a before going to bed job. What seasoning do you use for it just salt and pepper?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 991 ✭✭✭cubatahavana


    I've done it three times, two of them with salt, pepper and garlic and the last one with poppamies texas beef rub. Both are very good. The danger of doing it before going to bed is to keep an eye on the temps. It has happened to me that after a few hours something happened and the temp dropped a good bit. Now I use an inkbird temperature controller that keeps the temp stable within 2-4 degrees Farenheit. https://bbq4you.eu/ie/product/inkbird-wifi-bluetooth-bbq-temperature-controller/ I bought it from this crowd (they're always fantastic) and it works really well. They don't have it in stock now, but if you drop them an email they'll reply quickly. I found that temp controller fantastic, being able to check (and control) the temp over wifi even if I'm miles away from home

    Did butterflied lamb as above yesterday on the kamado, still licking my lips. All agree we have seen the last of the turkey in our house.



  • Posts: 8,856 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    turkey is a once a year thing for me so I don't mind it and also, I don't BBQ turkey either - again, probably because I use the Kamado so much throughout the year I give it a rest around Christmas day
