How do you slow cook ribs on a Weber kettle?

Prepare the grill for direct and indirect cooking over low heat (250° – 350°). Combine the rub ingredients, including 1 tablespoon black pepper and 2 1/2 teaspoons salt. Season the ribs evenly with the rub. Grill the ribs over direct low heat, with the lid closed, until nicely marked, 10 to 12 minutes, turning once.

How do you adjust the vents on a Weber kettle grill?

Open the grill's top and bottom vents all the way; move the lower vent's handle all the way to the left and rotate the lid's vent cover clockwise until the holes aren't obstructed. Lift out the cooking grid and empty the chimney starter full of lit charcoal in the tray. Replace the cooking grid and close the lid.

How accurate is Weber kettle thermometer?

Not accurate. I have one that's pretty close to dead on (compared to a Thermapen with the probe held through the top vent until it settles), but it's measuring temps near the top of the dome - typically about 40-60 degrees warmer than at the grate depending on how the top vent is set.

How do offset smokers keep heat up?

You control the heat and smoke flow in an offset smoker—in theory, at least—by adjusting the air intake and exhaust vents. (Open vents mean more oxygen, which produces a hotter fire.) In practice, temperatures vary inside the cook chamber, with the end nearest the firebox being the hottest.

How many briquettes does a Weber kettle use?

50-60 briquettes

Can you overcook smoked beef ribs?
