How to Prepare Beef Ribs  in the Flaming Coals Offset Using a Tempmaster and HotRods

Here, we're all about making sure that our products perform well. That means we have to take one for the team and test cook some fantastic beef ribs and sausages on the Flaming Coals Offset Smoker with the Tempmaster Pro temperature controller and HotRods.

Here’s how the cook went:

First of all, we would like to express our gratitude to Lindens Fresh Meats in Mornington for providing this cook with some excellent products. The sausages and beef ribs were excellent. Visit the staff at Lindens Fresh Meats if you're seeking for a great source of meat.

With HotRods in the Offset Smoker Charcoal Basket, we decided to test the Flaming Coals Tempmaster Pro automatic smoker temperature control for this cook. We were interested to see how the Tempmaster handled compressed charcoal and how effectively it automatically controlled the smokers' temperature since HotRods burn hotter than ordinary charcoal.

We started a chimney-full of HotRods and poured them in using half a basket's worth. The Tempmaster Pro was set to 250 degrees, and we watched to see what would happen.

 

Here’s what we found out:

- Without using much of the smoker's HotRods charcoal, the Tempmaster Pro kept the pit at around 250 degrees continuously while using the HotRods in the basket. 

- We needed to move the basket closer to the vent where the Tempmaster fan was if we wanted to increase the temperature in the pit. This was probably because the basket was somewhat protecting the fire from the fan.

- The Tempmaster Pro had complete control over the offset once the temperature was set at our desired level (250f) using the HotRods in the baskets; we didn't need to make any adjustments, add fuel, or change settings throughout a 5–6 hour cook.

Even though we checked it, there was nothing else we needed to do other than check on the food.  Not Bad.

We carefully spritzed the ribs and were ready to wrap them in butter since we were committed to the endeavor.

 

It's time to try the NeoHeat 250 gloves, another new product. Your hands are protected by these gloves against temperatures of up to 250 degrees Celsius. Your hands stay dry thanks to these. They are reusable and washable. Using the NeoHeat gloves, we picked up the ribs directly off the grill, wrapped them, and then placed them back inside the smoker to continue cooking. The findings of the glove test were then examined. Test passed with clean, dry, unburnt hands. The new NeoHeats performed tasks like cutting sausages and handling them without any issues.

Because of the long burn period of the HotRods and the effectiveness of the Tempmaster Pro, the charcoal basket was still practically full at the end of the cook. 

Additionally, we are happy to inform that the cook produced wonderful, juicy smoked ribs and sausages. At the end of the day, we were ready to accept eating the results. for the benefit of the test. Thank you very much.
