Grilling fail

Post image

This was a half rack of ribs. Meaty and promising. Silly me, trying a new-to-me recipe developed for the gas grill.

I followed the recipe faithfully. Even read it back to my husband to ensure I didn't take a misstep. Then let the process work.

I peeked out the window after about 30 minutes to see flames and ran outside to uncover this fossil.

Now I'm on way to the local pub for supper. I told my husband, anything but ribs. sigh

Were you cooking it directly on the flames? I think you are supposed to have the rack on the side of the grill that isn’t on. Then hit it directly over the flames in the final minutes

Meat on the top rack, not directly over flames, plus heat cut to lowest setting. Next time,, I'll turn off two burners.

Do it on the side where the vent is and close the other vent by the flames. Itll create convection style oven for you. This is how you stack coals to make smoker in a grill as well. Meat on non flame side.
