Rec Tec 700 - No Wrap Smoked Pork Ribs Review - Dry or Not?

[Music] [Music] hey guys welcome back I'm Keegan and today we're doing more rect experiments I just got this cooker a few weeks ago and we're doing my first rib cook on it I'm pretty excited it's a windy day out here so hopefully you can hear me okay but I got a couple beautiful racks of Saint Louis ribs I already got them trimmed up got the silver skin removed season up one of my favorite rib rods this rib rub is a little spicy a little salty and then we're gonna use a nice glaze on the end and give it some sweetness as well but the rib of rib rub itself is really good has a lot of salt black pepper and chili celery salt and the kicker is quite a bit of hot smoked paprika so it's on the spicier side itself gives the ribs a nice color the no cayenne and it's kind of like a substitute for cayenne but you can use in higher volume so feel free to take that and use it and then a little garlic powder as well but yeah these ribs are looking great I got I'm sitting right over here and one thing we're gonna try to do to keep the ribs nice and moist cuz these are no Rapids because I believe the true test of a smoker is without wrapping even though we all wrap sometimes so what we're doing is we're gonna spritz it every once in a while about every 45 minutes with a little Coors Light apple juice mixture about two part crews light one part apple juice so it's not too sweet and then I also have a water pan in there kind of a narrow water pan doesn't take up too much room full of water just to give it a little more humidity in the smoker because when smokers have like a really high you know flow rate as far as pumping air through it so it can dry out things so just take it some precautions so we get awesome results I hope all right let's get these ribs on [Music] all right the heavens are starting to open up the wind has kind of finally calmed down so I can speak in front of camera which is nice and my neighbor who runs it's like a leaf vacuum he's been running since fall even swear through the winter has finally stopped today so thank you all right so we're getting close to this final rib countdown we're close to six hours now total time I had a mother for an hour at 200 degrees trying to get just more smoke flavor in them pellet grills from my research says family lower smoke or lower temperatures meat equals more smoke so we went low for a while then I jacked it up to 250 which is usually what I do my ribs at so I'm gonna try to treat methods from other smokers I use such as the green egg so we've been rolling to 50 Cent's then and then just spritzing with that that apple juice Cruz light mixture delicious I hope for the last five hours almost so we're getting really close what we're gonna do next is just to a nice glaze with this hot honey glaze that I have using other things in the past so I use it on chicken and pork mainly but it's just a really nice simple barbecue sauce that doesn't have a lot of ingredients in it they can make it home really easily so up with that in the description box as well check that out use that you'll love it it's going to make these ribs look really pretty so we're gonna glaze them leave them on there for another 20 minutes take them off kind of into them I think they're about I think they're pretty close they're getting you know pretty good been test so as you kind of pick them up with the tongs or they're just kind of tearing through the bark a little bit and bend it pretty good so I think they're gonna be nice but let's stay tuned to find out all right let's see they've darken up nicely that's right look for a lot two uses of color but they're getting darker that means they're close to being done we're gonna go ahead place both sides these ribs kind of see as we're bedded up it's tearing apart right there so that's telling me they're done alright those are beautiful we're gonna give my 20 minutes and that we're gonna kind of open alright so these look pretty amazing so I'm just gonna cut up one of these we'll just set this one aside and see if we can oh you even got a nice clean cut that doesn't happen every time I'm not gonna lie about it we'll just pick some right in the middle here okay all right we'll cut a few more man I feel like a good karma today I haven't hit a bone I always hit a bone somewhere all right so let's take a little closer peek here I think that's him I think that's InFocus sir excuse the chainsaw on the background as you can see there's like there's some smoke ring there it's not crazy big but that's okay it's all about taste so let's give these a try that's a good-looking rib though right I think so all right guys before I bite in this rib I just want to say thanks for all the support lately all the comments have been overwhelming in a positive way I really appreciate it thank you that's it's amazing just to get the feedback from everybody and if you have tips on ribs with the REC tech let me know I'm learning on this thing just like some of you might be learning right now or some of you might be looking at purchases or some of you might have had 100 cooks on a wreck Tech's so feel free to leave me a comment for myself and the rest of the viewers and now it's time to give this river try so we hit it about right Paul pulls off the bone could have maybe pull them just a tad earlier but pretty on the spot all right so hopefully I've cleaned myself up well enough with my arms I don't have barbecue sauce all over my face cuz I didn't check but feedback on the ribs overall I thought they're really nice they don't have a heavy smoke flavor definitely not like compared to like a green egg or something like that or another charcoal smoker so I'm not gonna say they're bad or good based on that if you never had a green egg red then you'd be like hey that's a really damn good rib but the smoke flavor isn't real heavy so if you really like a heavy smoke flavor than the rec tech or the pellet smoker may not be for you that being said I did smoke these at a higher temperature 250 which I normally would do with a green egg so maybe next time I'll drop it down and see if the smoke flavor comes through more but overall you know I like the bark on it the the looks of it are great as far as that's what I'm expecting to see that dark color even before the glaze was on there they're getting nice and dark and that's what I expect to happen when you heat when you reach our 5 or so and it cook and they did so and they're delicious so once again they are delicious but that means with that being said they don't have a real heavy smoke flavor so I still love the cooker from the control it's dialed in you know I don't think I can go wrong with it I can't mess it up and for people looking for something easy I can't say there's anything better out there I haven't tried all the pellet smokers but this is a really good one and I'll keep working on it I'll do some lower smoke you know some lower temperature excuse me some lower temperature smokes to see if that makes a difference too so I'll keep experimenting reporting back be sure to subscribe if you want to see more wrecked I cook because I'm gonna be playing around this this is my new toy for the spring and summer so I'll be doing some more cooks on it next up is pulled pork so after that most likely brisket so you want to see more of that stay tuned subscribe really appreciate everybody tuning in and all the comments once again it's overwhelming and I can't say enough about it so we'll see you next time so your smoked food tastes better
