This past weekend I trialed my new Z Grill with the smoked rib recipe provided via email. Ribs were smoked for 3 hours at 225 degrees using Mesquite pellets. The grill held the temperature within 5 degrees despite variable winds (5-20mph). I then foil wrapped the ribs with the Z Grills secret sauce and put them back on the grill at 275 for another 2 hours. One final hour out of foil with my favorite BBQ sauce followed by 15 min rest period. The meat fell off the bone and tasted fantastic! This affordable and versatile grill is now my favorite way to smoke meats!
