I've never seen rib roasts on the bone in Finland, but the cut without the bone is called entrecôte. Stockan herkku has sometimes nice, big roasts, 4 kg or so. If you can't find them there (unlikely!), call Reinin Liha. Happy smoking! I won't make it to Helsinki this year for Vappu, but try to find some Finns from Boston to celebrate with :) Hi penelope, greetings from the Navajo reservation!

I have a Weber kettle but what is the Finnish for "rib roast" and can I get a good one in Espoo or do I have to go to Reinin Liha? Is it on the bone? I get so confused with the names of cuts of meat between British, American, French... now Finnish Arrrghh! I guess you used beef but can I do this with elk?

Smoking in the Weber kettle was surprisingly easy, the Weber heat beads kept their temperature constant almost automagically :) Can't wait for the spring and next charcoal grilling season, during winter I'm limited to propane...

Last fall I brought ~20 kg of various sauces from the States, and still have plenty left, but when I run out, I'll start cooking them myself. I especially like Carolinas style mustard sauces, and Texas style sauces. The oven period was suggested by some BBQ pro, so I just followed the orders. I think it gives a nice crust, and some extra heat just before the meat is wrapped in a foil. At least the skin became very nice & moist that way.

Do you have any good BBQ sauce recipes? That kind of ones, which make the meat nice and sticky when applied on the meat towards the end of the grilling. Ribs shouldn't be any more difficult than the roast - just keep the heat low enough and barbecue until the meat starts to tear off the bones. By the way, why the 15 minutes oven period in that roast posting? Ribs are fabulous! Do you have any good BBQ sauce recipes?

I tried them once before in a grill, but I failed miserably, and have cheated ever since by cooking them in an convection oven. Now that I even know where to get beautiful slabs of ribs (Hakaniemen halli) - and I have tons of real, American BBQ sauces - I can't wait for the slow-cooking weekends to come :) Pippurimylly: I couldn’t agree more with you! :) My next project: smoked ribs.

Let's hope the slow, indirect cooking fashion finally catches fire :) in Finland. For some reason, backyard grilling is all about high heat and thin cuts of meat - at least up here in Oulu. Then the devoted fathers - having this one time acquired the sole responsibility for the meal - worry their backsides off not to burn the meat and disappoint the ladies. So guys - just take a good, rough cut of quality meat, set up the barbecue in low-to-medium indirect heat and basically let the grill do the worrying. The process takes so long it's quite hard to overdo it completely. Plus, it gives the cook more time to enjoy the summer and a set of tasty beverages. Let the summer roll in!

Everybody seems to be down with the flu these days, I hope you get better soon :) I actually grilled during the winter too, but in -20 C gas doesn't work really well anymore :P The charcoal grill is too high maintenance to be used in cold, so I had to fall back to those disposable picnic grills :) relly: Thanks for stopping by!
