I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on an Ironwood 650. That's how I found this video. It's pretty cool that this was your first racks of ribs! I've smoked hundreds. I've been cooking over 50 years! Some of my first attempts didn't go so well. Like the time I tried to grill a rack on a gas grill. Burned on the outside and raw in the middle! I've come lightyears since then! I cook on a weber kettle, but am getting ready to buy the 650. An 18 hour smoke means staying up all night, but soon will be loading up the bin with pellets and checking it in the morning! Because yes... I have stayed up all night for QUE! So your first racks were cooked "competition style". Smoke, wrap, glaze. The minimum for ribs is salt, pepper, 225 for about 5 hours, rest, and eat. Cooked in the oven, they're awesome! Put some Smoke on them and you'll never eat BBQ out again! I do also make my own rubs and sauces. Cooking is fun!!! It does surprise me that you think the ribs are over done. Que is supposed to be over done, but you can over do it. About 200 degrees between the bones is about right, give or take. But for your first couple racks, you done good my friend! Try a pork shoulder. Costco has a two pack of boneless shoulders for a good price. Your family will be eating off them for weeks. Freeze some. Anyway... I enjoyed your video and you have another subscriber! Good luck with your channel!

thanks man! This grill has really opened up our world to large cuts of meats. We just did a pork shoulder last night and it was amazing! We are still loving this grill. I hope you enjoy your Treager!

Ian, I'm loving the Traeger! My first test was a couple rib eyes (fairly thick) with a reverse sear. Worked perfectly! I would probably fire up the charcoal for the sear, but the Traeger did fine. Great flavor! Then I did a whole chicken and some thighs - Peruvian style. Great! A dozen hamburgers and hot dogs. Amazing! And a wonderful turkey! I'm getting ready to hit Costco for more meat! I still think the best part is setting the temp and it stays consistent. Keep the pellets full and it'll keep that temp for days! My buddy just bought his first house. Always lived in apartments and now has a back yard. He bought a nice Weber gas grill, but I wish I could have talked him into a Traeger instead. Since he and his wife aren't cooks, I think the Traeger would be easier for them. Not to say he doesn't do well on the gas grill. And he's got half as much invested! Glad the Traeger is working out for you! There's so much you can do with it! I bet that shoulder was awesome! I'll be doing one soon. Look into making your own BBQ sauce! It's really easy. And you can make it the way you like it! Mine's always different because I don't measure, but I like the variety! You'll never buy BBQ out again! Thanks again for the video!

Thanks for sharing the issue with connecting to the network. I have the same exact grill/smoker, and I encountered the same issue today (7/31/24). As soon as I stood up to check the router connection, the 650 connected to the network. I was most likely blocking the signal path. Maybe you did, too?

It helps to have a split internet network 5ghz and 2.4ghz .. you want to be on the 2.4ghz for the Traeger and if you have an iPhone put it in airplane mode. Then you should be able to link up to the Traeger .

the over cook you think it is, is actually under cooked. with low and slow you want to smoke longer for more fall off the bone. I promise I'm not a keyboard warrior or a Gordon Ramsey wannabe. I pit mastered at a texas monthly top 50 bbq restaurant. We smoked our st louis styles at 240 on post oak for about 3- 3.5 hours. at 225 and you using baby backs (more meat) should be around 4-6 hours depending on weight. use the temp prob and get your pork ribs and buts over 205, you wont regret it.

Good single strength on your iPhone, only means to your router or access point, but not bandwidth flow or beyond that point. Sounds like you have slow bandwidth speeds or a Cat 6 wire problem, or cable delivery issues. If you have 'fast internet' then I would check all your wiring. for good continuity. If one doesn't know how to do that, then send a technician to check it. It does require a special electronic tool. I know this, because I have a A.A.S degree in Computer repair and technologies.

Hey Ian. I’m currently debating between the ironwood 650 and 885. Do you have any regrets not getting the larger 885? I’m actually in between the pro 780 and the ironwood 650. The 650 is already $400 more, and the ironwood 885 is another $400 over the 650.. hmm.

good questions...the main reason I chose the Ironwood is for the interior double wall, super smoke and some of the venting system. There have been a few times in the past year I have maxed out the space on the grill...but my normal use it for every day dinner stuff. if you were consistently have large parties and needed the space...then the bigger one would be nice. To answer your question, I have not regretted the size of my grill. The real bottom line could be your budget.
