56C

They had the texture of fillet steak but were FAR tastier (easy, I know)

I am going to do them again tonight, this time I am going to do a little more prep on them and add some flavours to the bag.

Pork ribs at 56c are the best, but like you say it takes 3 days. You can get away with 79c for 12 hours and they are very very close close in texture and flavour
 
Had to settle for 'medium grade' maple syrup as that's all I could find (that was actually maple syrup pure and not a mix). Think I'll add a splash of JD in there as well and a bit of cider vinegar for a first test, a bit of Dijon probably wouldn't go amiss either, seems like a pretty staple glaze.
 
Don't worry about the grade. It's not quality. It's the colour, the lighter the maple syrup the higher the grade and more expensive it is. lighter it is the milder the flavour.(over simplification, but the general idea)
So sometimes you want the dark cheap stuff. BBQ with strong flavours is a good place to have darker grades. Or if you're me just forget the light stuff. Who wants sugary with lack of flavour,
 
I got the Clarks one from Sainsburys as the rest were Maple flavoured. It is just a few shades lighter than the vanilla coke I have right now. 500ml for £8.99.

I bought a rack of short ribs just now and was planning to do them over the 72 again. I will try the higher temp for 12 hours and report back. Thanks.
 
The best maple syrup I ever bought was from a chap who was selling it from the side of the road in Wales. My ex is Canadian and knows a lot about maple syrup and said it was hands down the best she had ever tasted. I agreed.

It came in really heavy duty tins, the kind you couldn't stamp on to flatten and one was light in colour, the other slightly darker.

Both were quite simply amazing.

This was the brand.. the one we had came in a red colour scheme and a blue scheme.
 
Not seen them about, my bro in law got me a big bottle once as he deals in specialist foods, can't recall the brand but it was free which was nice. I know you're being helpful but the mods don't allow us to hot link mate, I got an infraction for it, not being a forum police just a heads up :)

That pork belly looks damn good :)

I have some pork shoulder in the oven that I smoked yesterday for a good few hours before finishing off in the oven at 75C. Looks so good and the house has smelt of amazing pork all day. Can't wait.
 
Yeah will start getting all the bits together, hopefully mostly free stuff. I'm renovating my new house so it's not top priority.......but I do want to get some pork in it ASAP hahaha.


Need a coal holder, some feet, taps for air control, grills, possibly a lid.
