Can you make spare ribs or pulled pork “low & slow” on the gas barbecue, i.e. cooking at a low temperature<\/strong>? Of course you can! But the problem here is often keeping the temperature on the gas barbecue constantly in the recommended range between 110 and 120 degrees Celsius \u2013 regardless of whether you have a gas barbecue from Broil King, Napoleon, Outdoorchef, Weber, or any other brand. It’s sure to work out with GOK products.<\/p> \n\r\n

<\/p>\r\n \n

While some can’t really keep the temperature constant, others struggle with getting the temperature so far down that you can call it “low temperatures”. In other words: Some barbecues have so much power<\/strong>, even on their lowest setting, that they cannot sustain a temperature of 110 degrees for a long period of time with the cover closed.<\/p> \n \n

<\/span>Tinkering<\/span><\/h2> \n \n

Out come the tinkerers: Building spacers<\/strong> out of various materials to keep the cover a little bit open. The disadvantage here, especially for “low and slow” cooking: If the night gets colder or the wind picks up, the consistency of the temperature progression<\/strong> goes out the window. The temperature fluctuates too much, it becomes impossible to calculate the cooking time and the cook jeopardises the perfect result.<\/p> \n \n

There’s no more need to mess around when you have a simple and reasonably-priced aid to do this for you. The control valve allows you to adjust the temperature rather precisely and constantly in advance. How does it work?<\/p> \n \n

You get the best results with pulled pork when the gas barbecue is kept at a constant temperature of between 110 and 120 degrees Celsius. The adjustment is sure to work with a control valve from GOK.Image by Daniel Memmler<\/a> on Pixabay<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption> \n<\/figure> \n \n

<\/span>The solution<\/span><\/h2> \n \n

The cook installs the control valve between the pressure reducer \u2013 ideally the barbecue control valve from GOK \u2013 and hose assembly or upstream excess flow device. This control valve allows you to make very fine adjustments to the flow rate amount.<\/strong> That means that, there is the same pressure at the gas barbecue as before, but the valve allows less or more gas through \u2013 depending on the direction the dial is turned in. This allows you to control the flame intensity of the burners, and also regulate the temperature in the gas barbecue very precisely.<\/p> \n \n

This is what it would actually look like to do this: The cook fires up their gas barbecue and brings the target temperature towards 110 degrees Celsius. From experience, most people probably know more or less how many burners should be on and at what level to maintain the temperature.<\/p> \n
