Ribs for Saturday ... pron added!
1. The ribs... Took a second glance at the market to see if there are any ribs left from the holiday weekend. Anytime full pork slabs ribs are under a buck a pound ... I'm a happy camper.
2. Plan was to smoke all three (KC trim) started on @ 9:00 AM using K for coals. Each slab was too long... went with (2) vertical half racks drizzled with apple juice.
3. Saw the weather forcaast... a string of heavy thunderstorms heading my way... DANG! Break out the 9 foot umbrella when the sky opened up on me and the smoker.
4. Dropped temp drastically... coolled down the wet smoking chamber to 200 degees. Broke out the RO lump and "sprinkled" over the charcoal bed and opened up the air vents... hoping the lump will kick start the temp back to 225-250*. YES! the lump did what I hoped... a quick spark in the firebox.
Approaching foil time soon.
There is no way in my mind if anyone told me I'll be doing what I did just today 6 months ago. The series of events listed above is the direct reflection from the support from the brotherhood. Thanks to all the brothers and sistas who have not only accepted me but also tolerated my rants, confusions, and frustrations.
Thanks to Phil... A Mentor, Tormentor, and Instigator.
