• Christmas Ribs, Crayfish & Blue Crabs (Day 3) **Pr0n0graphic

Phrasty · 12-27-2011, 01:45 AM

So yet another day over the Christmas with nonstop smoking... This time it was a case of ribs and some seafood for a open house my mother and I were hosting.

Trimmed up the ribs and seasoned them with my own rib rub:

Threw them on the smoker with some more lychee and logwood for smoke:

No spritz, no foil just smoke and take them off as they pass the bend test:

Coolered them up and took them over to the parents place:

Of course not before sampling a couple ribs for myself!

Once at the parents I had to sort out the crayfish and crabs. I boiled up some water with spices, corn, pepper and basically whatever I could find that I thought would work. and threw in the crayfish. They came out awesome!

Then I pulled out the trusty big wok to do the crab. I did about 30 lbs of these suckers! (it was a big open house!)

I did a garlic & a chinese style with black bean and hoisin:

Here's the garlic:

The spread was HUGE! Was working so hard I didn't get too much time to relax much less take pictures of all the food. All in all it was a great Christmas celebration! Probably had close to 100 people pass though during the night!

was good seeing old friends and family you don't see all that often!

Well thanks again for looking guys! Thats it for now.

More to come!
Cheers

WOW, that looks great.
That is very interesting wood you are using, lychee I believe.
Is that simular to our south Texas mesquite wood?
Thanks for sharing those awsome pics.
