I want to know what you guys think...

tmkshew · 02-08-2010, 06:18 PM

I'm 23 years old and I live in Maryland.
I just started smoking really with my new WSM (I couldn't wait for Spring to come around).

It just recently snowed 33in and I thought I should post some pics of my WSM in the snow.

I used two racks of Pork Spare Ribs.
And this Applewood rub that I mixed with about 1/4 bag of light brown sugar.

It seems to be going pretty good. I'll reply to this post with the final results and I'll show you the BBQ sauce I chose to use.
I went with two different kinds.
One spicy and one mild.

This is only my third time using the WSM. It's great and I'm loving it...

and it's only Winter!!

Let me know your guys thoughts on the storm and tips for the WSM 18.5" as well as any other helpful tips. Thanks.

Good looking ribs, how did the rub workout?

Skidder · 02-08-2010, 07:34 PM

I would ease up a bit on the brown sugar unless you like your ribs sweet. Plus the sugar can burn very easy.
Any info you need to know you should be able to find here.

Noticed the door off the WSM. Did you have to keep it off to maintain temps or was it a temporary thing? Just curious with the outside temps probably being pretty cold. Any way, looks great but all that snow makes me love southern Arizona more all the time.

Tasty looking! Snowmageddon who?

just a temporary thing...

tmkshew · 02-08-2010, 08:25 PM

everything's going good so far.

It looks pretty good to me!

CaptGrumpy · 02-08-2010, 08:45 PM

Get a Big Green Egg and it won't matter what it is doing outside because it holds the temps without a hinder.
Ditto on the sugar! Rub the ribs with EVOO and then apply the rub and let set for 4-5 hours before submerging into the WSM. This allows the meat to absorb the seasoning.
What's up with all that white crap on your patio???

It is always BBQ season where I live or wherever I am!

BTW I don't apply sauce to my ribs but if you have to, wait till the end of the smoke so the meat can really absorb some of that delicious smoke!

Food looks good. Don't know about the rest of you but I'm sick of SNOW! I'm sick of this crappy cold weather and snow.

BobBrisket · 02-08-2010, 10:39 PM
