About 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the wife said "How 'bout some BBQ tonight?" Too late to pick up a brisket or a butt and get it done, so I decided on smoking some country style ribs. Hadn't had asparagus or a good baked potato in a while, so that was the menu. Also got some corn for the kids, but forgot to make that. Oh well. They like asparagus too.

A good friend from Michigan sent me some Billy Bones BBQ Rub, so I thought I'd give it a whirl. A thin coat of cheap arse mustard and a semi-thick coat of Billy Bones later, the CSRs were ready to hit the LBGE.

Brought the egg to 235° and put the CSRs on.

EVOO and sea salt on the taters for a 1 hour tanning session in the oven at 450°.

Combined KC Masterpiece Hickory and Brown Sugar sauce, apple juice, and a healthy dose of my beloved Yard Bird and simmered for about 30 minutes.

Put a thin coat of EVOO in a cookie sheet and rolled the asparagus around in it to coat it, then showered it with Yard Bird. Grilled the aparagus on the gasser on medium high heat for about 12 minutes (rolling over half way through)

Smoked the CSRs for around 3 hours, headed to internal temperature of 170° or so.

Checking CSR internal temp.

Pulled them off the egg (dry rub style) and they turned out nice and juicy. Cut them into medallions.

Mrs. South plated it all up, we drizzled some of the sauce concoction on, and chowed down. All in all, a very good meal. A good time was had by all.
