Decided to take a day off and practice my ribs for a throwdown I'm doing in June.
The cook included 3 racks of ribs in my WSM, an 8.5 lb pork shoulder done in my home built smoker and since we were outside enjoying the day, I fired up a Coleman stove and cooked up some whole hog breakfast sausage links and homemade bacon once we had both cookers going.
First up the ribs. They all had the same basic rub, two I sauces with two different sauces and one I left dry (which is how I prefer them).
Couple bones of each
Wishing I would have got a little more smoke ring but flavor of all three were great.
Next up the pork shoulder. Decided to do a hot and fast cook on this one. It was also my first long cook on my drum smoker. While prepping everything the temps got away from me once (soared to 450 :shocked: ) but we were able to throttle her back to 300 where she chugged along for 7 hours. Quickest I've cooked a shoulder to date.
All in all, it was a pretty awesome Wednesday.
