Are they done yet? How did they taste? What rub did you use? C'mon! I want answers! :-D
Yes, they're done, and have already been et! lol I didn't have any fancy rubs at all here, so I just mixed together some of what powders I already had on hand... onion, garlic, paprika, sea salt, and pepper.
To the tell the truth, I think I've got a lot of improving to do. If I'm going to critique my own food, I felt they were too spicy/salty, and they were underdone. Not so underdone that I got sick from them, but underdone nevertheless.
I held up the one end of them with a pair of tongs to see if they'd "crack", and what they did was to bend all the way over so the long end was pointing straight down to the ground. I thought that must be what they look like when they "crack", but apparently not, because they could have gone longer on the smoker.
Remember, I've never had real bbq. I've only had it in restaurants, and I've a feeling that wasn't real bbq. And I've never seen anyone cook real bbq before. So I'm really flying blind here. Anything I'm making is my first ever taste of real bbq except for that brisket that Santa Brethren brought for my son when he was here before Christmas. (it was delicious BTW)
So, whenever I go to cook anything, I have to depend on the books I've been reading and my fellow Brethren/Sisthren to get me through. And my own trial and error, of course. Next time, I'll cook 'em until they point to the ground, and then I'll cook 'em some more. Sooner or later, I'll figure it out, I guess. :wink:
