So i went out of town for the week to do some skiing. Smoked a couple butts that I wrapped up and took with me for dinner one night, left 3 racks of BB's in the freezer to smoke when I got home. Walked in the door this morning and went lookin for my ribs only to find my dad already cooked em'. Oh-well, got some water boiling, grabbed my steaming basket and steamed up a bunch.
No smoke flavor what-so-ever. Figured he grilled them, shook my head and finished the ones I had warmed up, put the rest back in the fridge disappointed. He walked in right as I got done and said "I don't like the way those turned out" I said they tasted like normal grilled ribs, and he says "no, I used that drum smoker you made".
He's a life-long offset guy, owns a big, old school Oklahoma Joe's offset and uses straight wood. I was confused so had to walk out and see what exactly he did, and this is what I find:
Not the best picture, but each one of those hickory logs are probably a foot and a half to 2' long. He's dang lucky they never caught, instead of average grilled ribs he would have ended up with some nasty over-smoked ribs.
Shook my head, closed the lid, i'll clean it out tomorrow. Guess I'll head back and get a few more slabs so I can show him how to smoke poor man style :laugh:
