Easy like a Sunday morning

Wife's birthday was yesterday but we all had a weekend shift. But now it's rib time. She requested only ribs, since I had brisket and pulled pork.

Salt-less version of the Killer Hog rub since I already dry brined them (and that icky 8% solution).

On at 250F over a ménage a trois of oak, hickory, and cherry.

It's Go time. Already attracting flies.

Belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your wife.
Ribs are looking good.
If flies didn't have wings, would they be called"walks?"

Frustrating day. Wife didn't tell me she invited people over for a bday lunch. When I was wrapping the ribs, she asked when will those be done. Done? When they are done! I was 3 hours in and started at 8am. Had I known guests were coming i would have started well before sunrise.

I had to crank the heat up to 300 F during the wrap stage and only got 45 minutes in before people came through the door. Wife entertained the guests while I unfoiled the ribs and threw them back on the fire. These ribs are a product of a 4.5 hour cook.

3 hour mark, pre foil

45 minutes wrapped, 45 minutes unwrapped

Meat did not pull from the bone. Tasty though.

Looks delicious. I hate a surprise rush cook as well.
