Finally Got Time to Cook!

Man, I hate it when I'm so busy I can't get the BSKD fired up.

Well, finally got a weekend with some free time. I picked up a 10lb box of frozen riblets. I'd never tried these before, but has heard some good comments locally. Thawed 'em under running water, slathered in a mix of honey and yellow mustard, I wanted to add some sweetness. Then shook my personal rub mix on and tossed in a large bowl. After they where nice and coated, I put them in a cooler with blue ice. This morning I got up and fired up the BSKD, using a chimney of lump and K. I had to resort to a grocery store bundle of hardwood, which actually work out pretty good. Pieces were a little big, but the good charcoal bed kept everything going. Did 2 1/2:1:1, rested in the cooler for and hour and oh boy did they turn out good. Also slipped in 3 fatties, they turned out good too. Only have a couple of pics of the riblets. Well worth the $1.28/lb

Can't sleep, so what better to do than come here? Big Fark up- those look like a perfect late night snack

Ciret, would you mind sharing where you pick those tastey looking vittles up? That seems like a pretty good price, and would make for some good, cheap, tailgating eats at the - Brewers Games.

I see you live pretty darn close to me. I live just north of 27th and college.

Roy, we can buy the riblets here for under a dollar a pound. Just like the other poster said, they come from the trimming of a spare. It isn't the meatiest thing you can buy. From my experience there is more bone than meat. I had a nieghbor lady invite us over a few weeks ago for bbq ribs and this is what she made. Call me crazy but I just always cook my spares or BB's so I can chalk it up as practice.
