Guerry, this is a re-print of me just bonin' up for the Stupor Bowl...........
OK...........been thinkin' about questions about ribs, postings about weather, some other postings about ribs, Stupor Bowl coming up, which indicates ribs need to be done (rain or shine)
Ribs were on sale, thought I got the three pack instead of the two pack, in the planning chess game, counting how much.....counts......turns out it was 22-1/2# .....full spares, 4 racks.....hmmmmmmmmm...................
Let's do two now, two different ways......two some other day & perhaps some backribs alongside those.......the original plan was blueberry / chipote backs for the Stupor Bowl, but the general plan seems to be expanding.......
1st, a bit of a trim..............knock off the chine bone & some of the thinner stuff from around the edges.......
A reasonable smattering of garlic powder on both......
The dry ribs get this:
A lightweight jerk rub, the garlic, Italian seasoning (ground fine) & BACON salt...................
The wet ribs get this:
BBQ sauce & bread & butter pickle juice............
3 layers of foil.............coals like so.............
Started at 350f, shut down a daisy vent after a bit to get to 300f..........
Added coals @ 2 hours & checked the packet.............
At two hours, 40 minutes, began the glazing with the sauce from the packet.....
Every 8~10 miutes, pouring a coating of juice over the flat.......yeah, it's messy......I'm a mess.......no wonder the cookers look like they do..... :roll:
Last dump:
Result:
Bite thru & gentle pull off the bone @ 3 hrs. 10 min.
Now......what about those "other ribs"?
Started in about 1/2 hour later.......trying to get the wrappers done so the wife could have dinner in some reasonable time ( 6:10 PM....ONE RIB !!!)
This set:
Let it go for a bit, then bridged the gap to the unlit coals............
Rotated the grate & added another part of a row of coals @ 3 or so hours......was this a mistake, a miscalculation, a fopaw?
Don't know......add in some coals & keep moving........
Ran @ more or less 250f for 5 hours, set the spent foil from the other ones under these to keep the bottom from getting blackened.....
Result (same bite thru & pull as the others....at 6 hours):
Bad Photo....................
However, as Elston Limehouse says:
".....but when it do.....boy,it is a sweet, spicy, smokey, juicy, tender piece of heaven......if I do say so myself.............
PS: Cloudy with semi-threat of rain all day.......................
