Lots of beef ribs going around today. Love it!! Doing some myself along with probably some sausage later. Since I'm sans Shirley till next month I figured I would fire up my WSM which I haven't done in at least a year :clap2:. I had no idea what it would look like under the cover :twitch:.
So here the unveiling. Not too bad actually aside from a little mold and nasty looking grates :biggrin1:


Nothing a little "KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!" won't fix :clap2::clap2:



After a scrub with foil gave the grates a little oil and foiled the pan and looks good enough for me


Chopping up some smaller sticks to run those instead of chunks

Injection time!! Doing more of a Mexican inspired flare on the injection and rub





Loaded up with a little kingsford/lump combo



My WSM temp gauge is shot and does really even move and since I don't ever really use it this will do well. I might replace it, but probably not soon

Doing a little seasoning and wife helped as she likes to do

Ribs on about 2:15 and just going to let it ride where it wants. It's all wide open

Picked up some good Steel Reserve for something decent to drink and then some crappy Sweet Water as a back up:icon_blush:

Starting with my fav and then into the Sweet Water later after it doesn't matter anymore. Not just going to waste Steel Reserve. It isn't like they make this stuff as easily as bottling water :-D:twitch:.

Here's the fire shortly after they went on. Though the flames kicked up when I opened the door so it didn't look exactly like this

Anyways thanks for looking. I did take some sausage out of the freezer to thaw for later and we'll probably eat all this with a side of Digiorno pizza!
