Ribs and a Shoulder - Live Cook

[Mokena Mitch]

We're doing a little testing for upcoming competitions this year with 4 slabs of spare ribs and a pork shoulder. Two slabs are going to be wrapped comp-style and 2 slabs unwrapped for our pleasure :shock:

Injected and rubbed the shoulder and rubbed the ribs down. We put them on around 1pm today so it's going to be a late night. I'll try to keep the photos as live as possible...depending on the amount of beer consumed of course.

Nice start, I saw enough snow last weekend to last me a decade.

Nice color with those rubs. Anxious to see more :-D

Okay, we're 5 hours in on the ribs. We went about 2 and a half hours unwrapped and an hour and 40 wrapped at 270ish. Put them back on sauced and haven't touched the unwrapped ribs. The shoulder was wrapped at 5 hours. It got a little dark on us for a competition shoulder but it's perfect for at home BBQ.

The lighting in my kitchen is terrible for pictures so they look a little darker in the picture than they are in person. The rib color is much better in person.

That's some good looking grub.

Pfffffft.... "a little dark for competition...." Love the color on both the bones and the pork.

Looks delicious from here!

Not real sure, but you should prolly keep practicing and show us your next attempt too. It needs to be better than those mouth-watering, ooey-gooey, perfect looking pics...:loco:

Okay so we finally finished and are posting pictures which means there probably wasn't quite enough beer consumed.

Shoulder - We had an 8 pounder that finshed in 8 hours. Money muscle was okay but the pulled was great.

Ribs - Turned out really good. Competition ended up being better than the experiment. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
