Screwed the rib trimmings up! :D

[chad]

I'm "sorry" to report that the rib trimmings I spent all afternoon cooking are screwed up! Poor things just fall off the bones!

It sure is fun cooking this stuff when I don't have to satisfy some judge! :mrgreen: I wasn't even trying to keep them anywhere close to "turn in" - did a 3-3 and chowed down.

I'm amazed they were so tender since I didn't "braise", boil, or oven cook the ribs. Oh yeah, I took the membrane off too - is that allowed? :twisted: And I went way over the 2 hours in the cooker that the TV guy did - and mine were only at 240 degrees - I guess that messed them up too. (I am SO glad I didn't see that show!)

I hope I don't have to turn in my Brethren hat and apron!

The chicken turned out great with 3 hours in the WSM - just rub and apple juice - the chicken is for later in the week and there are plenty of "rib" leftovers, too.

What a great day - a few minor chores and woodsmoke for 6 hours!

Poor baby.
My heart goes out to you :lol:
I reheated (boiled in foodsaver vac bag) some of the same ribs from Mobile.
Not bad, to say the least--just added a touch of Woody's (thanks Stacey) and they were good to go :lol: :lol:
You needed a day like this!
Now, check your email and get back to work :twisted:
Be back in your area tomorrow.

What a tragedy! THey must be really screwed up if you didn't braise them. THey probably aren't even edible.

It's sad! The 'thin ends' are almost boneless anyway - you could just lay it on two pieces of bread and have an instand rib sandwich.

I tried to pick up the "breast" pieces (the bony part at the thicker side of the slad) and every one of them broke into big chunks. I was SO upset!

It was a great day and a fun cook. Even at home I sometimes get to concentrating on the "perfect" rib and miss the fun of just burning some wood and charcoal.

I think there's a lesson here....

Yeah, the lesson is to always make sure you have meat in the freezer!

You know, you can always boil yer rib parts! I hear everyone is doing that now a days. :wink:
