So...I woke up yesterday with all intent on doing some full spares and a spatched chicken today. I had 6 racks and a bird, but...they were in the freezer. No worries...I called the wife from work and explained my dilemma. "Sure", she said, "I'll go to the store and pick something up." Problem solved.
I got home last night to discover she had bought beef back ribs, a small sirloin roast labeled as "steak" and one extremely fatty 4 lb chuck roast. :doh:
I smiled and told her what a fine job she had done on her shopping trip, went to the garage and began wondering...where did I go wrong? She has shopped with me many times over and heard me describe what I look for when selecting meats etc...I guess I have failed to explain myself in a clear and concise manner. My failure!
I am trying to make the best of it and cook these things, hoping they turn out a notch better than chew toys for the dogs. Running the Bandera and WSM side by side...meat on the Bandera between 250 n 275...beans to go on the WSM later.
There was so much fat in the chuck that in order to remove it all, I basically broke it down to 4 pieces...gotta keep an eye on the smaller ones...gonna get the IT up to pull for lunches this week. The ribs may or may not be edible...who knows? The smaller piece of ribs to the right are not seasoned...the dogs will get those no matter how they turn out...they always get a treat when "daddy" cooks!
Crossing my fingers and hoping for the best. ray::lol:
NOTE: I still love her! :biggrin1:
