Well, today was the day. It was supposed to be yesterday but I had to take a motorcycle out to the dealer to drop it off for service. Ended up trading it on a new one... This is exactly how I got banned from taking my truck for oil changes by myself... 
These ribs best be a winner. I need the points right now.... Especially since I finally fessed up to the size of my smoker investment. She was starting to thing Big Poppa's was a new investment house...!!! I told her it was but they traded in something far better than securities....
Okay. Looks like I got everything here. Membrane is pulled and ribs are toweled dry. Not that my ribs will look like Sparky's but leaving nothing to chance I even bought some Fat Tire...
Little glue, sprinkle or two of Penzey's Galena Street, some Famous Dave's and BP's Little Louie's.. Locked it down with a bit of Pam and ready to go.
The assistant cook is on duty and ready to provide emergency response for any spills...
Off and running... Puffing along at 225 on BBQ'rs Delight hickory... This really needs to be a success. Between a new MAK and a new Harley the ice i'm standing on is getting a little thin. This would be a good time for a home run. Trouble is I never was a clutch hitter. In fact, I couldn't much hit at all. Or even play baseball for that matter....
Pumps some nice smoke, doesn't it..??
About an hour and a half in and hitting them with some Apple Juice/vinegar. They look pretty nice. Between all the smoke and a really bright sun the picture is washed out, which I guess puts my photography skills on par with my baseball talents...
Okay, 3 hours 15 minutes at 225 then 1/2 hour in the foil. Then put the MAK on high and hit them with brown sugar & honey and then sauced and caramelized for a while. Total cook time was 4.5 hours...
Pretty much speaks for itself and the credit goes to MAK...
Ribs, jacket potato (as my friends in Britain would say), slaw, fresh baked French baguette and some purchased coconut creme pie... (I baked the bread in the oven, not the grill. And I didn't make the bread, I just put it in some warm and friendly surroundings...) I had fun but now it's time to eat.. Bon appetite...!!!!
