Remnants of Isaac are moving across the Midwest this weekend, so we are getting some much needed rain. 5.6" reported in a little town just SE of us overnight..

I've got 56 pounds of ribs to smoke, so you gotta do what you gotta do.

Ribs were a hit. They could have gone an hour longer (or 15° hotter), but the taste was there. Sent a rack home with each couple along with some Buffalo Chicken dip. (also a hit)

Another round of rain..

Glad to see Isaac didn't hamper your BBQ plans!

Second in command looks to me like he's dreaming of eating some of those ribs. :)

That was a great looking cook. I think you just made 42 pounds of ribs that all look better than I can make a single rack. very well done.
