Ok here goes nothing....
Of course my new camera shows up next Tuesday so I had to use my old junky one.

Went to the local butcher shop and picked me up some spares.

Cut them up St. Louis style and gave them a good rub down with my Big Jake's Dang Ol' Rub.

IMG_0002.jpg


Threw them on the MAK and made some BBQ sauce while they were smoking.

IMG_0015.jpg


After 3 hours it's time for some apple juice and a foiling.

IMG_0017.jpg


Out of the foil and gave them the first basting of sauce.

IMG_0018.jpg


Total cook time was 4 1/2 hours @ around 250.

IMG_0025.jpg


Pretty nice bite through.

Last but not least the wife made some home made mashed potatoes and salad to go with it.

Brother, can you Spare a bite?

3 STL spares, membranes zipped off, and rubbed up with Chicken Rub #5. (a Jan's Rub derivative)


IMGP2329.JPG


IMGP2330.JPG


In the Traeger at 245-ish°. They are pretty fatty, so I'll flip them part way through the cook to render some of that out.

IMGP2332.JPG



I'll trim off the flaps for tasters, and the racks are for the guy taking care of MIL's property.

--

3 hour mark. Time to spritz.

IMGP2334.JPG


--

Time to mix up some glaze.

IMGP2336.JPG



This guy got done early.

IMGP2337.JPG



Foiled and resting in my Samsbro.

IMGP2342.JPG



My Sentry is more interested in the neighbor's squirrels than the subject at hand.

IMGP2345.JPG



The stragglers are coming along nicely.

IMGP2349.JPG



We'll call them done.

IMGP2351.JPG



Everyone is now wrapped and resting. I'll chill them overnight and then vacuum seal tomorrow.


The end trimmings I sampled were mighty tasty. I think this 'chicken' rub will work nicely.

I did St Louis ribs. First rack was smoked with the AMNTS and the second rack is being smoked with out as we speak. I'm curious to taste difference. The first rack was outstanding.

Happy Birthday Johnny! I hope you had a wonderful birthday.

ribs, huh, not really what was in my weekend plans but I can adapt :)

Been a busy weekend, yesterday had stuff that needed to be done in the morning, knew I had to kayak today. So needed to think ahead to tonight's dinner, needed something that was going to be quick.... yesterday was cool so it seemed like a good day to make some pasta sauce.... ribs - ahhh, I saw a post on serious eats awhile ago - Grilled sunday gravy.....

so here goes.........

a bunch of tomatoes onto the MAK, s&p & evoo drizzed on, on smoke for a bit, ramp up the temp and let them get nice and roasty
photo-122.jpg


the meats..... made some meatballs, rolled up some beef for braciole (bread crumbs, lots of parm, garlic &I, hot italian sausage and the ribs (just salt & pepper on the ribs)


been playing with the weber some (still haven't really figured it out) - the meats onto the weber just to brown, a handful of oak pellets
photo-120-2.jpg


photo-121-1.jpg


Some onions, evoo into a pan, then some garlic, some herbs, add a can of tomato paste. Skinned and then hand crushed the tomatoes into the pot for the pasta sauce base
photo-123.jpg


cut up the ribs into single pieces then into the pot, added the sausage and let simmer for a few hours, added the braciole and meatballs for awhile

photo-126.jpg


into the fridge overnight

today.... beautiful day, little windy, could see Long Island, bit of a parking problem :eek:

Pappy Ribs

Used hoisin, molasses, and mustard for glue. Used money and Obie cue mixed. Cooked Sparky style at 250 degrees. Total time was 4.5 hours. Tender and juicy, but not fall off the bone, though I did push it a little.

And finally for the lid...

IMAG2564.jpg


I then put the infuser on my Char-Broil RED side burner and turned the burner on high...

IMAG2565.jpg


IMAG2566.jpg


About 10 minutes later I got smoke coming out and I hear sizzling...

IMAG2572.jpg


After 30 minutes I lift the lid...

IMAG2573.jpg


Then the upside down grate...

Fired up the Memphis with the flame zone insert and gave them a sear. The scallops went on the top rack to finish the bacon and the short ribs got a treatment of Texas Rib Candy Mango Habanero...

MAK vs Drum on Babybacks

Wife told me we had company coming (plan for 10 adults and 6 kids for dinner.. ok ribs works for that) I was going to use the MAK but she said she liked the drum ones last time.. tough decisions had to be make... so I did 2 racks on each using everything exactly the same.

Seasoned with Smoking guns hot and some LL w/pepper
IMG_1142.jpg


Put 2 on the drum runing at 225 (with some hickory pellets in the mix.
IMG_1144.jpg


2 hours in and added the chicken legs. Marinated with some salad dressing and garlic dude dust for a few hours. (love the leg rack..)
IMG_1146.jpg


Also one of the friends is a vegetarian and gluten free... so I seasoned tofu with steak seasoning (double secret) and in the smoker box for an hour. Cubed it and mixed with tomatoes and fresh basil. Stuffed in a sweet pepper and onto a new rack that has never touched meat (nice challenges.... gotta love freinds!)
IMG_1148.jpg

Foiled the ribs and put the twice baked potatoes on the top rack (no pictures of them.. too busy with all the people and kids running around.) They had cream cheese sour cream, sharp cheese, dude dust and the potatoes mixed in and stuffed back inside with some bacon.
Out of the MAK, out of the foil to set for 15min:
IMG_1149.jpg

Out of the foil on the drum and chicken done:
IMG_1150.jpg


Plated:
IMG_1153.jpg


We were split with who liked the ribs from each.. it was pretty funny. An awesome night with friends and food!

Happy birthday Mr. Trigg! I hope I can pass down the knowledge that I have learned from your cooking to the next generation of master BBQ'ers

Ribs on the Bone.

Daughter has been wanting some ribs on the bone and BP doing a Johnny Trig B-day contest, I am in.


I was not sure about the 2nd rib so I just separated a few ribs. But both got a little sprinkle.
IMG_0005.JPG


Found this while I was in the Netherlands. Might as well give it a go. Does say Netherlands Best so it has to be good.
IMG_0006.JPG


IMG_0007.JPG


they are looking pretty good so far
IMG_0008.JPG


For Sparky, hope Johnny likes it this way. Had to stick with what works for my daughter.
IMG_0009.JPG


Looking even better.
IMG_0010.JPG


IMG_0012.JPG


Here are the ones with Netherlands best. Look good pretty enough to eat.
IMG_0013.JPG


yep they were a hit. Sparky style were very good. Netherlands best were good but a little dry. I did enjoyed the sweat chilly and will be giving it a 2nd go.

Baby Back Ribs with garlic mash, garden fresh carrots and salad

Three babies, the top one with gunpowder/hasty bake, middle with Plowboys Bovine Gold, the bottom one with Money/Head Country Championship rub.
001.jpg

On to the UDS with a good handful of apple pellets for some smoke love.
003.jpg

We're lookin' good...
008.jpg

Foiled for an hour then back on the grill for some Bulldog sauce for the last half hour.
013.jpg

All sliced up and ready for the crowd.
014.jpg

Plated ribs with garlic mashed potatos, garden fresh carrots with a nutmeg honey butter glaze, garden fresh salad with ground cherries and tomatoes.
015.jpg


On to the dessert.....
This is called "Magic Peach Dessert" with Peche Lambic infused creme fraiche.
It starts out with a custard dish turned upside down in the center of the pie plate.
002.jpg

Skinned, sliced peaches fill the pie plate with a dusting of cinnamon. Melted currant jelly is poured over the peaches and then coverd with shortcake dough rolled and tucked to the inner edges of the pie plate.
004.jpg

Out of the oven for a very short rest.
005.jpg

Then a platter is placed over the pie plate and quickly inverted. The pie plate's still in place. Wait! What's that? The once empty custard cup is full of juice. Hey, I know magic when I see it!

Cont'd....

With the pie plates removed and the custard dish full of drizzling sauce.
007.jpg

I started the creme fraiche the day before so it would be ready, then mixed in half a bottle of Peche Lambic.
017.jpg

The finish! The light tartness of the creme fraiche infused with the peach lambic was a refreshing compliment to the natural sweetness of the peaches.

Thanks for looking!
