Needed a Break (Ribs!)
Well after 65+ hours of grinding & polishing the concrete for the egg's new home, I decided to take a break and do some cooking. Left work around noon and picked up a couple racks of St Louis ribs and some chicken breasts. Did the ribs with mustard (1) with Yardbird Rub & (1) with Bone Suckin Rub. Did (2) breasts with Bone Suckin Rub (2) with Kick-N-Chicken and (1) with Yardbird. Set the BGE up, raised direct @ 350. Side note, I dumped the last of my BGE lump on the existing lump and it must have had a lot of charcoal dust - I've never seen so much smoke - I was afraid the neighbors were going to call the fire department After approximately 40 minutes the smoke finely got right. Put the ribs on and let them go for approx. 1 1/2 hours then put the chicken on. Checked the chicken 20 minutes later and they were already @ 170 so I pulled and loosely wrapped in foil. Sauced the ribs and let go for another 20 minutes. Not sure which ribs I liked better, but both were a big hit with the family, including our dog, who's learned the art of begging since I got the Egg!
I also tried a couple of tricks I saw on youtube. First was to put corn in the microwave for 4 min per ear / cut the butt end and slide the corn out of the husk (no silk). This was a good trick and the corn tasted great with a little butter and salt. The second was slicing a watermelon by 1st cutting in half, 2nd sticking the knife through the rhine and cutting several horizontal cuts inside the melon, 3rd cutting along the inside of the rhine (like a bowl), then several cuts perpendicular to each other in the melon and finally dumping in a bowl. Another great trick, quick, easy and no mess!
Anyway, it was nice getting to play with the egg again and hopefully will be done with it's new home in a couple of weeks!

The food and new cooking spot both look excellent. The little dog is cute as heck too!'
Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.
Status- Standing by.
The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
