Saturday Beef & Pork

hapster

Picked up half a dozen bags of Ozark yesterday at Firecraft as well as a big bag of oak chunks, so I should be good for a few weeks

On tap today, thinking about doing the beef back ribs I picked up last week (cryo packed) and some stuffed boneless pork chops. Not sure what I'll stuff them with yet... The ribs would just be rubbed with sea salt & pepper and smoked over oak, figuring indirect at 275 till done, no flip or foil. The chops will likely be done raised direct at 400 or so till 150IT

Pics later...

Just up early due to an on call issue; one of our sites needs to be shutdown for a few hours so they can bomb the interior, apparently the store is being overrun with spiders. One of the stranger calls I've gotten...

Have a great Saturday everyone!

What up Hap!  I'm sure it will suck balls as usual.   :P

I'm at work too.  Came in at 3:30am to supervise vendors for a project at the hospital.  While i'm getting OT and not really doing much at all, i'd much rater be at home sleeping.

Being up this early can be dangerous.... Just ordered some stuff from Cabelas including the 30oz Yeti Tumbler...

Heading to Wegman's in a few minutes

You should have offered to go gather up the spiders and make a nice stir fry for lunch.  8-}

Up early myself.... For a different reason though

hapster

Well... just waiting for the showers to move thru in about 30min so I can get the egg set up and lit for the beef ribs.

Going to do the stuffed pork chops using a slight variation of Chris's Nibble Me This recipe for stuffed pork chops
http://www.nibblemethis.com/2012/05/grilled-stuffed-pork-chops.html

Same marinade, just going to add some olives and prosciutto to the stuffing...

Going with some grilled naan bread and hummus for a side along with trying some grilled watermelon for the first time.

Of course this entire plan is subject to change, since I have my wife here as well as my daughter and friend who slept over last night. Not sure what their plans are, but I know at the very least the ribs will be smoked today.

@Phatchris
That's one of the best reasons to be up early

Absolutely

Update...

The ribs are going along nicely at 250-275...
Pork chops are prepped and marinating. Used red Fresno peppers. The stuffing is made and I added some Greek olive and prosciutto to it as well.

The pics...

The ribs look like they are snuggling up together in the egg. How romantic.

hapster

Here the ribs are as of a few min ago...

Ribs done... Super juicy and tender with just enough pull.
Had a few for a pre dinner snack and will have the rest tomorrow for lunch.
