I'm retarded.........

SmokinParrotHead

Something just occured to me.....I picked up six racks of baby backs for the game tomorrow.....no problem there. I also picked up a $hit load of jalepenos for ABT's, that awesome too......HOWEVER.....where the heck am I gonna put the ABT's to cook with 6 racks of ribs indirect in a rib rack?

Any of you creative guys or girls got an idea?

Desert Oasis Woman

:unsure: on the platesetter??

Hoss

OVEN! :woohoo: :laugh: Or Do you still have your trusty ol Weber? :huh: Or go Caveman,build a fire on the ground and pioneer em!

Hmmmm...

Start the ribs as usual. When time comes to foil them, put them in the oven instead, freeing up the Egg to cook the ABTs. When the ABTs are done, put the ribs back on the Egg?

ABTs as appetizers, ribs after?

Bash

I like Michelle's idea, but at rib temp, the ABTs will take quite a while.

Another idea is to put the ABTs on after the ribs come off. Then you will have a second wave of egg goodness for your guests.

I look forward to the creative ideas that others will post.

Ripnem

That is what I would do.

I am leaning towards that Michelle.....I do have a gasser....but really didn't want to do the ABT's there. Yeah we had planned on the ABT's as an appetizer.

Do you do the foil method I guess? I was gonna do CWM's, but I guess I may have just changed my mind on that.

Rolling Egg

Sounds to me like you have a great reason to go buy another egg!

SmokinParrotHead

LMAO!! I just presented my wife with the problem....and I said "where the hell am I gonna cook the ABT's..." and she said, AND I QUOTE "I don't know honey.....another grill?"

So of course I then asked "so you are saying I can get another egg?"........

She laughed.......that is like a yes isn't it?????

Bash

My wife fought the first egg for about a year. She OK'd the second egg just months after the first. :woohoo:

I brought up a third when I saw a deal for a large (new from dealer going out of business), but she convinced me we could get by on the XL and medium. :( :pinch: :S

Not usually (on the foil), but in this case I would consider it since it would let you do the ABTs. I normally do CWMs method for babybacks.

Bash does raise a good point about the temperature - you'd have to crank it up for the ABTs to get the bacon done and then do something (add water to the drip pan?) to cool it back down to finish the ribs. But there you're just setting the bark, so if the Egg didn't cool back down to the initial temp quickly enough, it wouldn't be as critical. Just watch the bark to make sure it doesn't get too dark....

What about like I did tonight on my post? If you foil them wait till then to putthe peppers on. After you take the ribs out of the foil it doesnt really hurt to half stack them as they will be twisted anyway and not lay real flat to start with. If you don't foil you can still sort of lump the ribs up the last hourish and put the peppers around the edge that way they will cook quicker.

Chef Wil got 20 racks of ribs cooked all at the same time on a large. I imagine that you could stack the ribs up like he did and have plenty of room for the ABTs. The link was just posted the other day so it shouldn't be too far back.

Cory430

Or you could put another grate on top of the ribs and put the ABTs on there.

Your subject line pi$$es me off. You should be fired from the forum. :evil:

Poor choice of words. If I were you I'd be embarrassed.

WokOnMedium

That was my first thought! "Go get another Egg! Its early."

SmokinParrotHead

I knew when I saw that Sarah Palin had posted here that I was in trouble. Who knew she used a BGE? :evil:

Little Steven

I'm not thrilled with your choice of words either. If you are goin to foil the ribs why not do the foil stge in the oven, do the abt's, and then finish the ribs on the egg with the abt's warming in the oven. Or serve them when done.

Actually, the word retarded is not a bad word. It comes from the word , retard, which means slow. Some people use it incorrectly, though. A letter to our paper (after the Palin blowup) was from a teacher who had a student with Down's Syndrome. One day he told her, "Mrs. Brown, I'm retarded, not stupid".

SmokinParrotHead

I think that is what I am gonna do. I wasn't going to foil them....but due to the ABT's I am going to. I was gonna let them smoke for 3 hrs, them foil them with brown sugar and honey, pop them in the oven at 275, and let them go about 90 minutes. Sound like a plan?

Try learning from other's mistakes. I am on the right side of the aisle, so your tagline does not offend me personally, but I find it odd you ask others for help with an offensive tagline, then compound the problem by throwing out the word retarded. Maybe you simply enjoy being an a$$.

Unknown

Placed it under the wrong post.

SmokinParrotHead

Hey anonymous.....you just used the "R" word too! :ohmy:
I, unlike the perfect and prestigious "chief" of staff......was referring to myself with the word at least....not calling others the "R" word. Does that not count for anything?? :evil:

Unknown

So calling yourself that word makes it OK? Go talk to some blacks and call yourself the "N" word, then come back here and post the results. :woohoo:

Perfect example really, anonymous, because blacks refer to themselves as "N" word all them time, as a matter of fact.....I can say that, I am black. :ohmy:

You are black and anti-Obama, and a parrot head, which I maybe incorrectly assume means you are a Jimmy Buffet fan? I highly doubt that. Even if all that is true, unless you are mentally handicapped-and that may be debatable- that does not give you the "right" to call yourself retarded.

Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker

assuming he's not black because "he's anti Obama and likes Jimmy Buffet (your words)?"

logic, please. if you can do it without digging a hole, please do.

Unknown

Not logic, statistics. Blacks vote Democrat 95 per cent of the time. Blacks support Obama with even higher numbers than that. I have been to 2 Buffett concerts and saw who was and was not there. Can I be wrong in my assumption? Certainly, but let us be realistic.
The guy simply was trying to bolster a losing argument by saying he was black.

Little Steven

Gary,

No disagreement here. Unfortunately mental retardation spawned words like retard and mental. I grew up with my kid sister being called those names. Some people sill say offensive things to her. A few people on this forum have met her and she is well behaved and doesn't jump in other peoples faces. I find the word offensive but I didn't attack the guy personnaly. Just stated the truth. Wouldn't have bothered if it wasn't in the subject line and kept jumping off the screen.

So what's he gonna do when he goes to an eggfest?
