So i am doing ribs and wings today. Planning on doing the pork back ribs at 225 and wondering you're guys thoughts on putting the wings on with them ?? Would they end up ok ? To smokey if they are on with ribs ? And if I do cook them at 225 how long would I cook them for ?? Thanks Oh I am also smoking the bacon that has been curing for the last 8 days Today is a good day

    I think they would turn out fine.  If you are talking dome temp then I would bump it up to 250 anyway for the ribs.  I think you would be looking at somewhere in the 1.5 hour range for the wings at 250ish dome.  Ribs, wings, and bacon...definitely sounds like a great day! 


    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    A local place with a pit run by an incompetent twit added wings to their menu.  They're done the same temp as the ribs and come out fine.  To "spice" things up the chef had the brainy idea to toss the wings with a bit of Tabasco before serving.  They're now one of the best things on the menu as its hard for their crew to screw them up.

    So Baychilla, I'm assuming that you're not a fan of the BBQ joint up the road from you? I don't know, kind of get that feeling...

    Heh, not at all.  It was a roadhouse-esque place that had a pit.  The chef that re-opened it (it'd been German place since the 30s) left for her places in Napa.  The chef that took over is a guy with more a passion for schmoozing the bar than watching the kitchen.  He's managed to lose/screw up the original rib/brisket/pulled pork recipes so badly you wonder if he has taste buds.  Further when all the staff was eating the coffee ice cream before the patrons could get it his solution was to pull it from the menu rather than discipline the staff.

    To be fair we now have a dedicated BBQ place about the same distance in the opposite direction.  The food their for BBQ is much better but the service is beyond lacking.

    After an hour and a half on the egg they were not getting cooked the way I wanted. The  outside was not getting the crunch that I was going for so i moved them into the oven for 30 mins and they ended up being phenomenal !!

    sitting on the smokey grill and then crisping in the oven was great and they turned out perfect !!
    Oh and the ribs were not so bad either !!

    You should have let them go a little longer. I do wings @250 for a little more then two hours and they are crispy on the outside yet very tender and moist on the inside. I don't sauce them until they are cooked and I am serving them.
