First go at Ribs

Doing baby backs for the first time on the egg. I am full blown addicted to Eggin. Been excited to cook these babies all morning and thought I was gonna get rained out. Also got my cyberQ Xmas gift early so trying that out.

Just put em on. Rubbed em with what I had left of my home-brew rub and some Dizzy Dust.

Now it's time to "marinate" my liver.. Hmmm IPA or winter lager?? Decisions, decisions!

    You know you've been bitten by the BGE when... While running my wife somewhere today for some "had to have" last minute Xmas something we passed a rural farm with a bunch of cows (dairy/cattle/other don't ask me, they were just cows that go moo) grazing near the road and I looked at them and thought to myself of all the different cooks I could do and I said to wife, "babe, how much do you think a whole cow costs?" "STOP!!" Was her reply.

    • 1 hour unwrapped.

    BBQ is a celebration of culture in America. It is the closest thing we have to the wines and cheeses of Europe. 

    Drive a few hundred miles in any direction, and the experience changes dramatically.

    @buzd504 - it was threatening to pour earlier today and I usually sit outside with the grill to " monitor things". This really means that I sit and drink beer and read a good book while being left alone for 4-5 hrs. I can't do that in the rain. :D

    @Gdfein‌, a whole cow (dairy/cattle/other) costs much less than the sum of its parts purchased piecemeal at the meat market. Only thing is you'll need a big freezer. I say go for it! Good luck!! :D

    Money shots. Flavor was perfect. Some of the interior ribs needed a little longer.

    I went 4.5hr indirect at 250. No crutch. Sauced in last hour.

    Always thought the crutch would hurt the crisp bark I love but I'm betting it would have gotten me a little more tender overall. Family gave the effort an 8.5.

    The poppers were yummy too but so spicy. Stuffed with mix of cream cheese, shred cheddar, parm, diced cooked bacon and some seasoning.
