Mini ribfest at the canugghouse

Canugghead

Celebrated Labour Day a day early. Six racks of St. Louis ribs from the freezer, cooked modified APL way in pellet pooper. No close up money shot but it had decent smoke ring,  smokey and pull-off-the-bone nice. Finished almost three racks and distributed the rest. Excuse the photo dump.
(The dark areas are not burnt, they're drippings from rack above, looks ewww but tastes just fine)

You always bring it in great style.  What a banquet.  I would crush that salmon.  Great colour (nod) on the ribs and sausages as well. 

Family does not know how well they have it!

Happy Labour (nod) Day!

Thanks for your kind comments 
@HeavyG just reminded me of how I came up with the thread title...
For years there's a ribfest at the park across from our house, we never attended until this summer. There were 5-6 vendors mostly from the US. $2 admission and $34-$38 a rack. The ribs had no smoke profile, almost like braised then thrown on roaring fire and mopped just before serving; beans were bland; cornbread was dry like cardboard. Let's just say it was our first and last experience.

and Happy Labor Day to y'all & Happy Labour Day to the canucks.

I asked @canugghead what he’d be cooking this weekend and he made it sound like it was going to be making KD or something. A banquet this is!

I truly look forward to these “photo dumps” of your family get-togethers. So much variety, flavors, etc. and others  seem to make thoughtful contributions.  

I can only imagine the moment when Canuggfam landed at that other ribfest, took a few bites, and collectively said “WTH is going on here?!?” 😅

Ribs are beautiful…but temped to go straight for dessert…berry pie and ice cream for the win.

It’s funny but I’m very drawn to the appetizer that is the smoked salmon on a cracker with some (I assume) cream cheese.  Doesn’t get much better.

Excellent. Proof that we eat ok in Canada 😳

Yes it's cream cheese spread. Capers, dill and red onion optional but they can overpower the pure salmon+cheese taste. It's from this recent batch, already distributed half the stash to family and friends.
