Always prefer spares(price, flavor, size)
Its been several years since babybacks were in the rotation.  Had a hankering, delegated the WSM and Digi Q for today's task.  

Ripped a couple of mulberry discs with the sawzall and got things started.


In a pinch, decided to use up the rest of the pork chop rub on hand.

Set pit temp at 240, 3 hours later, foiled for an hour in a few ounces of Cherry Coke and Cider Vinegar(another technique that hasn't been done in several years), back on the grill for almost 2 hours.  Glazed last 30 min with Blues Hog Original cut with cider vinegar.  




Good thing those Yetis are easy to clean.

Was nice to rehash an overlooked cook.  

thanks

    Great looking grub brother, and on the ole Weber to boot.  Solid.

    Those bones looked like they've been hit by flesh eating beetles. Sign of some tasty protein. Jam up job dude.

    When something looks that awful, you need to send them to me. I will dispose of them personally, at no charge. Also, please send the side dishes, utensils and napkins, so I can make sure, all is taken care of properly. J/K!!! Looked killer, and honestly, I would still be gnawing on the rib bones!!!

    The ole WSM will sure turn out some fine grub. I have never tried a controller though. I guess I'm either stuck in my ways or a glutton for punishment. Again, great looking grub my friend.

    Thanks again Scotty.  Pound for pound, it is a phenomenal cooker.  Actually prefer Q off it, over the eggs.  Efficient, with lots of air moving through using the Piedmont Pan (waterless) mod.

    The egg comes in handy though, convenient, and gets the nod in cold and/or windy weather conditions.  Nice to have options here in the winter.  IMHO, an ATC on the egg is overkill if you build the right fire and run it 250 minimum.  Seems like my snuffed fire issues were when I tried to run overnighters at 220.

    I will be using my DigiQ2 next weekend because I'm cooking butts for 100-120 people.  I'm figuring 30 lbs.  I'm pretty confident I can go "Old School", but I'm using the DigiQ2 because I'll never hear the end of it if there's a screw-up.

    A good insurance policy Fred.  Running a little hotter on butts is too.  Had a couple of close calls myself.  Fortunately, caught them in time.
