    Me too Mike. Baby Backs went on about 12:15 after they had a quick dance with some mustard, Swamp Venom, and John Henry's Pecan Rub. They are 2:30 in now and getting ready for their first misting of apple juice and cider vinegar.

    It's another paella day for me. no pics this time as they all start to look the same and since I'm just using a cookbook I probably shouldn't post the recipe anyway.

    Nice to see your famous ribs Mike!

    Car Wash Mike,[p]Yep, my brother (close to you, in St. Louis told me about the weather forecast there) Friday and we are supposed to get to the upper 70s again today....[p]

    I'd like to... the only recipe I have noted is the 3-1-1.[p]Goes something like:
    3 hours at 250. 1 hour wrapped in foil. 1 hour indirect at 250-260*.[p]What do you think? Is the 3 hours indirect as well like you have picured?[p]What is the aluminum covering?[p]What mustard/rubs/DP, wood do you recommend?[p]I also have 2 more in the freezer - I'm thinking of doing two racks tonight then frigging/freezing/vacuum sealing what's left...[p]-Jeeves

    Is that the skin? Looks like you scored it. Any real advantages?

    Car Wash Mike,
    I wonder why I can't see any of your pics. Any idea?

    My dome temp hasn't gotten above 230. The technique you posted should work fine. I usually don't foil but my quests coming over for the next game like fall off the bone, I might foil 1 slab.
    I use DP orginal with apple or cherry wood.
    I think bumping the temp up on the last 45 minutes-1 hour of my cook is what really makes the ribs tender.

    I did score it, a lesson off the pages of WessB's cooks page. Under his pulled pork. He says it allows the rub to penetrate the meat a little better. His tips usually provide real good results. I rubed this one with Dizzy Dust and Swamp Venom, I'll let you know how it comes out.

    Marty,

    What size cooker are you using for the pork roast there? Is it a Small?

    I'm still trying to convince myself I need another BGE. I've already got my sights on an XL for the EggFest, and am trying to justify an additional BGE smaller than my LBGE.

    Thanks!

    Hi Mike

    I just put a 7# and a 9# Boston butts on the grill. Jan is just finishing 2-3 doz drumettes. Great weather today. John and I were talking yesterday and mentioned that you were having good luck with a new lump. What are you using and where can it be purchased? ($--?) Have you heard from the post office?

    Enjoy your ribs.

    This is my Med. I started out with an XL and decided on a Med not long after. I use the med more than the xl, I looked at the small at the time but it was just too small for what i wanted to to with it. HTH

    A medium, eh? I'm looking at something to work with the LBGE at the moment.

    Thanks!

    Car Wash Mike,[p]Not me...have been fighting a cold for over 10 days now...[p]I think I am just going to sit and have a few beers..
  • Car Wash Mike,
    I made a slab of babybacks last night. My best one's yet! I used a big 'ol honkin' chunk of cherry and a few smaller chunks of hickory. 3-1-1 method. Good stuff! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and dem ribs! Go Titans!

  • Jeeves,
    Saludos my fellow Austinite! I did a slab of babybacks yesterday. Here's my 2cents: 3 hours indirect at 250, flip and turn every hour and spritz w/ a 50/50 mixture of apple juice & apple cider vinegar. Foil for an hour w/ a generous spritzing in the foil. Place meat side down during the foil hour so the meat sits in the juice/vinegar. last hour remove the foil and finish bone side down. You can go direct for the last hour but I'm usually too lazy to bother removing the platesetter. Oh yeah you'll also want to use a drip pan w/ a little bit of applejuice in it so the drippings from the ribs won't burn.
    I've found cherry to work very nicely with ribs. Yesterday I did mostly cherry with a little hickory. As far as a rub, I made my own Memphis style dry rub from a recipe I found on Whiz's site (In Wise One's big egg cookbook, if I recall correctly). Whatver rub you end up using make sure you coat the ribs with plain ol yellow mustard before you put the rub on. Good luck and enjoy that pork! Go Titans![p]

  • We did scallops and shrimp for dinner,and while the Egg was still hot, I cooked four big fat boneless chicken breasts that had marinated in curry for a few hours, for my wife to cut up and take for work lunches this week. The weather was marvelous here in the DC area today.

    Ya' gotta' love the Midwest. I'll take the ice and snow over mudslides, wild fires, and hurricanes any day.
