This is my first "Show Us What Your Cooking" post. It's a beautiful day in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is currently 65 degrees. Today I am going to smoke some Beef Ribs and some Baby Back Ribs on my new 22.5 WSM. The rub I am using for the beef ribs is Fat Boy's Prime Angus Rub and I am using Three Little Pigs BBQ rub for the Baby Backs. I found that I can control the temp pretty good on the 22.5 WSM by using the Soo's Donut method of controlling the fire. The ribs are on and I will check in about 3.5 hours. I plan to keep the temp at around 225 235 degrees. I have posted some pics of the journey so far. More to come.
Hope everyone is having a good holiday so far!
Ribs, beef and pork, turned out fantastic. They both were done in 3.5 hours which surprised me. I thought at least 4 to 5 hours. I kept a constant temp of between 225 and 235 degrees as planned. I have posted pics of the final product.

Jerod Broussard SRF tallow is expensive. I get my lard and tallow from Fannie and Flo on www.etsy.com . You can request spacial order. And they always include at least a pound of sample of any of their other fats
Six pound Easter ham from the pasture-raised heirloom breed pig bought and processed in February. We had the processor give us smaller hams, so we didn't have to deal with a 20 pound ham. Home cured.
BigPoppa drum smoker, Kingsford original, Memphis Dust, and Lilly's Apricot glaze.
1st image is trimmed ham before cure, second is after cure and dusted, third is just
off the smoker.

Singapore-style Chicken Satay with peanut sauce, served wrap style with jasmine rice on butter lettuce leaves. (Used boneless, skinless thighs, which grill so well)
First time, doing this and I'm going to make a few tweaks to the recipes for the paste/marinade and the sauce. Needs a little more tamarind, a little less sugar, and I need to find some galangal to go traditional instead of substituting ginger, but this was good and better than anything we've had in Thai restaurants.
Looks awesome. I have never found galangal our kaffir lime leaves. I guess I could get them in NYC Chinatown, but I don't get there much anymore. The suburban markets I have gone to have never had them.

It seems most of the better resturants are using brioche buns. They are very appealing to the eye and with all that butter in the dough they are very tasty.
I fed some friends today that had never even heard of Meathead's Steakhouse Steakburgers. I baked the buns and made the patty's and they said it was the best hamburger they had ever eaten.
