Tonight I have a rare night off work right in the middle of my normal work nights. I'm staying up to keep my schedule of course, and what better thing to occupy my time than smokin some meat??
I found a nice deal on a rather large rack of beef spare (back) ribs. Packaged in one long rack like pork instead of the more common smaller chunks. I can only assume it was trimmed off a rib roast. CAB Angus, $3.09/lb. I'm not complaining.
Here it is in the package:
And on the plate:
Salted for approx 2hrs, then a light spritz of Pam and generous amount of Big Bad Beef Rub. Yes I had to clean the messy table.
Meanwhile, smoker preheated with a chimney of charcoal starting my ash wood fire.
Water pan under it as a buffer. Some pecan and red oak chunks to add to the ash, but I'm not sure it will make a big difference in flavor since the fire is 99% ash logs, but what the hey.
Here it lies to do its thing.
