cannot wait! God Bless Bonsey!
Like the idea of makin this an annual event.Comment

I am in, will gladly smoke some racks, even though no one at my house can taste yet! Neighbors will enjoy some of them bones.Comment

I guess its time to do a freezer dive and select between baby backs and spares, and get them thawing for Saturday...
All I have are multipacks, and its just the wife and me here, unless she gets some of the kids to drop by. I'll man up and eat ribs for a couple of days in honor of Bonesy if I have to though!
EDIT:
Turns out I had two packs of Sam's Club spares in the deep freeze, each appeared to contain two full slabs of spare ribs, so one went to the garage fridge to a defrost. On Friday I'll butcher them down to St. Louis cut, and on Saturday the spares and the rib tips go on the smoker. Still planning to do it on the Performer just to give the kettle some action in honor of Bonesy, and I'll put the rib tips on an elevated rack, for an early cook's treat.Last edited by jfmorris; March 15, 2022, 02:01 PM.Comment

klflowers Thanks for asking. Yvonne is doing absolutely great. Discharged by the orthopedic surgeon, walking great with no cane even. A far cry from where she spent half of last year. Between cancer, the busted femur and 5 surguries in 18 months, it was a hard go of it from Memorial Day 2020 to around January or so of this year, but God and good doctors got her through it.Last edited by jfmorris; March 15, 2022, 04:27 PM.

Looks like I have one baby back and one St Louis cut for Bonesy.
Think about all that smoke that will be making its way to his heavenly clime!

I've seen a couple comments in here about folks posting their cooks here in this thread. Might I respectfully suggest that a fresh thread just for the cooks be set up on the day? Just strikes me as being cleaner overall, since we'll be well over 200 posts by Saturday... Just a thought.

I do tend to agree with this......however. it often confuses people on where to post. If you guys want me too, I can start a new one the day of and provide a link at the bottom of this thread. Hopefully people will catch on. RonB rickgregory Steve B -
Spinaker if you do that, it may be best to lock this one with a link in first and last post? But I also don't see a reason not to just post cooks up here. 10 years from now either options leads to people finding the correct posts I guess...

Bought some St Louis ribs from a local farmer. Prepping Friday. Looking forward to the cook... and really wish it wasn't necessary if you know what I mean.Comment

Ribs in fridge. Took out wings too, they have bones in em? Do on Kettle with Vortex. My backup for Saturday since the ribs will be done Friday. Thanks Mother Nature.Comment

I am definitely in. The 19th will be my 50th BD. We had planned a family/friends cookout, just something small. Serving SL ribs, rib tips, chix quarters, pulled pork and various fixing. I am "assisting" with the cooking as my wife and boys are taking charge
I have dedicated a liter of Buffalo Trace for the day (among other spirits) and will honor Mr. Bones at each toast of the day. Of course, a splash will find it's way into the baked beans in his honor too!
I as well didn't know Bones personally but did enjoy his companionship here in the Pit, as I enjoy all of your company.
To Mr. Bones, Salute

I'm on trial this week and living out of a suitcase in Tarrytown, NY. No time to thaw wibs from the freezer. Also, I've been volunteered to cook corned beef for belated Paddy's day on Saturday. I might be able to do a rack of bones on Sunday, though.Comment

Of all the excuses. Belated bones are just as welcomed!

Pretty sure Mr. Bones won't mind, as long as there is good food, good tunes, and even better people.

My rack o'SLCs came out of the chestie and into the fridge this morning... and we've got some pretty darned good wx on tap too. Bring it on!Comment

Will be on Spring break with daughter & friends firing up the GMG pizza oven. Always loved Bones’ rants & one-liners.Comment

In Mr. Bones ‘s first post he mentioned he was a banjo player.â€Yes, I do / can play banjo, in case any of y'all was thinkin' of a comment. Guitar, harpoonicus, bass, as well, even washtub, spoons, and washboard. An' more,†As a fellow banjo player this was the first song that came to mind on reading of his passing and I thought I would share it with those close to him:
