Second Annual “Mr. Bones, These Bones Are For You” Memorial Cook; March 24-26, 2023

[RichieB]

Weather is not promising. Sunday looks like the best shot. If not, Monday it is. I need to get something to cook. I used the 2 racks last weekend for my guests. I looking for a beef rib. Tomorrow I'll heading to a grocery shop that usually has a good selection and nice quality.

[Steve B]

Monday works too. No limits here Richie.

[Spinaker]

Gonna be smoking up plenty of ribs at syrup camp this weekend! Looking forward to honoring the man, the myth the legend....Mr. Bones.

[Steve B]

Heck yeah John. looking forward to a fantastic weekend in Sir Bones's memory.

[Michael_in_TX]

I've got 60% of rain on Friday and 40% chance of rain on Sunday, none on Saturday....so Saturday it is. Still debating what rub to use....

[Alan Brice]

MMD and or Richard Chrz has a wonderful pork rub! (Fairchild Kitchen) LaCrosse, WI

[Davek8282]

I'm going to have to do my cook either next week or the following weekend. I am out of town this weekend due to a prior commitment.

[Steve B]

No worries. Like I said. We're not going anywhere. Plus, it will help to keep the thread going for others to possibly join and add their cooks.

[Bogy]

Going to be beautiful weather here this weekend, in the 40's. I'll be at the lake house, and I think I have a couple of baby backs there. I don't think anyone beside me and the wife, and the guy delivering my new lawn tractor will be there this weekend, so it will be a great time to cook them.

[Steve B]

Sounds like a perfect weekend. By the lake, cooking ribs, with just the wife. Nice and peaceful.

[Draznnl]

A rack of St.Louis ribs is in the fridge defrosting. I'm planning on cooking it Saturday, Friday if it's defrosted by then.

[Sweaty Paul]

Absolutely in. Mr. Bones was one-of-a-kind. Was glad to have known him.

[Steve B]

Excellent Paul. Glad you're joining in on this special occasion.

[Michael_in_TX]

Picked the ribs up this afternoon. (Didn't want to run the risk of them running out on Friday.) There are two slabs here, stacked.



I'm leaning towards a very Texas-style cook....dalmation rub and trimming the ribs the way Matt Pittman (Meat Church) and others do, which is basically removing the chime bone, but leaving the rib tips attached.

And, of course, cooking them in the rib machine: The PBC.

Now to spend the rest of the week fretting about what wood to use lol.

[Panhead John]

Weird Michael, I’m doing mine the same way, just salt and pepper…and in the Bronco!…….😱 woo woo [hickory]

[Mosca]

I’m probably going to get lazy and buy a rack already trimmed to St Louis cut. But I was thinking the same, just Dalmatian rub.

[Dewesq55]

Panhead John - ribs and hickory love each other. I will be using a slightly modified BBBR on the beefies and post oak in the cooker for smoke.

[Panhead John]

This’ll be my rub…..I’d never bought this pepper before but I’m really liking it! It’s my go to now for most of my cooks.

[Dewesq55]

I use my Männkitchen Pepper Cannon wide open then turned back 1 half turn. It makes copious amounts of coarse black pepper in a flash.

[Michael_in_TX]

Okay, this is getting a little weird. On Friday, I am driving to Academy to pick up that exact bottle of 16 mesh. (They don't have it at my HEB, although they have nearly everything else Bolner's makes.)

[Panhead John]

[insert Rod Serling intro here] This IS weird Michael. 😂 Just an FYI, but Walmart sells that pepper too, which is where I bought mine.

[Jfrosty27]

I’ve got the beef short plate ribs thawed and ready to go. Weather this weekend is going to be hit or miss according to the forecast as it stands right now. But I will get them done for sure Just not locked in to the actual day.

[Dewesq55]

I put my beefies in the fridge to start thawing today.

[DaveD]

Forecast here is for a front moving in from the south starting tomorrow (Thurs) afternoon, and it will be rainy right through until the wee hours of early Sunday morning. So it looks like I'll be going on Sunday afternoon with this beauty:

[Steve B]

Sunday here as well Dave.

[DavidNorcross]

Getting my ribs tomorrow. Planning on cooking Sunday.

[DaveD]

SUNday, SUNday, SUNday!

[Donw]

Our east coast weather definitely is pointing to Sunday as the day to do the ribs.

[Dewesq55]

As Donw said, the forecast is for rain on Saturday and nicer weather on Sunday. Looks like Sunday for me and my beefies.

[SheilaAnn]

I was not able to get the lamb I wanted. Boo! And my work schedule got flipped. I will still put something together!

[Steve B]

I’m sure you’ll come up with something special. I have faith in you.

[ofelles]

Pulling the ribs from the freezer tomorrow and will cook on the LSG Sat or Sun.

[Red Man]

I just got an order of Creekstone stl cut ribs today. I know Bones was a big Creekstone fan and I’ve never tried their ribs, so I thought this would be a great time to try them! I’ll likely be cooking them Saturday.

[Steve B]

You won’t be disappointed. Everything I’ve gotten from them has been excellent.

[DaveD]

What Steve said. Very high quality, you'll love 'em!
