No no not from scratch.
So the other day I did what I termed YOLO ribs (see https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...43#post1048243), so named because I just didn't feel like pulling out the new Smoke grate probe, etc. In fact, I didn't even really trim these. I'd gotten this rack ofSL ribs for $2.99/lb and felt like eating them, so I lit coals as I usually do, added more to the SNS when the first 10 or so were asked over, plopped wood on and added the ribs.
But... no temp monitoring. I checked once after 2 hours and then again at 4 (they were done about 30 mins later.
They were tasty. And all without the gadgets that we've all fallen for. I think there's a lesson there, but I don't have a beer so who knows?
Oh and the microwave part? Well, we sometimes talk a bunch about the best way to reheat leftover 'que and there's a lot of fancy stuff mentioned - sous vide, foil at a low temp, etc. But I wanted the ribs I'd not eaten the other night for lunch today. So.. onto a plate. 3 mins in the microwave. Boom, done. and you know what?
They were fine.
I'm as much of a gadget guy as many, but this whole thing reminded me that if you have a little knowledge of your gear and the basics of technique, you can turn out really tasty food with a very minimum of fuss.
