Weekday Ribs!

[Reds Fan 5]

​ ​ Final results: Ribs were on point. Finished with Sweet Baby Ray’s. Mac n cheese was fine, not memorable. I mixed it early because I was cooking in between work projects. It got too dry. Good flavor, though.

Had baked beans as the second side.

Night capped off with a 6-1 Reds victory. Reds still holding on to a playoff spot.

Looks great!

Love working from home. Another tip...If you get up early you can have ribs for lunch!

Update...rolling along at 235-240 degrees (my kettle likes to run in that range). Another hour or so, I’d guess. Will wrap and keep warm in oven or cooler, crank up the temp and put the Mac n cheese on to smoke.

Steve R. me, too. Apple was my go to for pork. Pecan is now for pork and chicken. It is fantastic.

Pecan has become my favorite smoking wood, hands down. Your downwind neighbors should only hate you if you're not going to share!

Looking good! Post the results when you can!

I wish I could post the smell of the pecan smoke. My downwind neighbors are either going to love me or hate me!

A bonus of working from home: weekday ribs! Two slabs StL, MMD, 26” kettle, SnS, KBB, pecan chunks, temps in mid 70s, dry, light breeze. Pairing with smoked Mac n cheese and a tall Daisy Cutter.

Had difficulty finding ribs and ended up with two slabs from our local grocery store. Have never bought their ribs before. They are two of the biggest racks I’ve cooked. Stay tuned...
