Boy its windy today, had some gusts over 50 mph at first light. Glad I got the stinky shack, cuz the ribbs I rubbed up last night woulda never got into that charbroil silver smoker on a windy day like today. Kinda hard to get a pic of the TBS, but its there. Doing 2 racks of beef spareribs, and 2 racks of BB pork ribs. All were rubbed with Jeff's naked rib rub, except I changed part of the recipe to turbinado sugar instead of what his recipe called for. Smoker is holding well at 215-225, and I am using chunks of wood that I threw out in the wet snow a couple days ago to get wet. They are pieces that I cut from apple and cherry trees. They are working well.
I cut the big beef ribs into 2-3 bone sections, and then laid them in the rib rack with the bones running horizontally, the bones were too long to stand up the regular way. I have 4 sections in the rack with the remaining 2/3 of a rack, laying on top like a roof. They have been on for 2 hrs now and look great. The bb ribs are in a roll with a skewer again,I really like the way they turned out last week.I will gets some pics of the smoke and the finished product before they dissapear for dinner.

Sounds like ya got some weather headed your way. Ya might need to run a mooring line betwixt the back door and the stinky shack, then tie a rope around your waist with a carbiner on the end to clip yourself to the mooring line. Wind might blow ya around but won't blow ya away.

Looking forward to the q-vue!

Here is a pic at the 3 hr mark

I have gone from the spud holder to the chunk-o-wood for my probe. I foiled the bb's after the pick, and the beefies a half hour later.

And here is the final pick just before dinner with baked potatoes corn and bisquits(out of pic).

After they came off the smoker, I let them rest for about 20 min. The bb's started to rip in the pic, seems like they like to stay curled up!

.

The beef ribs were not as tender, but had more meaty taste than the pork. Both were devoured pretty quickly. We ate about half of the whole batch between 4 of us. There was only about half of the beef ribs in the pic. The others were still in the foil till dinner was over. I just peeled em off the bones, and stored the rest in the fridge. Happy with the experiment, but I would probably not buy these beef ribs again, just too much bone to meat ratio, but for .99 a lb, not too big of a deal.


Thanks to the folks who piped in with feedback on the beef ribs.
Jeffs rub was great, I am glad I made a double batch.

You COULD have saved the bones and tossed em into a stockpot...getting another meal out of 'em :{)
