Howdy all,
Well...got the smoker all seasoned today while doing fall work. Played with the temp settings and man...even the smoke smelled so good that the neighbor came over to see what I was cooking! LOL. I think its going to be a lot of fun when I get going with this. Anyway...my son and I had a blast the other night making Jeffs rub and sauce. I was talking to him about eating more vegatables and he said, Dude I am a carnivor...I need meat! LOL We had a great time together and am hoping to spend more time with him in helping him also become a rib spe******t! Tonight we pulled out the ribs, removed the membrane and lathered them up with the rub. They are now in bed in the fridge all 8 lbs and are hitting the smoker tommorrow noon. I even took the day off work for my first adventure with the smoker! I'll be using the 2-2-1 method. Whats everyone think...2 hours smoke or watch for 1/4 inch pull back....wrap in foil splash some apple juice on and let'er buck for an additonal two hours and then finish off with Jeffs sauce for the last hour or so unwrapped? How long should I smoke? I was going to smoke for the first two hours ?! Here's some shots of the rub, sauce and the ribs ready for the overnight session in the fridge. Thanks all.
