Decided to do a Dude’s Day BBQ, no women or children… let it all hang out. I smoked 8 racks of trimmed spares with mesquite and cherry chunks with my usual 3 chile rub, leaving ½ of a rack that only had salt, CBP and garlic to smoke without the foiling. The 8 racks of spares just fit onto two of my GOSM wire racks. I smoked the 10 chicken quarters separately because I was going to use just cherry wood. I let the chicks soak in buttermilk overnight for a nice tang but moist taste, and afterwards I rinsed them in cold running water. I then dusted them with salt, CBP and garlic, and smoked them at 375° for 1 1/2 hrs. This gave me the crispy skin, so then I dropped the temp to 225° until internal temp hit 170° and then I took them out to rest for a short time. I made my Georgia baked beans on the DO sitting on top of my charcoal chimney. I first crisped up the bacon, I then removed the bacon and added diced onion and red and green bell peppers to sauté for awhile. Finally I added the beans, bacon and diced peaches into the DO. I put the DO into the smoker for 3 hours using the same mesquite and cherry wood before putting the lid on it. That single ½ rack of spares I smoked without any foil, it had flavor but you also needed to really tug on it to get a bite. I didn’t get any real plated pictures, as the guys were too hungry to wait. The Georgia baked beans are a variation of Dutch’s wicked baked beans. Gloria made a potato salad and took care of the chips, fresh from the garden salsa, and the table setting. Thanks for checking out the view. My buds can drink like they can eat, so the next Dude’s Day BBQ is on hold until further notice… got bail $$$?
