Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and I knew we would not want turkey for both lunch and dinner so I had already planned on ribs since they were such a hit last time. As I was getting ready to head to the store, Joe, our newest resident, who has slowly been coming out of his shell, came up to me this morning and told me that he had wanted to get in on the Cornish game hens with Jake but was still not ready to be social at that time. He also asked if I would show him how to smoke. "Well, le me think about it...of course I will!"
My mistake was not buying the ribs last week. We got to the Winco and these two packs were the last two packages in the store. Period! God provides, we only need two!
So, as usual, Joe will do the work whilest I supervise/teach. Hickory chips need to soak.
Smoker needs to preheat. Since we want the smoke ring we'll use the Brinkmann today.
Mustard helps the rub stick to the ribs.
The rub gets applied.
Ribs are in and thin blue smoke is rising. Time to wait since we're doing the 3-2-1 method.
More in a couple of hours...
