So it was supposed to be in the 50s with no rain or wind yesterday so I decided to uncover the offset. Planning ribs meant I needed baked beans, but when I was getting it together I realized I didn't get bell peppers at the store Thursday and I really didn't want to go out and waste gloves and a mask just for peppers. Drat!
Oh wait..
Why not use the hot and sweet pepper rings from last year? So be it...
So much for the forecast. Just as I was dumping the charcoal into the box to start the wood it started sprinkling. Oh well, I've smoked in the rain before.
It only rained lightly for about an hour. You can't tell from the pic but we're running 260 with barely visible smoke.
The ribs went in at noon and the beans around 2:30. Every thing was done by 5:30.
No I didn't forget about the ribs.
The verdict on the pickled peppers is that I'll do it again. Just enough heat to make it interesting but not too much (there wasn't anything else hot in the mix).
Thanks for looking and cook on :-)
