It was just an absolutely gorgeous day here in Northern New England. Sunny skies, temps reaching the lower 70s and barely a hint of wind. So I asked the wifey what she wanted for supper and she mentioned FOTB ribs. So who was I to argue. After a quick trip to the local grocer. I picked up some spares, brats, and a couple of chuckies. No sense in wasting good real-estate on such a beautiful day.
First things first though, before my trip to the grocer. A trip to the local True Value Hardware was in order for some much needed supplies. With a bag of charcoal, hickory and apple chunks in hand I noticed this little baby Weber grill sitting on the shelf. At first I thought it was one of those toy grills for the little munchkins. Then upon closer look I saw that it was a bird feeder. Holy Cow I said to myself. My misses would love that. So I bought it.
Kettle Bird feeder:
Old faithful holding holding my Greenie Meanie:
A couple of Chuckies. Thinner than I'd like but they'll do just fine:
The 26" is called upon for the first time this year. One hunk of Hickory and one Apple:
Seasoned the chuckies up with Jeff's Texas rub:
After a short spell. The rest of the grub is added:
Coming along nicely:
After another Meanie Greenie:
The Switchback Brats are pulled. One is sliced for a taste test - it passed:
Swapped the brats with tators, foiled the ribs and chuckies. Then unfoiled and back on the grate they went to set: also added a little sauce to the ribs per wifey's request: Hillbilly teeth, Justin would be proud.
All done:
Time to do the finger shredding:
She did say FOTB:
Clean bones:
and finally the chuckey is ready for the fridge. It will be frozen in the morning along with the brats.
Thanks for hanging with me.
I'm stuffed.
