Needing a charcoal grill in addition to my wonderful OK Joe Highland
Hello fellow folks of the smoke! With help here I've become a passable smoker of wonderful meats such as pork loin, butts, and beef roasts. I could NOT have done what I've done without your all's help and I've recommended this fine forum to others often. I've heavily modified my affordable OK...- Tallbald

Found baby back ribs for $1.50 a pound at Kroger
They were, as I said, delicious. I saved all my carbs for the day's rib meal. Skipped the baby bakers in butter as my wife got to enjoy. I'm limited to 50 carbs a day for the forseeable future, and have to lose a total of around 100 pounds, because of spinal troubles that can't be surgically... -

Found baby back ribs for $1.50 a pound at Kroger
Oh my they are great! Can't photo them because the camera is acting odd when I try to load the photos.. But they turned out wonderful, thanks to the folks here. I did go to Kroger this morning and asked if they had more $1.50 a pound baby backs, but the butcher went in the back came out and said... -

Found baby back ribs for $1.50 a pound at Kroger
No no! I'm not MIA. My virginal smoking of ribs happens today, Sunday the 20th. Beautiful outside. So so many wonderful ideas to jot down. I conferred with my beloved wife Penny (I really do mean that. We are as bonded a couple as I have ever met in my almost 60 years) and asked what SHE thought... -

Found baby back ribs for $1.50 a pound at Kroger
Smoking naked is one thing but I found out early in marriage that frying bacon naked isn't a good idea. These are the first ribs I will have ever done. Hadn't yet heard of the 2-2-1 approach. I do have real butter, honey and light brown sugar here. Would that combo still be fine with Sweet Baby... -

Found baby back ribs for $1.50 a pound at Kroger
Bought 5 racks, as their regular cost was $3.49 to $3.99. Planning my first rib smoke for two racks on Sunday when the weather is supposed to cooperate. I expect I'll try the 3-2-1 method I read so much about, but will review things before beginning. I'll be using wood only i my Highland offset... -

Thickening my favorite vinegar mop/dip recipe?
Here's my long liked recipe. I use for dipping and injecting, and mopping some too. Almost water thin. But I want it to be a little thicker so it stays on the meat better when at the table. I don't want to change the flavor except maybe to make it a little hotter. Is there an ingredient I can...- Tallbald

May have to finish smoke in oven. Wrap or not? Want bark.
Sorta success. At the 11 hour mark the large butt was only 190 degrees IT. The smaller one was 180. Started to rain some, pulled both for a stay in the oven at 250 for 1 hour. No real IT rise. Son was happy with the texture and flavor of the large butt (the one he bought) and took it home... -

Excellent. Thank you everyone for sharing. I'm in the stall now. The IT of the larger 11 pound butt, located at the 275 degree end of my cook chamber is 167 at the 7 hour mark, while the smaller, 9 pounder is 158 degrees at the 260 or so end of the CC. Looks like I may be ablt to hit 205 or so... -

Actually my son I think assumed the smoke would be done. He is familiar though with the "stall" from smoking a little himself and the nature of the butt. They may be eating late. I never promised him a rose garden (grin). Don -

May have to finish smoke in oven. Wrap or not? Want bark.
Thanks folks. If I have to oven finish the two butts I shall take the plunge and bake finish them unwrapped. Maybe reduce my heat to 310 or so also. Also, a light brushed outside coat of canola oil and the same vinegar-based dip as used for injecting, before placing in the oven to hopefully... -

I offered to my adult son that I was smoking a butt today and that if he'd like one smoked for himself to grab a nice one at Kroger on sale. "Sure Pop Thanks!" What he brought was an 11 pound big fella. Last night he said he was having company at 6:30 today (day of smoke) and hoped his would be...
