Sure looks delicious! Maybe get a lounge chair for your ribs and float them around in the pool with you...maybe they'll get some color!

Thanks for the input Ryan but I wanna get some color on them, not burn them to a crisp

Awesome looking meals!
I‘m not going to mention the lack of color though…

Thanks so much and I appreciate you saving me the embarrassment by not commenting on the color

Due to your description I added it to my cart!

The sauce is really good. Problem now is that you have me looking at that knife...

Good looking meals Robert. Glad you liked the sauce! Flavor hits on alot of levels. Gonna use it on some chops tomorrow

Thanks buddy!! That sauce is fantastic!! I can see a run on that stuff coming soon. Can't wait to see those chops buddy. Can only guess they will be spectacular. BTW, we will be seeing you in a couple weeks

Robert, your steaks and ribs are off the chain. Outstanding!
The rib color looks great on my screen.
But, I've only been grilling and smoking meat for about 45 years, so I really can't give any advice on getting color on your ribs. Sorry.

Thanks so much Stu. As much as I appreciate the accolades, your post is a bit disappointing. Based on another member who is a BBQ expert with 35 years experience, I was thinking I only had 20 years of sub par Q to turn out before getting it right. Now it looks like I have 30 years or more. I'll be over 90 before I get it dialed in apparently

Robert, You're very welcome.
I totally understand your situation. However, take comfort in knowing that not only you and I, but other SMF members, have been turning out sub par Q for a much longer time. It is an injustice that by the time you have it all figured out you will be too old to hold a pair of tongs.
As I said, I am a noob too and know just enough to pose a danger to others.
I suspect that explains why my family, friends, and neighbors always have other plans when I invite them over for BBQ.

[SecondHandSmoker]

my remote thermometer burned out a 4th time

I put my therm probes in the dishwasher using the heavy duty cycle but the probes don't work afterward.
Do you think if I used the delicate cycle I would have better luck?

Stu

Stu I think you need to put them in the clothes dryer after the dishwasher...at least that is what I do.

 

[SecondHandSmoker]

Thanks Cliff.
My dryer has a steam setting. Maybe I can just do that and skip the dishwasher altogether?

Did you finally stop taking them into the pool with you to wash them?

Ryan

Wouldn't it be better to just throw them out after each use and buy new replacements? RAY

Couple of ok kind of meals there Robert, i think you are losing your touch

Yep, I might be losing it. Either these were started before the first margarita or the heat here has burnt the last few brain cells I had left.

The ribs, you should be ashamed with the colour on those

I'm ashamed, appalled, and embarrassed beyond belief. Checked the cost of shipping to Canada and it was a bit steep. those would have been some mighty expensive ribs

Fantastic Robert.

Thank you my friend, for the humor and the positive comments. It is appreciated.

Robert, you seem to use a variety of sauces both homemade and store bought. Have you ever tried YUM-YUM sauce.

Actually Chris, we use very little sauce. The best we've found is a modified version of Jeff's sauce. This is really the first I've bought in many years. As for the Yum Yum sauce, I've never tried it. Heard of it at some point but can't give any advice. Unless the stuff is really pricey, I'd say grab a bottle and give it a shot. Worse (I'm guessing) is that you'll be out a few bucks.

Great job on both the ribs & the steak Robert!
I have that sauce on our grocery list, since Jake said he thought WM carried it. If you guys are raving about it, I have to try it too!
Your photo’s are magazine quality!

Thanks so much for all the kind words Al. That sauce is really, really good. Honestly, I could see it used on many different things. As for the pics, they are just taken with an old Samsung Galaxy S8. I have discovered though the pics come out a lot better if I keep the lens clean

Looks fantastic as usual Robert. I will definitely be giving that sauce a try. Well done!

Very much appreciate the kind words Tyler. That sauce is really tasty and will work well in a variety of applications.

I take great solace from your kind, comforting, and supportive words my friend. I've come to terms with the fact that I may never live long enough to attain the elite status of some particular people. I guess I should have started when I was 11 and maybe I could be up there with the best of the best. I'm resigned to being a lifelong rookie...heavy sigh
