I fired up the Mini-WSM for some 2-2-1 Baby Backs


Not so TBS , still warming up. Kingsford Briquettes and apple wood chunks.


I bought some ribs and some butts at our  restaurant wholesale Cash and Carry.  I put the butts in the freezer and one rack of ribs. These will get halved to fit in the Mini-WSM. The rub is concoction of my own that I put on pork.


One half of one rack I injected with the ACID RAIN Habanero Fire Water!!! Those will be mine...

These should be done at 6:30 PST. It's currently 25*F outside and sunny, no wind.

MMMM liking the sound of that Acid Rain! Why did you have to wait until I'm a zillion miles away when you fix Ribs?
 
Okay on to phase 2 The foil! just a little apple juice for 3 of the halves. The injected gets Acid Rain and two sliced jalapenos in the wrap!

Smoker has been running at 235*F with TBS. Hope these are done by 6:30, Might be 7:00!

Simmering down some Sauce for the next phase. Ketchup, apple cider vinegar, molasses, Guldens spicy mustard, honey, brown sugar fresh garlic, some other spices, and a Thai Chile (have to keep it tame the kids are eating it too...)


Thought I took a picture of the Acid Rain jalapeno wrap , but I guess I forgot. Was having some issues with the crappy dollar store tin foil!


Little Thai Chile swimming around in there!

I still think you ought to build one of these and start tailgating down there! I'm thinking ribs might be a good option for Paulina next year! I'm sure between the two of us we can feed a flock of Coots!

If I were not working 12 hours, 7 days a week, maybe I could. Doubt we would have any Coots that would turn down a smoked meat feast on the mountain. I'm having fun with the sausage making, that may be my contribution to the Paulina Lake glutton fest

Okay here's the Grand Finale!


Left to right. One boy wanted no sauce, so that is the first set of ribs. Top is the Hotter than Hell

They were so good!!!

Plated, with twice smoked taters and re-heated green beans ( normally would do fresh, but we had some left over, so not quite as green!)

So after 6 hours +/- Temp outside is 21* and here is what is left in the smoker.



Sorry for the blurry picture,  but the flash picture just showed grey briquettes!

That's why I always have to do several batches, only myself and the fiancee eat the hot stuff!!! She doesn't eat pork, which is fine by me, I get it all!!!
 
Just saw this. I'm with you on having to make my own food separate usually when others are gonna eat. So how did the hot ribs turn out? They really look good!
Super good! Injecting the fire water, and using it during the foil was the Bomb!!! Thanks again for the Habaneros!!!!
 
Did my last check for the night, Only a few briquettes left, 7 hours of heat and smoke on the mini-wsm before it burnt through everything. /not bad for being 25* or less! Can't wait to see how it burns in warmer weather!!
