So we have had rainy/cloudy weather for a bout a week and a half same thing yesterday but I had the itch bad. Since I got my CC Flat top I haven’t usedh WSM. I went through the freezer and pulled out a rack of St. Louis ribs and a random piece of beef roast I used for kabobs. I also went to meijer and grabbed a chicken (at this point my mind was all over the place. I just wanted to smoke anything haha. Got my WSM going with embers charcoal and some apple chunks under the charcoal. Sprinkled some pectin chips on top (no real reason for this) the. I seasoned the ribs up with some brown sugar, paprika, garlic and onion powder and threw them on. Saved some of the seasoning for the chicken, rubbed a little on it and threw that on a few hours into the ribs cooking.
Those were cooking and the random piece of beef I found was thawed out so I rubbed that with some Hardcore Carnivore black and threw it on to join the others
Started getting crowded
After that I started going through the fridge and saw I had half a pack of Velveeta white queso cheese. I’ve never smoked queso before so I gave it a shot. Cut it up into squares, added some cubes cheddar cheese, diced up about 1/4 of an onion, 1 jalapeño, half a can of Rotel, and added some ground beef and tossed it on with the rest. (At this point I almost had to use the bottom rack of my 22” WSM. I Didnt but it was crowded.
At this point the chicken and ribs were getting some nice color. And queso starting to melt.
The beef didn’t take too long to cook, I think it was about 2 hours and I pulled it a little late at about 143*. It turned out decent but I wasn’t expecting much.
Next to come off was the queso that turned out really good. We all like it. Next time I would use more jalapeños and probably the”Hot” rotel.
After I mixed it up
The ribs came off next and we ate that for dinner (I didn’t get any pics of that but they were good too all my picky kids ate them which is ways good when that happens.
The chicken 9lbs I think, threw me for a loop. I was planning on around 3 hours but it ended up taking about 5. Smoker was at 275* once I threw the chicken on, once I pulled the ribs I added some charcoal and brought it up to about 325* and skin turned out great. Here are the finished pics of the bird.
All in all it was a good day, a little rain on and off but the kids were able to go outside for a little bit. And I even had time to take my daughter to shoot for the first time. (She wasn’t a fan, sh just turned 12). Thanks for looking!
