Homeward Bound

[onoku]

My tour of duty in Iraq is coming to an end, which means by this time next week, hopefully I will be firing up my smoker. This will be my second smoke (I purchased my WSM while I was home on R&R) and I am stoked! My first smoke turned out quite well and I was quite happy to find that it even made the banner. I want to go with a different recipe this time. I have a few books at home to go through, but if anyone has some great go to recipes for pork ribs, I'd be glad to hear them. Regardless of what I decide to make though, I am just excited to be going home. I can't wait to crack open a Yeungling and get smokin'!

Glad to hear your about to head home and THANK YOU for your service. Are you going to do baby backs or regular spare ribs?

 

[onoku]

Thanks, Piney. I am going with spare ribs, I have always preferred them.

Thanks you VERY much for your service. May you have a safe and uneventful last week of your tour and trip home.

Last time I made ribs I used this Bobby Flay recipe and it was AWESOME. A number of guests said they were the best ribs ever and I have to say they were pretty spectacular.

The one modification was that I did these 3-2-1 method and spritzed them with apple juice when I foiled them. The last 30 minutes they spent on the grill on medium getting glazed with the maple syrup/horseradish/dijon baste. They were dark and crusty on the outside and fall off the bone tender and juicy inside.

Onoku, Morning. Thanks for you service.

If I lived in Georgia........ I would personally deliver a case to your door.....in a cooler........on ice......with a lawn chair attached.....to keep the WSM company during the smoke.

 

[onoku]

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I am home and today I am cranking up the WSM. I'll be making Stout-Spiked Spareribs. Got the recipe out of a grilling magazine by Better Homes and Gardens. They have had a few winning recipes for me already. In about 10 hours, be looking for a new post with my results! Lots of Q-view to follow!
