I think I may have a problem. Is this an early warning sign? - Q-View added

[rugsrme]

I stop at the grocery store. Nobody told me I had to go. I just went, I had a list, that I made.

Dude, I've been doing the same thing!

And I really don't like grocery shopping.

Oh yeah, you've got it, and it's a problem Houston! LOL 

It's sad, as an example...I've collected everything from beer cans, coins, sports memorabilia, antlers, guns, reloaders, fished, hunted, hiked and coached for years...and on and on, but I'd have never thought I'd have such an awesome spice collection.  

Now go twist that fattie up and smoke it so you can post some Qview!   

The fattie is rolled! I think I may have used too much cheese, if that is even a possibility.

  The thick bacon could be an issue. One piece is shorter than six are wide so it didn't overlap all the way. Now my ends are exposed.

 It's been in the fridge overnight and firmed up nicely so I feel a little better about getting it out of the wrap and on the smoker than I did yesterday.

Ribs are ready to go.

 

 

Almost time to fire up the smoker. GO BUCS!!!!

The real problem is that now my wife knows I can do it.

I wouldn't worry about that, next time she sends you with a list of milk, eggs, butter etc, just come back with ribs, pork butt, and sausage and she will fire you from the shopping duties

By the way, there is no such thing as "too much cheese"!! just my $.02

Absolutely, That works every time!

My wife used to want me to go along, until she had to call security to drag me out of the meat department.

Even in the early 70s, Bill when she went---$22, Bill when I went along---$60! --- Mostly meat!

BTW: That fatty looks PERFECT !

I don't think of it as an addiction. I think of it as a lifestyle change

 

[marlin009]

Two hours in, getting ready to foil the ribs.

That sounds about right.

Here's the finished product.

Fattie outside

Fattie inside

Ohhhh man, it was soooooo good!

I'm not sure what happened to the end of that one in the middle.

We killed the fattie but have a bunch of ribs left over, not that there's anything wrong with that.

GO BUCS!!!!

Oh yeah, how 'bout them Gators!

 

[bamaboy]

WOOHOO I LOVE IT,My name is Jimmy and i have been smoking for 20 years.I am an addict.

 

[deannc]

Those ribs looks great, nice bark on them.

The fattie looks great too!  I just noticed you used thick cut bacon...no problem with that, but you may want to give the thinnest, cheapest stuff a try next time.

Thanks for the Qview!  

 

[forluvofsmoke]

Nope, I see absolutely nothing wrong here...now if you couldn't make good of that pile of meat, well, that would be a problem requiring some serious intervention! HA-HA-HA!!!

Nicely done, Marlin!

[Bearcarver]

Marlin,

You sure got this stuff down pat!

Great Job---Everything looks Perfect!

Thanks,

Bear

 

[marlin009]

Thanks for the kind words guys, I appreciate it. That was fun!

 

[rugsrme]

Looks good, I think I'm going to try tackling some ribs soon.

 

[oldschoolbbq]

   Yep,Marlin. You have what we call O.S.D. Obsesive Smoking Disorder.There is no cure for this malady. You'll find yourself back in the Market buying things to try 'Smoked',Spend MORE money on a prettier smoker, having friends over that don't usually come by ,family that depends on you for the eats,and having men(i know),stop you and ask what cologne you use.

   Oh, and find a good butcher,one you can bribe,or barter with;and tell the family to get BBQ stuff for Christmas

  Have fun and.
