Kettle ribs, charro beans and plan B at the end.

[clifish]

Picked up an entire rack of ribs at Aldi...$2.10 or so a lb as opposed to over $5/lb for baby backs.

Had less people coming than I thought so I cut them down to St. Louis ribs pulled the membrane and vac packed the tips for another day.

All rubbed up with Oak Ridge BBQ Dominator rib and pork rub and onto the kettle with a snake of coals and cherry chunks. Thanks to Rich chopsaw for some PM guidance today.

Wind kicked up a bunch and the kettle would not get above 225, still was able to lay down about 3 hours of good smoke with some good pull back . Plan "B" came into effect when my daughter (20) said "when is dinner I am starved". So fired up the oven to 400 with some broth under the ribs (on a rack) and covered for half hour or so to steam. Broiled the sauce for caramelization.

Also made the Charro black soy beans again, always a household favorite. On my plate I put the beans on top of yesterday's left over "spicy" coconut rice.

Nice smoke ring and Bite off the bone tender, even my daughter could not get enough. I should have made the entire rack with the tips, only have 4 bones for tomorrow.

Thanks Rich, had to use the MES (Ok a knock off Smoke Hollow) to do the beans due to real estate issues. Need to try and steal something bigger. I am half tempted to buy the Rec tec 590 or 700 to get the 340 for for $399 so I can have one in both houses..lol

Yup, that’ll work. Those charro beans are delicious. Nice ribs too.

Yep, ribs look delicious, beans look delicious, and the hazy lager looks like a great addition. Cheers.

Nothing wrong with an oven bump with results like that.

I'd say heck yes to a plate of that! Was a great day for ribs for sure!

I do it all the time . Not uncommon to have 2 or more going at the same time . Electric , charcoal , propane and pellet .

Thanks Charles, The beans were jcam222 Charro beans and I just put that on top of the coconut rice I made the day before in Jerk chicken cook.

I loosely followed the below link but subbed in riced cauliflower I get at Costco. On the fly additions were the rice wine vinegar, turmeric, shredded coconut, corn and the SF sauce. Pretty much did it to taste at the end.

It all looks fantastic!! I prefer spares to babybacks 100%. You nailed them. I plan on doing my cowboy beans tomorrow but I sure do love the charro too.

yeah they were a full rack that I cut down to St. Louis style as we had less people. I might smoke up the rib tip cut off this weekend. Those beans of your's are a huge hit every time I make them....that reminds me I need another case of black soybeans.
