PRO 100 SPARES

[sawhorseray]

I HAVEN'T POSTED ANYTHING BUT JOKES FOR AWHILE SO IT WAS TIME TO SHOW I STILL SMOKE MEAT FROM TIME TO TIME. I USUALLY USE ONE OF MY KETTLES BUT IT'S JUST TOO DAMMED HOT HERE TO STAND OUT IN THE BLAZING SUN AND PLAY WITH CHARCOAL AND WOOD CHUNKS. PERFECT TIME TO BREAK OUT THE 20 YEAR-OLD CABELAS PRO 100. THEY WERE MADE FOR CABELAS BACK IN THE DAY BY PS SEASONINGS, GOT MINE IN BOOMTOWN ON THE WAY HOME FROM A WINNING TRIP TO RENO, IT WAS FREE! THESE DAYS THEY COST TWICE WHAT I SPENT, WORTH IT, THEY DO IT ALL.

THAWED OUT A RACK OF 99¢ A POUND SPARERIBS, I BUY ALL MEAT ONLY WHEN IT'S ON SALE. SLATHERED ON SOME MUSTARD FOR A BINDER AND THEN A COATING OF JOE'S K-C BIG MEAT SEASONING

I TOSSED THE SPARES INTO THE PRO 100 PRE-HEATED TO 175º WITH A LOAD OF HICKORY CHIPS FOR 90 MINUTES, THEN RAISED THE TEMP UP TO 240º. 20 YEARS, NEVER A GLITCH, WORKS LIKE A CHARM!

I TOOK THEM OFF AFTER SIX HOURS, THICK END WAS A PERFECT BITE, THIN SIDE FOTB. I DON'T COMPLAIN AT 99¢LB. BRUSHED ON A LITTLE SBR FOR LOOKS AND FLAVOR

PLATED UP WITH SOME CRONY SALAD AND BEANS, RIBS STILL JUICY. I WAS HAPPY!

IT CAN GET KIND OF WARM HERE IN SUMMER, EVEN IN THE PATIO SHADE

POOL AND MISTERS ARE A MUST HAVE, OTHERWISE YOU JUST SWEAT, THEN DIE!

WELL THAT'S PRETTY MUCH A WRAP, RECKON I'LL GO BACK TO POSTING JOKES ON SUNDAYS TILL THINGS COOL DOWN SOME. THANKS FOR LOOKIN' IN! RAY

It's hot here in Ga but not THAT hot!

Good looking meal Ray, the old smoker still has it. I complain when we hit 90 here, 116 I dont even want to think about that. Might just jump off a bridge if there was water underneath or not.

Great looking meal Ray. Plate looks perfect. It’s hot enough to cook eggs on the asphalt, I’d say?

WHEN IT'S LIKE THIS YOU NEVER SEE ANYONE IN THE HOOD OUTSIDE, IT'S BRUTAL! I DO THIS 4-5 TIMES A DAY, HAVEN'T HAD TO SHOWER FOR A MONTH!

Haha, I just go one yesterday. Makes #8 and have had 5 royals. Don't get many, so I keep track...
Did have 2 straight flushes about an hour apart 8 or 9 months ago.
Monday is our casino day.

THE MISTERS KNOCK 116º DOWN TO DOUBLE DIGITS AND MAKE THINGS OK, STANDING OUT IN THE DIRECT SUNLIGHT IS BRUTAL!

THANKS RICH! I'D NEVER HAVE DROPPED THAT KIND OF DOUGH IF THERE WASN'T CASH BURNING A HOLE IN MY POCKET, NOW THEY COST TWICE AS MUCH, OUT OF REACH
