Did this the weekend before Memorial day . Had a small hunk of a pork butt I saved from making sausage . I saved it to make a ham , but decided to smoke this one . About 3 lbs , no fat cap .
Had a 3 pack of full spares from GFS . The pack date on the ribs was 2 days before I bought them , so I trimmed two racks and smoked them the following day . These things were nice . Best I've bought from them .
Did the butt section in the MES 30 . Apple wood chunks in the chip tray . Perfect smoke . Came out really good , and I'm liking the leaner cook on these , fat cap went to sausage . Only got a couple pics , and just salt and pepper .
I didn't wrap , ( never do ) just had a piece of foil on the tray for clean up .
Pulled nice ,
Got the 26 uncovered and it started to rain . No biggie . I just rolled it to the covered part of the patio .
Set up the snake , Burned 8 hours at 260
and still had a foot left when I took the ribs off .
Did 2 racks , the one had a real thin side to it , so took all that off and vac'd it .
The other was meaty just a slight trim .
No wrap on these either .
Sliced up ,
Had dough in the fridge outside , so I grabbed enough to make a
loaf in the 360 . That thing does great on bread too .
By this time I'm starving . Piled it all on a plate and had at it .
Son made a awesome pasta salad . Daughter did the corn .
Only thing missing was slaw for the pork , but it was really good .
I have to say , and have said it before . I can murder a rack of ribs .
These were fantastic . I think 2 things helped me this time . The fresh ribs , and a comment
noboundaries
made about probing ribs .
Went with the probe , and they were awesome . Big rack probed tender before the small one . Took it off left the other one til tender .
Worked great .
Oh , here's a couple gadgets I made to help keep my temp probes out of the way .
This one goes on the side ,
Wrap the leads around , take up the slack .
Then up to this one that holds things up top , and in thru the door .
Tired of probes hung in the door latch .
Works good . Cut a slot and glued some magnets underneath
to hold them in place .
Thanks for lookin
