More rain in forecast on Sunday so cooking the plate ribs up a day early. Planning on some lake time this afternoon so using the pellet pooper. I am early riser so got up around five this morning and trimmed the silver skin and extra fat off the meat side. Added rough ground sea salt and back into fridge uncovered. Did some quiet yard work so didnt wake neighbors and went for a walk. When got home cleaned up the smoker and fired her up to 250. Used W sauce as a binder and a couple of meat church rubs layered on, holy cow and gospel. They go well with beef. Will put on smoker around nine. Debating whether to wrap or not. First couple times I made plate ribs I did not and turned out great. Last time they were just plain bad, overcooked dry and tough. They would just not probe easy so overcooked em. Guess let the meat tell me as it progresses. I am guessing with all that marbling it wont be an issue this time.
And we are smoking. Competition LJ pellets.
