Wanted to try another longer smoke on the 26 , so I chose some St. Louis cut ribs .
I seasoned them up with the brisket rub I made , course salt and pepper . Let them sit in the fridge while I set up the kettle , then about an hour on the counter to warm up a bit .
Kettle settled in at 260 , put the ribs on .
I made a small chimney starter , holds about 10 briquettes .
I thought I had pics on the grill , but can't find them . I did a bend test at about 5 hours . Had not looked at the til then . The kettle holds good heat , unless you open the lid to much . I did temp them , normally I don't . They were 185 . Took them off .
No sauce no spritz .
I was having chicken thighs for supper . Was gonna do the on the 22 , but the snake had alot left . So seasoned them up and right on where the ribs were . Looked at an hour or so in .
After 1st flip .
Kettle was losing steam . Had the lid open to much so I put them on the Genesis to finish up .
Cut up some ribs ,,
Daughter is getting good with that instant pot . Broccoli rice , and fresh green beans with garlic butter .
Sliced opened the chicken for a look .
Juicy . Skin edible , but should be better . Kettle got a bit cold .
It was all really good . Ribs were some of the best I've done . Not alot of meat on them but
taste texture were spot on . Forgot to say above , no peel of the membrane . I just leave it .
Daughter said chicken needed salt . I said should have put it on before you gnawed it down to the bone . I've been cutting back on salt , and I always brine my chicken in Pop's . Didn't do it this time , and I think she missed that .
This is what was left of the snake . Cooked a slab of ribs , then 5 nice chicken thighs . Had about half left . Burn time was around 6 or 7 hours .
Thanks for lookin .
