Ribs and Tri-tip today!

[normanaj]

With the 45 degree swing in temps I need to do some smoking.

After seeing cansmoke thread on ribs I pulled a rack out of the freezer last night and it was fully thawed this morning so I hit with a saltless Jeff's rub and back in the fridge for a few hours so that rub has some time on it,would've like an overnight sit but oh well.I also went to the meat market yesterday and got another tri-tip,it was so good last time I had to do it again!That's got nothing but a little salt and cracked pepper on it.Can't have those ribs feeling all lonely.

I'll post up method(s) and results when done...And more pics!

Sooo........

The ribs went in the MES first with a full tube of apple dust and the Auber set at 265 to expedite things.That shaved almost 2 hours off my usual cook time.I like them with some bite...not a fall off the bone guy.Sauced with Baby Rays and on the Q for a quick crisping...I kinda like the sauce with a little char.

The tri-tip went in afterward with a 1/4 tube of char/hickory dust and reduced the temp to 250.Took about an hour and a half to get to 115.Gave it very quick sear on the Q and got it up to 120 because I was going for really rare because Jane has plans for leftovers and the ends were right at med-rare so it worked out well.

Side was nothing more than a basic house salad.Iceburg,red onion,cukes and some homemade croutons.

For some reason this is around the third time the plated shot won't upload.
