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

After seeing cansmoke 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!

Sounds like a fine day in store for you! All I season beef with is S&P too, it's all it needs. RAY
 
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.
