Most here already know tx smoker tx smoker is very generous, besides being an incredible cook and fabricator. I’m extremely grateful to be gifted some amazing CPB Dino Ribs by Robert last week and today was the perfect beautiful, sunny day to smoke them. The stars aligned and I was also able to get a bunch of Morel Mushrooms for a side worthy to share the plate!

Trimmed and rubbed with simple Salt and cracked Pepper. I left a little fat.

Onto the smoker at 275 with blended pellets…..I can’t wait for the BelFab to get done, these deserved a stick burner!

A little over 3 hours in, meat was bulging and pulling away from the bone real nice.

I’m not really sure, 7 hrs or so IT was 195 and I started probing, it was butter at 201.

While they were resting I got the peeled and cut up potatoes into boiling water, soaked the morels, and got some asparagus blanched. Once morels were clean, sautéed with some butter (I broke the whole 30 diet for the morels), garlic and scallion, then tossed in the blanched asparagus. Morels are amazing, they kept getting picked from the pan and eaten, a really uniquely flavored mushroom.

Potatoes mashed up with truffle oil, ghee, S&P, and coconut milk (whole 30). Then moment of truth on the ribs……

Beatiful smoke ring, moist, such amazing flavor. The smell of Smokey brisket on a stick filled the house.

After a bite the meat fell off the bone and we went for sliced and plated.

Such a rich and decadent cut! CPB meat is like a baseball bat of beefy flavor! Oh man it was good! The morels and asparagus held up well and stood its ground, sharing the plate with the raging beef and creamy truffle mash. If you can, get some of that CPB beef and morels too. They are both something else entirely for flavor, wow what a meal.

Thank you Robert, my family and I truly appreciate your generosity. It was an incredible meal you provided us my friend!

Thank you for your time!

Looks awesome man! What a great gift and friend. You sure did those up right. I need to get out in the woods and look for some morels, we have them here but I've never run across any. Excellent job as usual. You got me craving the dinos now. This one deserves a ride on the carousel.

Lucky daughter, Awesome dad.
Thank you! She’s a carnivore and loves being included on the threads🤣 I appreciate the compliment!

Thank you! I love morels, but don’t trust myself to hunt them🤣 When I was at a school in Leavenworth, KS a few years ago some hunters took me along (probably because I’m not local). It was a cool experience, a lot of understanding the fungi and land go into it. They are delicious and unique. I appreciate the compliment!
Those look amazing. Gonna have to try some of those one of these days.
Thank you Gabe, this is a must for any beef or brisket lover! I appreciate it!

🤣Thank you David! I appreciate the kind words and point! It was a fun cook and great meal! Robert is a great friend and supporter here, can never thank the high quality people here enough!

My daughter is a personality🤣 She loves red meat, the only food her “picky eater” gene hasn’t eliminated! I appreciate your time!

Wow Jed, what can I say that hasn't already been said? The whole meal looks absolutely stunning but those ribs are what it's all about my friend. That is true BBQ at it's magazine quality finest right there. That smoke ring is breathtaking as is the color you got on the ribs. Just stunning.

Thank you Robert, my family and I truly appreciate your generosity.
It was an honor and a pleasure to be even a small prat of an event like this with your family. As amazing as the meal was, that pic of your daughter stole the show. The look on her face is beyond what I can convey with my limited vocabulary but that pic needs to be framed and hung over the fireplace :emoji_wink:

Also, Great picture of your daughter. Her reaction is a testament of how good those ribs must have been.
