The smoked & grown combo plate!

[civilsmoker]

So today was one of those days when……well every thing sounded good……

So a few beef back ribs went in the RT 1250 @ 265 (my usual temp) and after they were on for a bit more than 90 min some chicken thigh biscuits (marinated in some kinders carna marinade).

Recently I have changed up how I do my biscuits, I now do them at 265 and I pull them at INT of 160 ish and rest….this combination just seems to work for me….no more 225 and INT til 185….. they take about 2 hours exactly every time….

I also added some “sticks” to hold the shape as they go from skin side to non skin side…… fyi, I smoke on the grate for 30 min, then 45 skin down (butter, classic olive, & some marinade), followed by 45 min. skin up…..I do baste them a few times as well….

Bingo beef rib apps…..3 hours @ 265 followed by 30 min wrapped rest at 170

And finally the combo plate….. some garden maters, and beef apps followed by a chicken cilantro lime salad…….

Just love these things!!!!

The combo money wallet shot!

This was a good salad!!!

Thanks for indulging me and my taste buds……

It all looks great but that chicken salad especially caught my attention.

Hell yes, beautiful work there Civil! I just yesterday broke down a standing rib roast, got some beef ribs for the kettle. RAY

Nice meal ! Cooked perfectly .

I now do them at 265

.no more 225

That's becoming true across the board for me , but certainly for chicken .

take about 2 hours exactly every time….

That's it in my opinion . I spun a whole bird yesterday in the kettle . The thigh meat was 185 at 1 1/2 hours . Perfect .

Man what a meal!! Pics are drool worthy for sure.

 

[JLeonard]

WOWSA! Like others have said....drool worthy all the way around!

Now thats a spread I would love to sit down to!

Thanks Brian, it was a sit down kinda meal for sure!

Thanks RAY, and Oh man beef back ribs are just yum! We have been getting really meaty ones lately and just a couple make a full meal!

Nice meal ! Cooked perfectly .

Much appreciated chop! Come to think about my temp and cook times….the only thing I do at 225 are these “mini” baby back ribs we get that have no loin meat on. I do prime rib a 235, but have pretty much gravitated to 265 for almost every thing…..

Oh as a side not I aim for a INT of 185 for thighs on “unprocessed” thighs but for these biscuits it’s INT of 165 after the rest. The reason is I de-bone them then trim almost all the fat and scrape the skin so it’s see through. I’ve found that since there is very little excess fat to render much more above INT 165 can fry them……. They are buttery and full of flavor.

Man what a meal!! Pics are drool worthy for sure.

Thank jcam! I’m skipping breakfast this am for sure!

WOWSA! Like others have said....drool worthy all the way around!

Many thanks Jim! It was a tasty feast for sure!

Thanks Winter! It was a crazy put together fast meal as lots was happening but was pleasantly surprised with how well it came together.

Man that looks incredible!! That whole meal is just drool worthy and absolutely gorgeous. Gotta say though, the maters jumped out at me more than anything. IMHO there's not much in this world better than homegrown tomatoes. I'm so sick and tired of seeing pink, yellowish, or even green tomatoes from the store. Tracy got the flooring in most of the house redone a couple weeks ago so next year is my project....and it's gonna be a greenhouse. Been wanting to build one for several years but it keeps getting bumped for other projects. I'm standing my ground next year though and getting it...no matter what.
