Update 31Aug17 of 27Aug17 ops:
Wrapped and fridge for 3+ hours.
Wrapped up some poppers!
Wrapped in SMOKE! Poppers for 2 hrs @ 225 deg. Ribs for 4 1/2 hrs. Same temp obviously.
Oh yeah! That's apple juice in the squirt bottle! Every hour. Everything gets it!
Now, for some appetizers!
There were 16 of these. Only 3 people wiped them out! Musta been good!
Another 2 1/2 hrs later . . .
Money Shot 1 !!
Money Shot 2 !!
And finally, the Stow and Go treat for coworkers!!
I"m pretty sure I'm getting a raise, or at least a Xmas Ham . . . to smoke ! Maybe even a couple of desirable phone numbers ! The reheat smell - even 2 days and 70 miles away - filled the hall and folks were wondering . . .
Just a note: These were on sale. Bought for $8.33. I really didn't expect this quality of output. The meat did not fall off the bone. The consistency was . . uh . . . like . . er . . . butter ! No, really !! BBQ sauce was a mix of 4:1 regular "Bone Sucking Sauce" and Kick Y'o Ass Teriyaki Habanero Sauce (shipped in from Goodyear, AZ). Remarkable actually!! Just the right zing and sweet and vinegar and . . . oh my!
Next weekend trying out Dutch Oven Fajitas on Sat. and was trying to figure out what Labor Day would bring. Then out-of-the-blue I get a text from a friend who says her freezer just quit. What luck! She has $400 worth of food to salvage and was wondering if I would take her Prime Rib. Helloooooo! Monday smoke problem fixed !!!
She says she knows I'll respect the cut and she couldn't say the same thing about her kids. Time to break out the temp probe; twist my arm!
I started this thread and felt obligated. It's all real basic stuff. But, I hope it wakes up your taste buds as it did my neighbors !
