Well a rainy windy (thanks to TS Lee) Labor Day has come and gone and I feel a heart felt Thank You is in order for this forum
Three months ago I had never smoked any kind of meat, I had done a little redneck grillin but never the quality work I learned in the last few weeks on this forum
I did a lot of lurking and reading old posts and recipes
I have since perfected Jerry's # 27 Booty/Rib rub and the proper method of applying it.
I also cook on a cheap Brinkman propane smoker but this will change very soon as the temperature is hard to get below 150
I started prepping meat for the cooking on Friday by marinating 15# of brisket, and rubbing 12# of butts, I also unpacked the pork ribs all 35# of them and did a trim and membrane removal on them, I did the same to 6# of beef ribs. The extra meat I cut off will be processed into venison sausage when our season opens
I started cooking late Saturday and cooked all night into Sunday morning when I put the butts on and let my daughter take over. As everything came off the smoker I did the FTC deal
Monday morning I put everything in the oven at 175 for 5 hours then prepped it to eat
I had 27 people show up and not a single speck of meat survived
One guy owns a cafe and wanted my rib rub recipe but I refused I did give him a pint of it and he called me a few minutes ago and says these ribs ain't like yours and I used your rub whats wrong??
My reply is did you finish them when you pulled them off the smoker? I didn't tell him how to do that ;) we all know its real butter and brown sugar just before the FTC 8)
So I say Thank You to each and every member of this great cooking forum My cookout was a HUGE SUCCESS!!
The rib eaters used 7 rolls of paper towels 8)
Jerry
What a great story.
Congratulations on a good time and what sounds like a great meal.
Some pics would have been nice to see of all that.
Well the success was yours my friend, you took the time to read and learn what is available to everyone that comes to this forum and the good part is that the information is free...
Really glad that your family and friends enjoyed your labor of love...it does make you feel good when others enjoy what you prepared...way to go....
Nice job on the cook! Sounds like the cafe owner was trying to add your ribs to his menu :)
Nice job man!
Well played. But remember as you have seen "No Pictures, Never Happened!!"
Uhhhhh. I almost fell asleep with no visual stimuli ;) Here's something. (http://tapatalk.com/mu/4c1f4313-ccc4-01b1.jpg) :D :D ;)
