Had a smoke off @ my house

[DjSaneR]

So we decided to have a smoke off/sides throwdown at my house this Saturday for the Pacquiao vs. Cotto boxing match.  I did a 10lbs brisket Pachanga's way, grilled marinated short ribs, grilled baby back ribs.  My friends decided to join in on the smoking and half cut short ribs.  I was a bit skeptical since I've never had smoked short ribs, but they laid all my skepticism to rest when I took a bite.. Mmmmm, delish!

Here's a few pics. We had enough to food to feed a small country for a day:

I second that...

How did you do the short ribs in the smoker?

[KevinG]

Awesome spread, hey I'm willing to pick a fight with someone to get a bite or two. :D

[FLBentRider]

How did you cook that big hunk of beef on the cutting board ?

DJSaner,

And that's a picture of the way life ought to be.

Nice spread and beautiful barbeque.  Every piece of meat and all the sides look like masterpieces. I smoke a lot of St. Louis Cut ribs but the short ribs are a big bonus.  Thanks for reminding and inspiring me. I'm going to pick up short ribs soon.

You and Mr. Bradley seem to be getting along well.  You're turning barbeque out like a Texas Pit Boss. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. 

Good luck, let the good times roll and keep smoking it slow.

How did you cook that big hunk of beef on the cutting board ?

I did that 10lb brisket Pachanga's way.  Mustard slather, rub, let it sit overnight, then pop it in early to reach IT of 190 degrees by 7pm.

How did you do the short ribs in the smoker?

They stayed pretty basic with the short ribs.  They both did it the same way only different mop near the end.  Their own rub, let it marinate over night, pop it in the smoker then start mopping an hour and a half before completed.  Short ribs are very fatty so the meat was full of juice.  No worries of them drying out.  Low and slow @ 210 for 10 hours using mesquite. Delish!

And why weren't we invited?????

We should all meet up and have a big BBQ party!  Car clubs do it, why can't we =)

DJSaner,

Thanks for the kind words, all! Yes this is what I intended when purchasing this smoker. Good friends, good food and good times.

That is really a impressive spread DJ.  It looks like a lot of fun.

Sending it to a small country is a great idea.  You probably don't know how to do that but I do.  So, send it to me and I'll take care of it.  Better yet, I can probably drive over and pick it up  ;D ;D ;D
