6 Racks of Ribs

[DarqMan]

It all looks awesome... very delicious!

[KevinG]

Ribs!  Heck Yeah!!!

Just make sure you allow plenty of time...
It's a lot easier/better to "hold 'em" than it is to "speed 'em up"...

Looks like I'm going to have to start early. They decided on a 12:30 party. Looks like I'll be up at 5:00 at least.

I'd tell them to pick a different time for a party or a different cook for the party.

Me get up at 5:00, naaaaaa.

Goodness gracious...
How 'bout "Party Starts at 12:30.  Ribs served at 5:30.  Live with it."

Wish you guys were here to fight that battle for me. I got outnumbered.

How 'bout "Come when you want to but the frickin ribs AIN'T gonna be ready till I put them on the Table".

Who owns the smoker?

Who knows how to run the smoker?

Who bought the meat?

Who's house is this at?

etc, etc

[KevinG]

That might be the ticket.  ;D of course the next time I'll be sitting here alone. Oh darn all that food for me.

Well... Heck... Ain't that what I said?
(That's EXACTLY what I meant to say)

The point may be mute, Fed Ex never delivered my rub. It better come today or I'm in big trouble.

Jans rub is good on ribs in a pinch, as well as the AB rub:

This is for 2 racks.

    *  8 tablespoons light brown sugar, tightly packed
    * 3 tablespoons kosher salt
    * 1 tablespoon chili powder
    * 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    * 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    * 1/2 teaspoon jalapeno seasoning
    * 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
    * 1/2 teaspoon rubbed thyme
    * 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

I played with rubs for years until the McCormick's Grill Mates for Pork came out.  It's a great starting point that's readily available in about every grocery store.  It's on the sweet side, but it can be easily jazzed with either cayenne or, my preference, chipotle chili powder.

5:00 AM aint that bad, do it every day, by the time you get every thing goin and sit down you can watch the sun rise.

Kinda calms the soul.

Thanks FLB & STC, good to have you guys around. I'll be using one of them if Fed Ex don't show up by 5:00.

OU - Yep, I'm up every day for work at 3:00 so it's not a huge deal, but sure is nice to sleep in when I don't have to get up that early.
