6 Racks of Ribs

[OU812]

Sleep in?

Whats that?

Even when were gone watchin Taby play ball I sit in the hotel or in the parkin lot waitin for the rest of the world to wake up.  ::)

Kinda funny when the girls start rollin down to eat, there all still in a daze and the parents kinda look the same. :D

Finally got the creamette salad done.

Woo Hoo! The secret elixir finally arrived.



Got all six ribs peeled and rubbed. Decided to try putting them in an oversized ziplock bag since last time it dripped all over the fridge.

There you go Kevin!  Congrats. 6 racks of ribs,  Can't wait to see how it turns out now that you have your rub to do those ribs.

Are they done yet? Are they done yet? Are they done yet? Are they done yet? Are they done yet? Are they done yet?

 ;D ;D Not even close. I started at 5:00 this morning and forgot to pull the ribs out of the fridge first. The cabinet temp dropped like a rock. It's 9:00 now and the cabinet temp finally got up to 182. I stuck a probe in one of the thicker ribs and am getting a 136 IT. Looks like it'll be running late.

Put out some chips and salsa, and tell 'em to shut up and wait... 
Or get their fresh smoked ribs somewhere else in Apache Junction ;D

Way ahead of you. Got 3 different bags of chips, 2 different kinds of salsa, and music blaring so loud that even if they did complain I wouldn't hear it anyhow.

That's the spirit!

Ran into a snag, looks like I got a bunch of black rain - will that stuff just wipe off, or will I need to dig in deep to get it cleared out?

[hal4uk]

Maybe a brush and some vinegar?

[squirtthecat]

So how did the ribfest turn out?

[KevinG]

I should've slept in. Everybody came late, ate and left. Food was a hit, I'll post some pics later. I was able to scrape off the black rain from the food without any problem. Looks like I'll have to scrub my smoker out pretty good. It is almost black througout.

[squirtthecat]

Good deal!

Just clean the chimney and the vent..   Leave the rest alone.    Some have suggested putting a small foil pan on the top rack right under the vent - it would catch any drips, but let the smoke/moisture pass around it.

[KevinG]

Sounds like a good idea.

Here's some pics, if you turn you head to the right, you'll see what I saw.


Here's the ribs ready for smoke.


Here's the ribs in hickory smoke.


Here's the black rain.


Here's the ribs wrapped in foil with some apple raspberry juice.


I didn't get any pics fresh out of the smoker after de-foiling and finish cooking, the crowd devoured 5 racks. Here's the 6th rack after pulling it back out of the freezer.
