Smoking and non-smoking- DAY 3

[GusRobin]

Today's agenda is:
I vac sealed the cheese from the other day and stashed in the fridge.
Going to smoke baby back ribs,asparagus, and some make some stew.

Here are the ribs- membrane removed and slathered with CT. The left one has Renown Mr Brown rub and the right has Salt Lick Clone.



After 3 hrs with oak wood and temp set at 230F, removed them. Spritzed them with Bud Light (hey, it was handy) and wrapped in foil and back in for a couple of hours.



Meanwhile, while the ribs were cooking I made a stew from the left over lamb and chuck roast.  Added some beef broth, au jus from the lamb, potatoes, carrots, peas, onions, mushrooms,spices. Its  on the stove simmering.


While I like a good stew, never made one before so I'm anxious to see how it turns out.
Later I will smoke some asparagus to go with the ribs and then I think I am done for the weekend.

Done for the day
Smoked the ribs for 3 hrs with oak, spritzed and put back in foiled for an hour. After the hour I took them out and spritzed with a mixture of apple juice and apple cider vinegar. Cooked them for another 2 hours then removed them. The meat didn't retract much from the bones, but passed the "toothpick tenderness" test. They came out very tender and juicy.



For the last hour of the ribs I added the asparagus. They were sprinkled with olive oil, garlic powder, and a little touch of cayenne pepper. I put in an hour of cherry smoke. They came out just right, a touch of crunchiness but not too crispy.



Here is tonights dinner put together with some homemade BBQ sauce.



The stew came out pretty good if I must say so myself. I guess I'll baggie some,freeze it, then vac seal.



Done for the day

Day 4 -
Have the day off and just chillin'.
Had some lamb/beef stew for lunch with some rolls made from Sonny's starter.



If I say so myself, the stew turned out a lot better than I thought it would. I have 8 more servings vac sealed in the freezer.

Looks like you dropped one of your rolls in the stew there. I'll take that one off your hands since it's all wet now.
