Babybacks

Fishawn · #1 06-29-2012, 08:58 PM

Yeah, yeah, yeah...... Another rack of babybacks..... Wasn't going to post it, butt things going kinda slow, so give y'all something to check oot........ Had a weird temp spike that went from 250* holding steady to 350* in aboot 20 minutes.... Not sure WTF happened, but sprayed some water on the coals & got it to sit down @ 250* - 275* after that

Ate a few, then I figured I better get a sliced pic....

Rubbed with B & P, smoked with Pecan & Apple, drizzled with Parkay a couple times.... Foiled with Parkay & Tiger sauce.... Glazed with a mix of SBR's, bourbon, tiger sauce, lil rub, apple cider vinegar.

Finished with some of Hippy's Kauai Guava Smoked finishing salt that was really a GREAT addition (Thanks Monte)...... That little salty smokey taste with the sweet & a bit of crunch..... Nice addition to ribs!

Too much "fuel". 13 briqs in each holder should be about right

Thanks Mikey, it worked perfectly that past 4-5 times I did it.... I might have left the vents open a touch too

I will try the 13..... I'm also going 4 lit on each holder & think I may have done 3 each, I dunno.... I gotta start writing shit down

They look great once again. I'd be ribbed out by now if I were you. I got that way earlier this summer when I did 3 racks in 2 weeks on the Traeger.

Moisture is my guess.... BBQ Pitmasters had the rib cook @ Johnny Triggs place & I think they were all dumping it (Parkay) on..... I like the way the ribs turn out with it, so I'm sold...... Still experimenting with the rub-foil-glaze to get what I like.

Here's Rob with his version

Start with the vents at 50%. If you have a propane torch, just get the coals going in a couple of spots and monitor the temp as it's coming up. Much easier to catch em coming up then to bring em down.

Yes, I have propane assist starters on my Performers..... I have been putting 4 lit coals on the piles with vents wide open until it hits about 215-225 & then closing vents down & it creeps up to between 250-275.... It had worked great to maintain temps, but I was gone for about 25 minutes & it shot up on me... Maybe my neighbor was F-ing with me

Here's the deal with Paekay! Margerine doesn't burn as easily as butter does. So you get a better finished product.

Scott, nice work on this cook! Thanks for the post.

Great looking Ribs, Scott !!!----Got some

for you later.
LOL Apparently you made something else I really liked not too long ago, so I have to find some other good ones first. I guess you shouldn't post so many great posts?!?!

Yesterday I did my first BBs in nearly 2 years, because they finally had them here for under $5 a pound ($3.99). Be posting it in a few days.

Looks Real Nice!!

You can post those kinda ribs anytime, Sott!

Give'en ya a

for the "squirt some water on your coals" idea. Mr Bassman sneaked around this spring and built me a mini-UDS then messed around for several months before he finally found me a lid, then kinda got pissed when I asked him to buy me two new grates....

Anywho - I did a test burn last weekend and damn, she got hot quick!!! Wasn't cooking anything but gotta admit, the thought of using water to fight that fire NEVER even entered my mind - DERRRRRR!

Gonna Mad Hunky me a yard bird with a beer can stuck up it's rear today, so I'm stealing Mikey's torch idea for lighting the coals as well.
