Some Spares on the Tractor Rim

cowgirl · Jul 28, 2014

Nothing fancy... cooked some spares while camping last week.

Started the fire in the tractor tire rim early for breakfast...

Prepped the ribs after breakfast.....went the simple route, brushed the ribs with bacon drippings then seasoned with coarse salt and cracked black pepper...

I let them hang out on the low heat side of the fire...

flipped and rotated the ribs every so often. Added a log to the fire when needed...

did some fishing while they slow smoked..

I forgot to soak some beans the night before so I had to doctor up some canned beans...

grilled the corn...

called er good.

The ribs roasted for 7 hours, came out very tender and moist. I liked them better than the last slab of campfire ribs I did but maybe I was just hungry from smelling them cook all day.

Thanks for looking!

I love when you cook campfire spares. I really need to try this sometime with my fire pit. The corn is just over the top. I love fresh corn on the cob season. We gobble it up many times a week here.

We use a tractor rim too! Love cooking over an open fire like that, In fact we just wrapped up 3 days of camping, did almost everything over the open fire!!

Thank you Husker! The ribs turned out really tasty this time. I was pretty hungry by the time they got off the fire though. lol
Also loved the corn. I had planned on buttering the cobs but they tasted so good just roasted.
I bet you do get some awesome sweet corn in your area. I have to hit Kansas for good corn.
Thanks again! :thumb:

Outstanding looking plate Jeanie!

When I do corn on the cob I toss the husk with silk and all into my bbq pit. It takes about an hour at 250 degrees. If I am doing them in my oven I run them for one hour at 350 degrees. The silk and husks come right off with very little problem. Just make sure you wear oven mitts or gloves. Alton Brown mode.

Dang Jeanie as usual I'm hungry...........again

You can make the simplest meals look so good!

On the corn, you'll love it with the husk on for cooking! I like to soak it for about 40 minutes before going on the fire/grill.
You'll be hooked after you try it
