Got Wood.
I don't usually take or post pics, but I love looking at everyone else's, so I thought I'd give back a little to those from whom I take so much.
Sunday did 2 racks of St. Louis style ribs from Restaurant Depot. Rubbed with mustard and Dizzy Pig Dizzy Dust with a light sprinkling of Oakridge Competition Beef and Pork to add some depth that I think Dizzy Dust sometimes lacks. Foiled in apple juice, apple cider vinegar and brown sugar. Sauced one with Sweet Baby Rays (I know, I know, but it's the wife's go-to sauce). Left the other dry for me.
Did 3-2-0.5 and it was WAY too much time foiled. One rack split in 2 when removing from the foil and the bones were practically falling out. The good news is that I am the only one that likes a little pull, and the rest of the family was freaking out over just how "fall off the bone" they were. Smoke ring and flavor were terrific. I wish I took a cross-section pic, but it didn't happen. I keep saying that next time I have the funds I will upgrade my Akorn to a BGE, but the thing just keeps performing and proving itself. Not bad for a $275 3 year-old egg knock-off. Maybe I'll save my money and just get a Guru.
The drink was my own concoction: 1800 Coconut flavored tequila with a splash of my kid's fruit punch and a lime. HIGHLY recommend. Very tropical, I could practically hear steel drums playing in the background. Not pictured were the wings I did on the gasser with Dizzy Pig Raging River. All in all, a lovely 5 hours spent on the deck on a beautiful Sunday.
