Dino Ribs - First major cook on my new 18.5 WSM

Hi Folks

Well, I promised some photos of my first major cook on my new WSM. They are a bit late as I had to run off to Birmingham on business right after the cook and I can't figure out how to upload photos from my Ipad.

Anyway, the cook went great. I did two racks of beautiful 'Dino' short ribs. I did one rack with my Jamaican Jerk and the second with a coffee and red wine BBQ sauce for the heat intolerant in the crowd.

I fired the WSM early in the morning with a full load of charcoal, a full water pan and a mix of Jamaican pimento wood and apple wood chunks.

The ribs smoked all day at about 225 - 250. They were done about an hour after guests arrived. I think I had them on about 12 hours all totalled.

Oh, I also through a dish full of assorted beans under the BBQ rib rack. Just a couple of cans of mixed beans and a can of tomato paste. I didn't even mix it up as I was in a hurry. These turned out AMAZING! They were as big a hit as the dino ribs.

All the left overs got carried away, barely leaving me with enough meat leftover to make a pot of very tasty beef and bean BBQ soup the next day. :laugh:

So, here are the photos!

Nice Dino ribs! And a hello to another bbq prairie dog! Just East of you.

Any chance you get the WSM at Home Depot? They dropped the price significantly for some reason. You should be able to get the price matched. Just trying to save you some cash so you can get more dinos!

Oops. No, picked it up a Lowes. The standard price. I'll check it out though. I need to pick up some more charcoal tomorrow, perhaps they will meet? Worth a try!

Thanks for the tip, and glad to hear from another Prairie Dog!!
