Full spares on the recteq

[AClarke44]

So I decided to go grab a rack of ribs and see how they turn out on the new pellet smoker. I went simple, left the spares full, just removed the membrane and trimmed up the tip and some fat. I seasoned them with Kosmos Q Dirty Bird Hot and Honey Chipotle Killer Bee. Put them in the smoker on extreme smoke using Lunberjack 100% Cherry pellets (they smell great!) It’s holding at 180*. I’ll kick it up to about 300 in a couple hours when I feel the meat has taken enough smoke.

As you can see I’m also smoking a cabbage. I’ve never done this but I’ve tasted smoked cabbage about 20 yrs ago (lol) and it was delicious. I’m giving it a go! I just removed a couple of the outer leaves, rubbed it with olive oil and Dirty Bird.

I can’t wait to see how this all turns out!

Still trying to figure out the pic resize. I can’t do it through the app apparently and using Imgur on my phone but through the website is a pain. I may have it somewhat figured out? :biggrin1:

Cabbage

Mighty fine Andrew.

This looks like a great adventure.

I can nearly smell it from here.

Looks great so far. Personally, I take cabbage and put it directly on the coals. I’ve never tried smoking it but am curious.

I bet these turn out great. Low smoking with 100% cherry...hmmmmm!

Thank you! The cabbage is looking a little dry at the moment but it’s early.

The ribs look great. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of smoking cabbage- or grilling it for that matter.

Yes SIR!!!

Next time, core the cabbage, pack it full of butter and pan it...

You're in for a surprise Andrew. Best ribs I've ever done (second to the stick burner) was on the pellet grill. My bro don't want ribs any other way.

Thanks for the tips Jeremy. I not sure the cabbage is gonna turn out the way I did it. Lol. But I bet your recommendations would definitely work!

Looks quite tasty. I’m very curious as to how the cabbage turns out.

It’s not looking good at the moment. :loco:

It’s looking really dry. I need to do the things Jeremy mentioned

 

[Jersey BBQ]

Another curious cabbage watcher here..

 

[AClarke44]

After my last post, I thought, why not just do what Jeremy said now?

Not quite a stick of butter but prob about half. And a little more seasoning. The cabbage was actually a little softer than it looked but I felt it still needed some moisture.

Here’s an updated cook picture. I pushed the temp to 230* about an hour ago. I’m gonna kick it up to 300 soon.

Earlier:

 

[4ever3]

Foil the cabbage and let it steam a bit!

Done!

 

[AClarke44]

Ribs are done and are resting. I kicked up the cooker to 350 to finish off the cabbage.

 

[AClarke44]

The dang cabbage is still not quite done. Here’s a pic of the ribs after slicing. They had a mild smoke flavor and were very good! I figured the smoke would be mild because I had cherry pellets in the cooker. Cherry is mild anyway, I’ll probably stick to the hickory pellets, but I wanted to experiment. The smoke flavor was definitely there and the only way I can describe it is a “clean” smoke flavor. Anyway I’ll get a pic of the cabbage when it finishes but it’s not gonna be as pretty as the ribs. :biggrin1:
