Surg Looks terrific. That takes a lot of TLC. Did you make them fall off the bone or chewable… Both are good. What was your finish temp?

Actually let them get away from me. Hit 185+ while still wrapped in foil so when I went to uncover them they were fall apart. I just pulled them at that point. I usually like them a little more on the bone personally.
Ran it hotter than usual with it set to 275, but the MES smoker was acting quirky and my standalone thermometer was reading 230s. Didn’t even put the temp probe into it until unwrapping them and saw they were hot. Still juicy and tasty, but hard to cut neatly. Was thinking of running an empty smoker with a couple different temp probes to see what was going on. Weird for it to linger so low below temp especially on a hot day. -

Still a great job surg … Enjoy

Ribs are over of her favorite smoked meats. They turned out pretty good. Don’t look as good a yours though.

wdaly looks good to me…. Don’t be picky. No one will notice what you don’t like unless you point it out.

Not me but my wife made some of the best chicken french of her life this weekend for me and friends. Seriously she NIALED everything about, the chicken, the sauce, everything perfect. here is why I even bring it up. She lost her sense of smell and taste during covid, then got it back but now ANY oil smells rancid to her! She had me smell the sauce like 3 times, saying she thought something was wrong with it. I was making salsa while she was in the shower, she came out and we had to open windows, turn on air freshener and light some candles because of Cilantro which she used to love!
Patrick (@The-Fridge-Raider ) sense is totally back yet either. I am considering testing that stupid burnt orange thing with him and then if it works trying it with her!

I was out of cell service in my home away from home, channeling my inner PapaSop . It was a great weekend at one of our favorite State Parks/Lakes. I had a chance to break in a Fathers Day gift from one of my boys. Its a carbon steel skillet that is versatile and a great all around cooking piece.


GWG8541 - Very nice

This one has a lot of moving parts so bear with me. Started with marinated pork, shrimp and scallops on a skewer and a couple of whole country pork ribs for good measure.
Grilled these over a charcoal fire with a couple of pieces of pear wood for flavor.
This by itself would be the basis of a pretty good meal, but they are just one part of a bigger whole. That being a Vietnamese dish called BÚN THỊT NƯỚNG.
The meaty bits get chopped up and added to a bowl of vermicelli noodles, lettuce, fresh basil, cilantro, crushed peanuts, green onions browned in lard, and nuoc cham, a seasoned fish sauce based condiment.
The complexity of flavors in the finished dish is hard to describe, but is simply amazing. We will be doing leftovers again tomorrow, because once is just not enough. Plus I grilled enough for the whole neighborhood.My wife gets the credit for all the hard work and creativity. I just grilled the meat/shellfish.





I call “Dibs”!

I left out the encapsulated citric acid on this batch because I knew I would not have time to smoke it last night. I like the flavor both ways. The ECA adds the tang which some people like and some people don’t. I eat just about anything so it doesn’t matter to me. I used the willies snack stick seasoning broken down for a 5 pound batch. Just used the sure cure alone which from what I’ve gathered requires a rest of at least 6 to 8 hours for the cure to works it’s magic.Use the leftover meat that didn’t make it out of the stuffer for for breakfast this morning. Not sure if there’s another post on it but would be interested to see what people use the leftover un-stuffed meat for. I usually just fry it up or smoke it as some kind of patty.

Group supper tonight. I’m providing dessert. Rhubarb is about done for the year so used some for rhubarb custard pie.

Know it’s not meat, but sometimes you just need pie.
