Memorial Day Cook 2013
« Reply #-1 on: May 26, 2013, 10:00:17 AM »

We are starting a day early so my daughter and her boyfriend can make it.
   
It’s been awhile, so this cook is going on the Double-chef (Fatboy). The grill has held-up pretty well over the years and it needs to used once in a while, along with the other grills/smokers.


A spatchcock chicken in an overnight kosher-salt/brown-sugar/spiced brine.


One rack of St. Louis and two racks of baby backs trimmed and cleaned.


Chicken rinsed, dried and back in the ice box to air dry while the ribs cook


Smoker ready for cook


Got a couple of bricks going in the chimney, using the Fatboy ash catcher to keep the burnt paper flying all over the backyard.



SL Rack rubbed with molasses and a KC rub.   BB back in the fridge for an hour or so while the SL Ribs start their cook.

That looks really good. Would love one o those ash catchers for the very same reason.

Any chance they are still made?

Wish I could have a taste that looks so good.

I like your idea about adding brown sugar to your brine. That must add a certain sweetness and nice taste to the chicken. I know my wife likes to add brown sugar and cinnamon to a lot of her dishes that complement the flavors. Thanks for that tip.

Have a great weekend.

The SL Ribs have been going for a little more than an hour, now it’s time to add the  baby backs to the smoker. The temp has been steady at 220-230. I decided to use the rib rack so everyone gets the same amount of heat.

Thanks Rad. Gotta link for the weber ones? I can only find ones that go on the kettle, not for the chimney starter like your fatboy does.

Rad, man, you KNOW what to do with some ribs and chicken.  AND you know how to handle the Fatboy.  You've been one of my mentors on this journey of mine for about 4 years now.  I'm still learnin' from you, sir.

Seeing you in that uniform reminds me to salute YOU for your service to our country.  I appreciate it!

Hour three the chicken made its way to the party and the ribs are looking good. I pulled some of the tips to add to the beans. The Chicken is on the lower rack so it is going to catch-up pretty quickly.

Thanks Jax, for all the comments. You are now one to follow and teach. As far as the ribs go if it wasn't for guys like muebe, smokeasaurus, Capt Jack, you, and list goes on on.
