Spare Ribs with a good chance of rain........bacon rain
« Reply #-1 on: September 03, 2016, 02:28:03 PM »
Smart and Final had Farmer John Spares for 1.59 a lb. Grabbed a rack. Wendy says, "Hey, lets use the new Akorn". Sounds good but I haven't played around with it with the grilling stone.  Ah whatever, they dont call me The Smoke for nothing.

So here is how it went:

removed the membrane
rubbed both sides with Bone Sucking Rub
poured some Cowboy Southern lump in the Akorn along with 2 chunks of apple wood
lit with a Weber cube.
waited 10 minutes and added the grilling stone (wrapped in foil), a foil pan filled with hot water and cooking grate
dampered the Akorn down
when internal hit 200, I added the ribs.
What to do with the extra swing away cooking grate??

Add some bacon and let it rain on those ribs


I slightly adjusted the bottom damper and the Akorn sped up to 250 and just sat there the rest of the cook

5 hours later I had great pull back and the ribs were pliable


Great flavor profile. Not oversmoked. I think I am going to like Kamado cooking. Well, lets eat.......


and as always thanks for looking at The Smokes cooking  8)

Maybe he will do a redneck musical parody for us: Instead of Prince' "Purple Rain"...Smoke performs Bacon Rain!...I think it has possibilities.... :D :D :D

I wish I had more bacon and I should have kept my pork trimmings to add as well. Mark Hunsaker will lay fat carvings along with fresh herbs and lace it all with rub and let it rain on chicken.....................deelicous :P :P

I got "grease fog" from Rocky Richmond, the owner of Big Drum Smokers way back when.......

I do take credit for "Bacon Rain"  8) 8)

I also use "fugly" and "hoot en nanny" alot  :D   and sometimes  "pigbutt".......... :D

You will like the results "Jack"   save any trimmings and toss em on along with bacon and maybe some fresh spices and your choice of rub. Gives you a different flavor profile  8)
