It was a long week, with storms, tornadoes, hail, and then more rain. We had a beautiful weekend, low 60s and sunny. So Saturday I did up 3 racks of ribs. Testing out different rubs, we have a neighborhood backyard rib brawl in July. The middle plate won, with the far right a close second. It took about 4hrs, I used lighter fluid this time. Barrel ran about 275, most of time. They were delicious. Sunday I tried chicken again, lighter fluid method. I pulled one rod out, I like to cook chicken at a higher temp. It sat around 310. I cooked the chicken to an internal of 169, I know 165 is the new standard. But I don't trust it still. The chicken came out awesome. I cant use any other word for it really. I put the PBC Beef and Game on it. I used one fist size chunk of apple wood on both cooks.
