I picked up a 5.25 pound rack of short ribs from our local butcher the other day. After trimming off the
excess hard fat, I ended up with about 4.50 pounds of ribs. I put some Worcestershire on the rack then
seasoned them with seasoning salt, Simply Marvelous Peppered Cow and Montreal Steak.
Put onto the Grid Iron using cherry pellets with oak pellets in the 6 inch tube. First hour will be at 185.
I put some pig candy on the smoker to use with my sides tonight. I bumped the smoker up to 225.
I put together a foil packet consisting of red potatoes, onion, sliced baby Portabella mushrooms, red and
orange peppers. I decided to use the same foil that I did the bacon in so the potatoes would get some of
the bacon grease. I seasoned everything with garlic pepper and WOW.
I then chopped up some of the pig candy and added it to the pile of goodness.
Last week at Jaxon’s house Albert Rivera did some stuffed avocados. I didn’t have any shrimp and the
Conecuh sausage I have is extra spicy, which is alright with me, but we are having my daughter in law
and grand baby here for dinner and they don’t do spicy. So I found a package of Kielbasa in the freezer
and went with it.
Potatoes on upper rack, Kielbasa and avocados on the bottom. Ribs are looking good.
Avocados are done.
After the avocados cooled down I loaded them with chopped kielbasa, bacon and cheddar cheese.
Potato mixture is done.
Avocados back onto the Grid Iron to melt the cheese and reheat.
Avocados are done.
Ribs were at 180 and I called them done. I normally take them to at least 200 but started too late and too low of
temp.
All plated up and ready to eat.

Ribs were real good, but next time I take them to 200 like the last ones I did. I started them way
too late and we were getting hungry so we ate. They were a bit chewy, with awesome bark, and
no one seemed to mine the chewiness since they were loaded with flavor. Potatoes and avocados
were delicious!
Thanks for looking at my cookin and putting up with this long post!
