Title: Ribs and wings post honeymoon
Post by: akruckus on March 17, 2015, 01:47:53 PM

Back from the honeymoon and I fired up the PBC for some ribs and try my hand at wings.  Two take aways, do not buy spur of the moment ribs from the grocery store with a pork brand you do not know.  Second wait 10 minutes longer to the coals stoked back up to make the wings crispier.

Dry brining some wings

Rubbed me some Ribs with my homemade rub, sweet to start but finishes with some heat that builds toward the end but doesn't get spicy.

4 hours later Sauced and ready to go back to hang.

Wrap to rest

I left the lid off the barrel and took out the rebar to try and bring the temp up. Should have waited a little longer, but we were hungry Wing time after 24 hours of dry brine

There is a coal fired pizza chain that has some really good wings so I tried to use their flavors.  Rosemary and garlic with butter, olive oil, and a touch of bacon fat to coat the wings before they went on the grill.

Cut up the ribs waiting for the wings

Wings were ready.

Would have liked to use fresh rosemary, but it didn't make the list for me to remember, plus we had other things to restock. Live and learn.  Probably get it fired up again for NCAA tourny watching to see how flipping a coin works for me since I know zero about NCAA basketball.

Itching to get better.  The BBQ addiction is really kicking in with warmer weather on the way.

Nice cook! I've done several "ribs and wings" cooks now, and I agree with your advice about waiting a few more minutes before putting the chicken on. That initial hot grate temp is good for rendering the skin for a few minutes while the temp gradually decreases and stabilizes after you put the lid on.

Those ribs don't look to shabby for being a no name brand. Good looking PBC cook.

Congrats on the marriage  :)

Those ribs look excellent!

The wings look good too!

It is not illegal to leave the lid off the PBC at the end to finish the skin on your wings ;)

Just keep a good eye on them. It only takes a few minutes.
