Rib cook for my good friends Bill (BD) & Robb (rwalters)

[sparky]

This great thing about this forum is the ppl.  Bill's cooks on his 26 kettle have always impressed me with the great food he produces.  I really like it.  Robb is a bad influence.  He had been my friend for awhile.  We talk BBQ stuff a the time.  Robb told me that he loves his 26 and SnS.  I have been having good luck smoking with my 22 and SnS.  I like my WSM's in the past but love smoking with my kettles.  Easy adjustments, clean up and produces good smoked food. 

So Bill and Robb this one's for y'all.

Fun in the sun.  26 kettle, SnS and spinning grate.  Cooked for 4 hours or so at a temp between 260 - 275°.  I haven't been wrapping my ribs lately because I'm liking the texture and it interrupts my pool time.

Got it all set up.



A little hot coals.



I found some new rubs at Wal-Mart.  Wanted to try them out.  Weber original rub and a spicy chocolate rub.  What should we cook.  You know.....



Looking good.



Oh these turned out good.



Look at the moisture in this rib.  Nice ring too.



Good bite to them and my wife (who has had 100's of ribs from me) loved them.  Ya....



Thanks to Bill and Robb for the great post and inspiration that you both give me.  It means a lot to me.

You finally did it... the 26.75 w SnS!!!!!!!  Excited to see you put it to good use. The ribs look FANTASTIC!! While you were cruising low n slow last night, I had my 26.75 cranking out some 2” reverse seared steaks. Gotta love the versatility of the big ole kettle/SnS setup!  Congrats Gus!  By the way, speaking of bad influences, I think it’s your fault that I have a MAK sitting in my backyard

Gus,
Those ribs look up to your usual standards!!  That spicy chocolate rub sounds interesting.  I'll be on the lookout for it.

Robb,
That steak looks killer.  Just the way I like to cook them.

You are still the rib master. And I think you are the reason I have a Mak as well.

Thanks Sparky ! ! !  Those look really, really, good.

BTW, it was you who put the 26er bug in my ear, waaay back when, when you proposed that it was such a good grill, it's the one grill you would keep if you could only keep one.

Funny thing is . . . I'm now basically a one-cooker guy.  I'm now on the 26er at least 95% of the time and the good old 22.5 WSM is rarely used anymore.  A lot of that is possible due to great products like the Slow n' Sear, the Vortex, and the Cajun Bandit Roti ! ! !

If going with only 1 cooker, you sure do have the right make/model. I absolutely love the versatility of the 26.75 kettle!!!

Yeah, Robb, we're getting a little off topic, but just a quick look at what's cookin' now . . . .
