Title: Birthday boulder and bbacks..
Post by: squirtthecat on July 22, 2012, 01:41:32 PM
MIL's birthday is today, and I've got the MAK fired up for a week's worth of good eats.

Start with a 9 pound turkey boulder (boneless) and some Sriracha.

Schmear.  Skin on the bottom to protect from the direct heat.  We toss it out anyway.

Almost forgot the extra smoke!   Fire in the hole.....

Katy is in the shade keeping an eye on things.

Rib time.   More garlic heat, and some of Tee's tasty rub.

Heavy on the rub, and just a quick squirt of the Thai stuff to make it look wet.

We'll check back in 3 hours and see how the boulder is coming along.

PS.  There is a pan of hot beer on the bottom rack as well.   The extra moisture really helps out these leaner bbacks.

Ribs are taking some color now.   Spritzed with some balsamic vinegar and lemon water.

Boulder is coming along nicely.  Getting some 'rib drip love' as well.   :D

A full smoker is a happy smoker.

Ribs are about ready for glazing.   The boulder is at 152°, so I'll give it another 10 minutes or so and then foil it up tight to rest.

We'll call them done.   

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-E72KK3satCk/UAx96mLzB4I/AAAAAAABkJU/_NWSqHS2PEQ/s912/IMGP1511.JPG)

Triple wrapped and stuffed in a Sam's Club insulated bag.


I've got a faux cold pasta salad chilling in the fridge, and Mrs and MIL are on the way back from a STL bball game. (and a SWEEP of the Cubbies  ;))

Phew, it was getting hot out there and I am beat.   Time for a cold one.
