Nice! Are you doing spare or BB

BBs.  We're not a fan of spares, no matter how much cheaper they are.

i so agree.  i love da bb backs.   

I do prefer BBs but the last couple of times I've posted threads they've been on spares I've cut to St. Louis. They've been really good.
I will admit, I cringe when I see $15 for a rack of BBs vs $10 for a Spare.

That pulled pork looks great.

It all looks great!

I love baby backs but find St.Louis to be good and even better for the price

I do nothing but St. Louis. More meat, but value IMHO.

9:30AM and it is a crisp 80° outside..    Fire in the hole!

But first things first.



Gonna try out my AMZNPS smoker today.  But I didn't pick up a torch or fire gel to light it.   Hmm...   What I need is an open flame.


This might work.




We have ignition..




Yes!  (don't try this at home, kids)




Cue up the chicken parts and bback ribs.   A little love to rub them with..




Chicken goes on the bottom.   I skinned two of the split breasts to see if I get any more smoke/rub flavor into the meat. (or if they will just dry out and be a total waste of time)




Ribs up top.




Lid down and the MAK is cruising at 245°.   We'll check back in 90 or so.

Keeping a hairy eyeball on this cook!!

Reading 160s in the dark meat, so off it comes and into the crock pot.

Nice color.  Must be all that AMZN smoke. 




Ribs are looking good as well.

I don't even have to ask. You LIKE IT don't you!!

[squirtthecat]

I don't even have to ask. You LIKE IT don't you!!

So far so good!   It's burning fast...     Right over the airflow.    Next time I might park it to one side.

[squirtthecat]

Rolling smoke!




Split chix hit 158° or so.  Into the crockpot with the dark meat..  (gonna make Smokey/Spicy pulled chicken with all of this)




Ribs are coming along.   Spritzing with a concoction of MrsSTC's lemon flavored water and some balsamic vinegar.   No foil this time, but a 1/2 steam table pan full of warm water and a can of beer that spent a week in a 100° car trunk.

Good use of a probably non drinkable brewskie!!!!

[squirtthecat]

Time to mix up some Balsamic Blues Hog glaze.   I'm flat out of cider vinegar, so we made do.. 





Covered with some foil and parked on top of the grill to reduce a bit.


Cracked the lid for a spritz/peek at the ribs..



Oh yeah.

I'll probably start glazing them in another 30 minutes or so.

[squirtthecat]

Time for some paint..

[sparky]

man those look good.  love the color of the chicken.
