Back 2 Basics BBQ
« Reply #-1 on: June 04, 2012, 07:29:07 AM »
Sometimes it doesn't hurt to go back to the fundamentals.

3-2-1 ribs.



Score the membranes (I can never get them off of this particular brand), slather with mustard, and coat liberally with your favorite BBQ Rub.  Going with Williams today and a Tabasco laced mustard for a bit of a twang.




Into the Traeger at 225-245°.



A little before 3, I'll give them a painting of Blues Hog cut with AC vinegar, and foil them for a couple hours.

--

Meanwhile, I was jamming to my new toy.  Grace WiFi radio. 




It's loaded with Pandora, IHeartRadio, some NPR thing and NOAA Weather Radio. (and Sirius Radio if I wasn't too much of a cheapskate to pay for that)  It's just a hair out of WiFi range on my BBQ patio, so I moved it to the deck.


Was is the operative word..    These guys made a close pass.   I wish they would fly on the other side of the interstate!





Charlie Don't Surf!

--

Hit them with a 50/50 mix of Blues Hog and Apple Cider vinegar.




Conundrum.   I'm almost out of foil.   :o

Ok, whack in half and into a deep pan.



Cover tight.


And 2 stragglers that I manged to get wrapped up.



We'll check back in '2'.    Might not need the '1' at the end the way they are looking now..

--

After about 90 minutes in the foil/pan.




Back in and use up the last of the glaze.   45 minutes or so while the Traeger is cooling down.




Oh Yeah..




Took them inside, and that part of a rack ended up as 'Quality Control' over the sink.


Tender, indeed!




MrsSTC said "this" is how you should make them for us from now on...

Awrighten!

A plate of clean bones... yeah, I'd say that's proof that going back to basics is the right move!

Of course, I think I might need my own plate of clean bones just to be sure. ;)

That is a great lookin' cook!

I am looking up the radio  right now! Sounds like a great idea. Tell us what camera you are using, and if you are shooting in program mode, aperture priority, shutter priority....or some form of manual. Your photos always look phenomenal ! The color balance is the first thing I see, then the sharpness of the images.
Are you doing any post processing?

I got it from Amazon.   114 bucks - give or take.   I'm really liking it so far - it has a great sound from just a little bitty thing.

The camera is a gently used Pentax K200D.  Just shooting in Auto mode.   I use Picasa to host the pictures, and it does some basic post-processing for color balance, etc.   

For every 20 pictures I take, 1 turns out really good.   ;D    Thx for the compliments.
