Title: Spare ribs and errands
Post by: smokeasaurus on September 03, 2015, 07:30:32 PM
We had a whole bunch of running around to do (which I found out after I seasoned the ribs)....(darn good thing I hadn't fired up the Good One yet), so I uncovered the MES smoker.
Cut the spares in half and laced em down heavy with Fine Swine & Bovine....available here;  http://savorspices.com/
Then tossed a little Bob Tallman's All Around on top for good measure.......Who is Bob Tallman? If you have ever tried to make 8, ya know who Mr.Tallman is  8)

Into the MES with Dr.Brownstone chips and set at 225

Off to shopping...now I have to admit it is kind of strange running around the mountain knowing you got meat cooking, but electric smokers generate soft moist steady heat....nuttin to worry about
When I went to wrap I channeled my inner "Johnny Trigg" and added brown sugar, local mountain honey, butter and a splash of BBQ sauce into the foil and back in for an hour...came out purdy

Used the sweet mixture in the foil for a little dippin sauce

How were they? Very tender and tasty. I do like charcoal and wood way better......however.....can't run a wood smoker when you are not home  8) 8)

Looks good. You should have faked an illness to get out of shopping. I hate shopping

Those look great. Going to try your "wrap sauce".

I do like my electric CB smoker because I am usually running the girls around or at softball games, gymnastics, etc.

It just seems like I have few days to just set around and do nothing and manage a fire......heck, I had more time for that when I was working  ??? ???
