So, what's everyone cooking this 3 day weekend?

[rwalters]

I love having friends/family over on the 4th of July.  We host a swim/fireworks/BBQ party every year.  Decided this year that we are gonna go with a mess of ribs and chicken.  Will put MAK to work Monday morning with the Ribs, and then toss the chicken quarters onto BigJOE early Monday afternoon.  I am responsible for all of the protein... all side dishes have been assigned out.  Works for me :-)

What are you guys up too?  Hoping we ALL have lots of pics to share after the holiday

I'm doing a simple half rack of St. Louis ribs tomorrow and will be doing a 6lb pork butt on Monday using the remaining Barrel Aged Salt Lick sauce.

Beer can yardbirds, corn, mac and cheese and any other animal I can find

For Sunday early dinner at my in-laws, I'm bringing smoked better-than-baked beans, custard filled cornbread, and a cheesecake, all to be done on my MAK.
For Monday at my house, I'm doing 3 slabs of baby backs.

Sounds like we'll all be eating great this weekend!

What are the rest of you guys/gals cooking up?

Ribs on WSM old school.  Chicken and sausage on the PBC.  Twice baked taters, pineapple poppers and monks on the elite.  Burgers, dogs and grill fruit on the kettle.  Blender always on.  Margaritas for the crew.

Dang Sparky!!!


Serious question...on the MAK...did you wrap your baby backs, or let 'em ride naked the entire cook?  Curious to know the rib whispers MAK technique

Anybody needs me I'll be at Sparkys place

Everybody has there own way of doing ribs.  Here's how I've been cooking the baby backs on my MAK: 2.5 hours on top rack at 250 meat side up, then 1.5 hours wrapped in foil with butter, brown sugar, and honey on both sides cooked meat side down.  Sauced then back on for 30 minutes.

I might try cooking them without foiling this time...225 for 5 hours possibly.

Your method is outstanding! Have used it many times with great results :-)
