Old school ribs that is. Wendy's youngest daughter Autumn is going to marry a wonderful young man. His name is Kyler. He is a youth pastor at a Christian Church and just a all around great guy.
However, he can't be getting hitched until he can man the pit.
The Smoke will make sure he will be all set
We removed the silver on a couple of St. Louis spares. Seasoned one with Burnt Offerings Memphis rub and the other with Kinders brown sugar rub.
No Kingsford or lump today. We used some fat wood to get some kindling started we picked up in the yard. When we had a good coal base we started adding oak wood.
The Char-Griller Outlaw really surprised me. Other than one heat spike to 300 at the beginning, it was pretty easy to run. When the temps started hitting 275, I just opened the fire-box door and she would settle in around 230 until I added another split. Other than having to re-paint the fire-box today, so far so good.
Got the ribs on. Used a water pan by the fire-box opening and it boiled nicely throughout the cook. Only mods to this pit is adding a thermometer at grate level and the dryer vent to drop the smokestack exit lower
5 hours later we got these super tender bad boys
Kyler had to leave today. He will be flying to South Carolina to spend time with family for 9 days. I am sure going to miss him, but we have many more good times ahead of us.......................
