As you may know, IR2DUM made his migration from Houston to Wilmington Last weekend, stopping in here for a cookout. Some of you may have figgered out that he has to drive BACK to Houston at some point in time. Well, today was that day. He left Wilmington real early this morning so he could get here in time for lunch (somehow he always manages to get here at mealtime).
We were ready for him today with those huge beef ribs - similar to what he served me out in central Texas last year. I wasn't sure how to cook 'em so I watched Aaron Franklin cook some on YouTube - - and got the idea. THEN I opened my official Aaron Franklin smokin' guide and read the step by step.
I had to get up before breakfast this morning to start the offset, but she held steady at 285 whilst the ribs were kissed with smoke and yielded their juicy, tender, delicious goodness.
As a matter of fact, he and I both took a couple of pictures. Mine are in a format that won't fit on this site, so you'll just have to wait until he can post. I'll just say they turned out. We had asparagus, and baked potato on the side and homemade peach ice scream for dessert...oh, and Deb's chocolate chip cookies.
