I normally coat my ribs in a little olive or grape seed oil but decided to try something different today. I coated the ribs in a thin layer of yellow mustard. Done this on butts before and I know plenty do it for ribs.
A couple days ago I got a metal drill bit to bore out the rivets on a bowl that had lost all her vents. It was the wrong type of drill bit for the job and after a PM to Buckie I went and got a titanium bit today. It worked like a charm. The kettle in question was acquired from Michigan back in November with the help of
@LightningBoldtz...who also subsequently grabbed me the new set of vents. I cleaned up the legs and attempted the triangle this morning but ran out of time:

Cooked the ribs at 300-325f lid temp using a combo of RO Blue Bag and Coshell with pecan chunks tossed in.

Sauced and done:

It was up to 6 degrees Celsius today and mostly sunny. Sitting out on the back deck was a nice change.....the hound was liking it too:

That cooker on the end is the most beat and cost me the least but damn.....I'd take her over the others in a heart beat. I had originally thought to gift that Kettle to someone but now realize she is mine for life most probably. The Kettle has many rust wounds, the handle is a little crooked and the lid is quite warped. No one not afflicted with Weberitis would appreciate Laverne and I could not pass her on unless it was appreciated.
Great lookin cook. Love the photo of your babies all lined up.
Man, just about punched the smoke ring all the way thru those !!!
Nice Cook!!!!!
The pup looks pretty happy to be out in the sunshine....I know mine really like not being cooped up during the cold & rain....
RIBS! Outstanding!
Nice looking bones, Hoss. I used to do the mustard coating on ribs before applying rub ... now I use EVOO instead. Like it better.
Great looking ribs! I have been using dijon mustard lately.
great cook
amazing what you can do with a 45 yr old grill....
I noticed the ashpan mod as well, what did you do there?

That's a JJ ash pan I put in to catch any grease dripping down....I didn't want to get the old one any dirtier than it already is.
@MacEggs I like EVOO better too.

Yeah that's one hell of a ring!
Hoss those look super, I'm ready for breakfast.
Damn those ribs looks perfect! Sweet dog too.
I know what you're saying about the beat up ones, I just finished rehabbing my old beat up kettle, and I love it more than any other grill I have. It's like rescuing an abused dog at the pound, no one else wants 'em, but treat 'em right and they'll love all the more for it. R-R-R
This picture is almost mesmerizing... Do you start with that top rib?? or go for that delicious looking front piece? Where to begin?! ;) ;D
