So a month ago I was invited to a Rib-Off with cousins in Central-Coast of Cali.You had to bring your own grill,table etc.The ribs where supplied.Its 5 hour drive for me,so I packed everything I could think of that I would need.Knowing I am part of this Kettle community,I was picked on about which grill I was bringing?Well I didn’t have enough room for a grill and I didn’t want to strap one to the roof.So I opted for my standard mini WSM.I knew I could cook a rack pretty good on that thing.The wife’s head almost exploded”Of All the grills...?!”
I arrive the morning of the Rib-Off and everyone is getting set up(about 5 smokers).Well I’m getting laughed at when I pull the mini WSM out.I am told we are cooking three racks not just one! WTF?On top of that one of the guys brought a Traeger(The Ivan Drago of smokers).Lets do this.
I had a rib rack for two racks and skewers in my box so I curled the third rack and pinned them with the skewers.Set up the mini and didn’t have to touch the coals once.It stayed consistent @260 for 8hrs.We drank beer,talked shit and in the end I WON!
I’m writing this long story to Thank this community.I have learned SO much being here,from restoring,mods,to cooking techniques.Peace out
