Title: Ribs and Sweets on the Red Rat
Post by: Duke on October 23, 2012, 08:45:07 PM

I found this small pack of pork ribs on sale and thought I would smoke them on my old red kettle today. I rubbed them with Dizzy Pig Original unsalted and was really impressed that they came out so good sans salt. Look at that carmelization on the plated shot. I also used some nice peachwood for smoke. I served them with Ole Rays Peachalicous sauce. http://www.olerayssauces.com/products.htm  I slathered the sweets with some butter, honey and Mansmiths Cinnamon Stuff. I really need to do some more pork ribs with it. http://www.mansmith.com/Cinnamon-Stuff-(Salt-Free)-p16.html

That looks delish! I have to ask, how hot does the 'Rat's handle get?

It depends. When I cook low under 350 not bad, otherwise I need a glove. It never get's so hot that a regular glove won't work. I use one at those temps with wood handles anyways.

I was wondering, because I figure if my wood handles get hot (and I also use a glove at times), the metal ones would melt my hand.

Cool little basket you got there with the charcoal in it.  How long did you have to cook the sweet taters?

They took around three hours at around 250. I made the basket from expanded metal. It's easy to shake out and top off before a cook and the charcoal never touches the kettle.

Good Show.....Personally, I think salts of any kind are overrated........

Past a small amount, just tastes salty ??

Great Lookin' cook !!!!
