October Ribs, Beans and Taters'

SixZeroFour · October 05, 2015, 10:09:20 AM

We haven't made ribs in a few weeks so when the grocery store put some real nice looking sides on sale the other day I couldn't resist. Home they came for destined for Saturday nights dinner...

Both racks were seasoned with some 3 Eyz BBQ Rub

The WSM will be in charge of smoking duties this fine evening:

Rather than using a chimney, I recently started loading the charcoal ring right up and then using the gas assist to light the briquettes directly. Saves a little time and since it's a small flame it only lights the center briquettes so its perfect to start off a low n slow cook.

After about 7 min I gave the center briquettes a quick turnover with the tongs and then allowed them to burn for another 10min... almost looks like fireworks in there

Then onto the smoker along with some CI beans and baked potatoes riding down below...

After about 6 hours the ribs and taters were removed from the WSM smelling amazing!

One of the racks had a real large boneless rib tip at the end so it was cut up and then...

Into the beans! Ribs were then foil wrapped and kept in a cooler for an hour or so while the beans thickened up.

Really simple baked taters with a mix of sea salt, smoked sea salt, and fresh ground pepper. So Good!

And here's the plate up. The 3 Eyz rub was very tasty and worth trying if you spot it in your travels!

Thanks for stopping in!

I love the WSM performer. I know I read about it but that is a kettle bowl attached the frame, right?

Great looking meal you've got there!

Food looks good......almost as good as the cooker.

That is one amazing cooking machine you built! Great to see it in action. I like the idea of using the gas assist as a starter for low and slow, like it was made for just such a task.

Wine barrel oak smoke is the best!

Thanks - That's the standard performer bowl section still in the cart. The lid bale hardware was removed and holes capped and then I added the legs for extra support. Otherwise the WSM center section just drops in perfectly.

Ha - I just noticed the bottle opener - clearly a valued accessory when you are cooking.

No one is going to steal that!
