Used my 26er to cook burgers yesterday....only the 2nd cook with the first being wings. Today is side ribs so this will be my first proper low and slow on it. This was owned by a fella that only cooked on it 3 or 4 times....there was still protective grease on the cooking grate when I got it. I figure this Aristocrat has never seen proper bbq till now:
Ribs were coated in a light layer of grapeseed oil then some fluer de sel and into the fridge for an hour and a half. Made up a rub with paprika, pepper, chipolte mango rub, granulated garlic, onion powder, chili powder, cumin and ginger. This went on as the ribs were coming to room temp and the Kettle was getting fired up.
Shortly after the ribs hit the Kettle:
Clean sweet smell of oak:
The plan is to foil when these get the right colour and bark. I'll add shots later. Damn it is gorgeous where I live today. Warmest it's been all Spring.
