First Low And Slow On A 26er - Ribs
« on: April 18, 2015, 11:01:55 AM »
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.

If I'm being totally honest I only want to see more pictures of the ribs in the hopes that I really get to see more of the Arostocrat...

Two and a half hours in and I am foiling:



I foiled with Parkay, brown sugar, honey and Tiger sauce:

Ribs went about an hour fifteen in the foil then I sauced them and cooked for about 20 minutes:





The wife nor her daughter will eat my ribs so mushroom and burgers it is for them:



While the burgers were cooking I helped myself to a rib or 4:









Damn good ribs....big red cooling as the sun goes down:

Nice photoset, Hoss. I love sauced ribs. I find it funny that you are protecting that ashpan with the smaller one from a modern OTS. @austin87 This cook could be you! When are you firing up the 26'r redhead?

@pbe gummi bear - that's a pan from a Jumbo Joe. I toss it on top of my MBH pans to catch grease. I used to foil the pans but this is easier.

I want those ribs. No, I want that kettle. No, I want the ribs. I mean the kettle.

It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch
