I spend the better part of six months scouring the local stores for ribs worthy of going in the smoker.
What I do is find stores that cut their own rib-eyes off the rib roast and then sell the ribs. That way I don't get racks of ribs that have had the meat cut out of them between the bones. I refuse to buy the packer ribs any more.
I usually invite a group of people over, which is why there are so many ribs, but this year a few bowed out at the last minute so there will only be four of us this time.
On the menu:
Ribs smoked for about 6 hours, a side of homemade BBQ sauce for those that want it. Potato salad made fresh this morning, coleslaw and baked beans.
Of course there is going to be a beer or two, and the cream of the crop, Huckleberry margaritas.
I load the smoker with Jack Daniels smoking chips, fill the pan with H2O, parsley, onions, garlic and a liberal splash of Jack Daniels.
Then in go the ribs.
This is a labor of love, so protection is always a necessity in case a horde of meat thieves come down the street, I won't even let them get close.
Here in a few hours maybe I'll put up pics along with the after action report.
This time I am also going to try smoking some eggs. I have a feeling a smoked egg salad or smoked eggs and smoked salmon together with crackers and cream cheese will be the cat's meow..... or something like that.
