I am still learning to trim them up to Saint Louis style ribs.

Life can be quite short if you live too hard.

Looks good to me! What type wood will you smoke it with and what temp?

Great pix, keep'em come'n!

BigAl, hmm that name sounds familiar.


I will be using pecan wood and Apricot wood.

I will be smoking the ribs around 225.f. And I am using a modified 3 - 2 - 1 method.


Thank you guys.

I know I still have a "LONG WAYS" to go before my trim jobs can even come close to a St Louis Trim.

Here are the ribs getting a little dry rub love.

For today's Demo I didn't dry rub the bones.

Anyways here is the rib s right before the smoker.

I will show the final rib after I've plated it ok?

Have you tried using rum instead of Jack D. ?

No Sir,

I don't try anything else but old faithful Number 7.

You have a very nice looking cast iron pot. Perhaps you coul tell us more about it and what and how you're cooking your witch's (bruja?) brew.

JustplainBill.

I will have to look at the name but it's one the old one's I inherited from my grand mother.

I has some kind of cross type symbol on it.

And what's in the C.I?

It's Mahogany Red BBQ Sauce.

Sounds like a Griswold. Good pan. They used to be made in Erie, by where I live.
One of the sought after oldtime CI cookware.

Thank you Pacanis, I think my grandmother said something along those lines.

Now it's time to pack up for the sams club comp, WOW I don't know if I can make the long journey.

Anyways the awesome, most awesome I've ever cooked.

We've also upgraded the mac & cheese with 5 oz graded greyier cheese.

Awesome, Just awesome stuff...

Looks like exactly the right amount of shrinkage but I like mine a bit pinker / wetter in the middle.

Very nice!!! Great look'n plate, ribs with shells & cheese! Fantastic job on all the pix and the pull back on the bones.

Home run!
