RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIBS

[Illiciter]

A week ago I was running into the grocery store for some TP and whatever and stumbled across a cryovac bag of spare ribs. So yesterday on my day off I decided to do my first smoke of the year on them. It was also the first time I used horseradish and "Da' Bomb" hotsauce in the mustard I usually apply to the meat before I add my own special dry rub. I was aiming for spicy.

13lbs of Peachwood, a few handfuls of oak charcoal, and about 5 hours later I get these babies pulling clean off the bone:

MMMMMM MMMMM BEYOTCH! I didn't even use a mop, that liquid you see in the first pic is the natural juices.. I don't know why it looks like blood, but that's pretty f*cking metal!

Anyone else bust out their smoker?

correction.. that is caribbean chicken with pineapple salsa

The chicken is made with a lime marinade that includes dijon mustard, cayenne pepper, and horseradish.. it's friggin FIRE. and the pineapple salsa has fresh medium jalapeno peppers.. but the pineapple and honey cancel everything out so it's like fire/water experience the whole meal.

Actually now I'm hungry for that...

But you didn't want to know about the smoked game hen?

That is put in a brine of apple cider and apple cider vinegar.. you use a handful or so of peppercorns, a cup of orange juice, about 3 or 4 tablespoons of cayenne pepper, a tablespoon of white pepper, and you can throw in some onions if you want. Let it brine for 24 hours or so in the fridge.

Before smoking coat the hen with olive oil and red pepper oil, smoke for about an hour a pound at 225-250, nice thick rolling apple wood smoke works perfectly. Re-coat the chicken with the oil mix as it dries out. Usually after an hour or so.


Brisket is a cinch, would you like me to explain?

Really? Why is that?

IDK, I'm weird. Or maybe I haven't tried very good BBQ sauce, but the kind I have tried I don't like so much. Again with the weird though, just ask the Blackberry crew. They give me constant **** and are under the illusion that they're gonna get me too try all this **** this weekend. NEGATIVE. NOOOOO OYSTERS!!!

I don't use any BBQ sauce on my ribs or brisket or pork shoulder

Good BBQ shouldn't require sauce, but it is nice for those times when you over cooked the meat just a hair too much...


So find a place that puts the sauce on the side, and eat some damn ribs, weirdo.

I find myself being slightly offended by this comment and I didn't invent or ever even make BBQ sauce.... I hate oysters though so I can agree with you there!

I prefer my ribs with the sauce on the side though. Of course, there is always the debate of how a BBQ sandwich should be made though. I like mine nice a vinegar-y, Carolina style......MMMMMmmmmm. Carolina style is good but it's still not the same as BBQ that's actually made in NC. You have to get some if you ever go through.
