ribs

I've been smoking, pretty regularly, for about a year and a half now. It's become a bit of an addiction - but a good one. (I fear what will happen if I start home brewing). My brisket game is TIGHT. I've got people lining up for pulled pork... But my rib game has been GOOD, but not GREAT...

Smoked S&P (and cumin) Spare Ribs This summer seems to be the season of spare ribs for us. I have been smoking lots of racks this year. My wife, always there with her thoughts, has let me know that she likes tightly trimmed St. Louis racks. She does not want to deal with any cartilage...

I picked up some extra meaty baby back ribs, used one of my favorite rib rubs, and instead of my usual way of smoking them, I decided to grill them up instead. I flipped the ribs about every 5 minutes or so, until they looked done to me. They ribs turned out great!!! Moist, nice little smoke...

Hey everyone, I purchased a WSM 18.5 a few weeks ago, and started by cooking a few rounds of bacon and sausage to "season" it. Last weekend I cooked two chickens to better learn how the smoker works. This weekend I graduated to Ribs! I made a few mistakes, but the end result was still...

Hey Smokers! So I need some assistance. I've owned my WSMs for about a year and would consider myself a novice but definitely know my way around the smokers. I think I may have bit off a bit more than I can chew with a party I'm throwing tomorrow. Here's what I got... 1- 22" WSM 1- 18" WSM 1-...

Our local grocery chain, Stators, has spare ribs on sale for $1.49 lb for Father's day weekend. Decided to get on early start on weekend grilling! Threw on some Memphis rub, first time trying it. I actually liked the flavor of the rub. Grilled the ribs directly, flipping them over and over...

Hello All, I am new to this forum and new to the Smoker world. I am a new WSM owner, I just purchased the 18.5in last Saturday. Much to my wife's reservations I proudly brought it home and set up that night. Sunday was my first attempt in the world of smoking and I have to say, I was very happy...

Hi all, Yes I and quite late in posting photos from St Paddy's day. I tried the quick pastrami from preseason corned beef. Bought the corned beef at Costco and also some bb ribs just in case my experiment did not work. I followed the directions from the VWBB site to make pastrami from corned...

I am hoping some of my fellow VWBB friends can help me with a problem. I have had a heck of a time finding some good ribs to smoke. I had good success going to Costco up until last spring. The last several packs of ribs I have gotten there have not been good. I have been searching my area for a...

This is a step-by-step of my first cook in my recently made smoker shed with my WSM 18.5". http://www.pbase.com/scottbergerphoto/first_cook_in_new_smoker_shed Your comments and questions are welcome. Best regards, Scott

I just made the best ribs I've made so far, and I brined them. I used the same rub I always do (with salt) and the ribs came out awesome--not overly salty at all. The ribs were a little richer than usual, but in a good way and that just made the ribs go farther (most people had 2-3 ribs instead...

Hey folks, I've missed you all terribly, almost as much as I've missed cooking on my favourite grill. Life has been busy, and I haven't been cooking much out of doors because we've got lots of snow and it's been -30C for way too long around here. I'm also in the middle of a complete rebuild...

I thought I would add my cook since everyone else showed what delicious food they made. I just did ribs with a simple seasoning and basted with teriyaki (for my wife), on the other half I did Memphis style. I was going to throw the mac and cheese on the smoker too but the wind ate through my...

My oldest daughter is the only one in the family who's team is still playing football so I started this cook with some beer brewed in Seattle for support. Also slathered a couple racks of ribs with mustard and home made rub. Put on the WSM with a mix of Apple and cherry chunks. Meanwhile...

Did some baby backs for the Pats game. Sorry to see my team lose, but congrats to Denver! Was a cold and windy day, but used a welding blanket. Worked great! Set it up minion with lump and lit with a few handfuls of KBB. (on a side note it has taken me a while to get the minion method working...

Hi, in the Christmas week i tried to cook a new beef cut, new for me. Beef top blade roast slow smoked in my Smoker Joe, my MiniWSM. In Italy is traditionally used to make broth or braised. 4,8 lb. Light injection with light salted beef broth. I've applied a rub and slow smoked for 10h at 220°F...

Ribs rubbed with my homemade rub Ribs on the smoker with 3 chunks of Hickory. Had water in the pan. Never lifted lid for 6 hours only to put some Stubbs Hickory Bourbon sauce on. WSM ran steady between 250-268 Then the veggies are getting ready to go on the Performer for my homemade Salsa On the...

I hung a slab of baby backs this past Wednesday and liked them so much I did some more today. Left them hanging for four hours at 235. They turned out awesome both times. Hung with plowboys on mine on the left and nothing on the right for the wife Finished at four hours Waiting to bet...

I have a cook off coming up at a local bar. We will be smoking 2 whole shoulders and 3 racks of baby back ribs. I have two WSN 18.5 inch smokers which i can use. I plan on putting the 2 shoulders on one, and the three racks of ribs on the other. My question is i've never smoked a whole...
