tri tip on new years eve...

seasoned with oakridge bbq santa maria rub

on the 26"otg weber kettle ... indirect and probed for a 118ºF internal temp

then direct to sear to a 128ºF temp

it's dam cold outside...

...and my beer was freezing....

once the desired temp was achieved, the beef was removed from the heat and rested....
then sliced after a 20 minute rest.

liz added some to her plate of Hasselback potatoes...

...and asparagus...

...and plopped a few slices on my plate as well...

then today, new years day.... I seasoned a rack of spares with blues hog rub

using the same grill from the night before, I added apple wood to the snake method using kingsford charcoal
these cooked about 3½ hours before I decided to foil them...

after about 45 minutes, I removed the foil, left the ribs on the grill then glazed the pork with blues hog bbq sauce...
a mix of both regular and Tennessee Red....

left on the grill ANOTHER 30 minutes before removing to rest 'round 15 minutes to slice and serve with ....
....skillet baked taters and sautéed carrots with roasted Brussels sprouts.

both meals were wonderful and most enjoyable...
We both hope everyone here has a healthy, wealthy and joyous New Year!
Thank you much for stoppin' by
