99 pounds of meat -- post 2, the ribs

[Gil Matar]

We had 21 pounds of beef ribs, which we made on the 18.5. These were made by my friends Erik and Rhona, who flew in from Philly for this event:

Ribs look delicious!

Man oh man, you are doing some great cooking Gil! Curious: did you leave some racks intact and pre cut others?

 

[Gil Matar]

Yes Jim. I had to take what the butcher had -- we're Kosher, so depending on what he gets that week determines what cuts I get -- everything was on the bone, but some were English cut. And since we had so many people, there would not have been enough ribs for everyone without cutting off some of the meat. So some got bones, some didn't. But all were happy.

Wow, you are my newest hero....that's a feast!

 

[Bob Sample]

Good job. Those trimmed ones look like big ol burnt ends. That's a good thing.

 

[Jon Des.]

That's awesome. I've never seen 21 lbs. of beef ribs in a WSM, but I feel like I've seen Jim Lampe's dream.
