Christmas 2022

[ChuckO]

Merry belated Christmas to all my BBQ Brothers & Sisters. Hope your Christmas was Merry, it would seem some of you had some serious weather to contend with. Hopefully everyone is safe and sound

FoodMaxx had a decent deal on Rib Roasts, picked up a 5-bone 11 LBS for $66

Trimming it not only required removing silver skin fat, but also had to cut the bones away, which worked out well as I was able to garlic butter between the ribs & roast

Put it on the SmokeFire at 225

One hour

Two hours

Three hours

Four hours

It was basically 120 at four hourish so we removed the ribs from the roast for the sear to 130

roast

Rested for 10 minutes (maybe)

Red from center to edge

Now the ribs, with 6 of us, the ribs had no chance

I very much enjoyed the smoked roast, I do think I prefer it roto'ed but not a bad way to go at all

Christmas Eve was all about Pizza & Crab (steamed) & shrimp

But first the snacks

Crab & Shrimp

Pizza (Trader Joe's Flat Bread)

Probably a tad late pulling the pizza, but not bad. Glad for the Crab

My neighbors from the UK are always good for a Sherry Log, very tasty, only God knows how many calories

My boy got into the Irish Cream a bit, he kept it down, but wasn't his usual run around like a maniac self

Forgot to mention, I used the Costco (Kirkland) pellets for the roast. at 225 it put out a steady blue stream of smoke, they get the ChuckO seal of approval

Don't forget to throw those 2015 tax returns on the fire this coming Sunday

Your kitty cat looks like he would have liked to try some, but did not get any......

 

[Kevin L (NKY)]

That is a very nicely done rib roast, I would be all over they then I would even try your sides....

 

[DanHoo]

WOW.

 

[BFletcher]
