PIC HEAVY, consider yourself warned
On Wednesday my wife and I welcomed this little princess into the world...
Today was our first day home without our two year old (he was at preschool) so I decided to fire up the WSM for a celebratory cook. Started off with 3 meaty slabs of loin backs.
I'm still experimenting with my rub and how much I need to apply. Last cook I put too much on, so this time I put on quite a bit less....
Here is the obligatory photo of my WSM smoking away
After I got the ribs on I started work on the beans.... Here are some thick cut bacon, onions, green peppers, and jalapenos that I'm going to add to use to doctor up some original Bush's beans
Here are the beans before going onto the WSM
Here we are two hours in just before foiling
Here we are nearing the end of the cook
Here are the finished ribs
And here are some future meals
This was my first time cooking beans and sweet potatoes on the WSM. The beans turned out AWESOME, I will definitely be doing them again with another jalapeno or two to up the heat a bit. The sweet potatoes were also delicious but they could have been cooked a little longer. They weren't hard by any means but they weren't as soft as I'd of liked for them to be. My wife bought the potatoes, for some reason she bought fat round potatoes instead of long thinner potatoes which would have cooked quicker. The ribs were good, not great. I think I went to conservative with the rub this time, I need to find a happy medium I reckon. They were also just a bit undercooked, even though they were on for nearly 5 hours at 250.
