Sam Walton's Beef Ribs and Salt Potatoes


 

Bob Correll

R.I.P. 3/31/2022
First, sorry if the pics are slow to load. Shot them with my 'new to me' dslr, and need to learn how to reduce the size. It came with a 200+ page manual

Still in my quest for decent beef ribs, I found these at Walmart. Vac packed and $1.98 lb. Not real meaty, like Mr Lampe gets, but not too bad.

Rubbed and ready for the 3 hr cook @ mid 200's temp on the kettle, with pecan wood:

Also made salt spuds, just new potatoes cooked in water totally saturated with as much salt as the water will hold, cooked until tender and drained, a salt crust forms when dry:

Before serving I smashed 'em a bit with a fork then drizzled butter w/green onions over them:

Also did a half chicken. I cut a few slits 1/2" deep into the breast, and legs. Marinated in 1/4 cup cider vinegar, 1 TBS minced garlic, and 3 TBS bbq sauce for 1 hr.
About ready to pull:

I was much more happy with the cook than with my pics. May go back to the old Kodak for food shots till I get all them buttons etc figured out.
The salt spuds were great, not too salty.
Hit the ribs lightly with bbq sauce, and they were pretty tender, and very tasty. Chicken was very good also.
Local corn now too!!
Thanks for puttin' up with my ramblin's!
 
Those potatoes looks reall good,i have to try this one out.

And with the company of fresh local corn and ribs SWEET

Bless
 
Nice!

Pics look pretty decent to me. What kind of camera did you get? I'm itching to get a DSLR and have my eye on a Nikon D5000.
 
Thanks to all!

JimK,
My film slr's were/are Pentax, so I have lenses that still fit the Pentax dslr cameras.
I found a lightly used K10D on eBay for less than half the original price of when it came out in '07.
Hope I didn't bite off more than I can chew, it makes film slr's seem simple by comparison, IMO.
 
Looks great Bob!! I have a rack in the freezer I purchased at Wally World too and have been holding off cooking them for the first time. I think your cook has given me the confidence I needed!

Looks great Bob!
I have had the beef ribs from Wallyworld and they tasted pretty darn good.

The pictures look fine from here.
