Saturday Spares and College Football

[Jim Lampe]

This rack of spares was soo long (23.5") that i cut um in two...

added a balcony for the second half and invited in some Boars Head Knockwurst and a couple rolled strips of Nueskes bacon

...those black specks you see on the sausage and the ribs fell from the inside of the WSM lid.

...butt i simply wiped them away

first time that's happened to me, never really thought about lookin' inside it or to clean it out. I will tomorrow now.
After an hour or so, I took the Knockwurst off...

...and made a small snack.

Hours later, nearing completion of the spares, I got out the Petrone No. 5 Sauce i made a few weeks ago and glazed the ribs both sides.

Removed the ribs from the grill after nearly 5 hours, rested a while, then cut'em up.

then plated them with baked Yukons with salsa and turbindo acorn squash with walnuts.

The ribs were outstanding! Tender and juicy and just the way i like'em... the squash (this season's 1st) is a keeper.
and when was the last time i used the oven to bake a Yukon?

It was goody too!
And as I type this post, I still think back to that wonderful football game i witnessed a few hours ago and sip the last of my Plantation Rhum

Thank you for swingin' by, i hope your saturday was as eventful as my saturday was.
See you all Tuesday night at Wando's

Happy for all Badgers fans.

As for the food, what a nice color the sauce gives your ribs. I'll have to try it one day.

 

[Bob Correll]

Wow Jim!
Your ribs & knocks are knockout looking good, just like WI knocked-out OSU!!

Jo Anne and I really enjoyed the game, too bad our elbows weren't bumping with your's and Liz's for that celebratory rib meal!!

Jim those ribs have the perfect look! Only problem is there on the wrong plate!!!

 

[DaleW]

Yukons in the OVEN!! Still a Lampe-worthy meal--looks great and tasty!

 

[Gary H. NJ]

Those ribs do look perfect Jim. Love the bark! I nearly did ribs myself. I had some home projects to work on, so I just did a whole chicken with some sweet potatoes on the WSM. Sorry no pics, but after a day of work, it did taste good. Thanks for sharing Jim.

 

[Ron G.]

Wow! Outstanding

That sounded like an awesome combo, Jim.

Hard to beat a relaxing Saturday with good food and a great game to watch.

Jim:

First your team beats mine and now your barbeque blows mine away. I am humbled. I would send you my victory cigar, but I fired it up about halfway though the 3rd quarter and jammed it it my eyes.

Great photos of great food.

[Neil Grant]

wow....love the balcony idea...wish I thought of that 5 years ago because I often find my 18.5smoker can't hold all that I want to cook.

now if I could only learn how to smoke a brisket in it !

I do. #4. Auburn Tigers.

I also made spares on Saturday, but I called them Razorback ribs in hopes of Auburn beating Arkansas.

War Eagle!

Nice bark and smoke ring on your ribs Jim, they look great. Nicely done!!

 

[S Mitchell]

Awesome job again Jim! Man, that rum looks good as well. I think I need to step beyond "The Captain" and try some of the good stuff!

 

[Jim Lampe]

Thank you all for the latest responses, truly appreciated!
John from Las Cruces, we did "Razorback" ribs on New Years Day a few years back when our beloved Badgers of Wisconsin punished them in the Capital One Bowl.
It was another fine cold day in Badgerland

Thanks again folks!
