Maybe we should do a southern version next year? Clemmons is a lot closer to Charlotte than Wisconsin.

Looks like the plans are shaping up Jim. I'll do a simple rack of ribs to share with SWMBO. You better have a half hog for your crowd! LOL. Have a blast with it my friend!

That's sure to be an awesome time. Wish I could make it. A great opportunity for fellowship and maybe pick up a couple of tips from the Rib Master.

At the speed you work, you don't need any help Jim.
Happy Smoke Day brother!

[Phil Perrin]

Dang brother! Them's some mad knife skills!

 

[Timothy Hoffman]

I'd prep ribs all day long for Spotted Cow!

I was waiting to see fingers flying and blood spurting, but that's my kitchen.

Is the Wall Street Journal going to be there again this year, Jim?

That's why he's The Rib Master.

With the speed of light goes Mr. Lampe! Good times have started at the Lampe residence!

My wife, son & I really enjoyed our afternoon at the Taj Mahal of barbecue in Raymond, Wisconsin. Jim and his wife Liz welcomed us to what was mostly a family gathering and we felt right at home.

Great food was served. I'm usually kind of fussy with what I eat, but I enjoyed all the side dishes that were served. Jim's St. Louis ribs were perfectly cooked, with some tasty rubs and sauce on the side. He smoked some locally made Kielbasa that was also outstanding.

I never knew how close we were, 23 miles as the crow flies according to me GPS. We are already talking about doing Smoke Day XII at my place.

Thanks everyone! and Thank you to Jim, Bobbi and Martin for joining us Saturday, we had a Blast and hope you did also!
Here are a few photos...

Friday night I cleaned and trimmed the ribs then seasoned them...

Saturday morning set-up the "kitchen"

The 22" WSM was housing to 7 racks, the Black 26" OTG held two and the newly purchased Black '79 "A" kettle smoked the last one.
The red kettle was reserved for fresh kielbasa and the DoubleD Burgundy will roast a kettle of whole sweet potatoes

Saturday turned out BEAUTIFUL and just enough breeze to cook comfortably in the sun...

once all the ribs were in the smokers, it was time to do other things to get ready for the guests...
like, pick out the "right" t-shirt. I opted for this ▼ one:

 

[Jim Lampe]

around the 3 O'clock hour, folks started comin' around...

by 3:30, most everyone was here...

bowling buddy and good friend Bob was on hand to help cut up and serve the smoked kielbasa..

...while I was checking on the ribs...

time to cut'em up

 

[Jim Lampe]

after dinner, Liz' youngest brother Dave and his son Saul entertained us with live music

I hoped everyone have a good time and ate some decent barbecue...
Think this was another successful Smoke Day celebration... with many more to follow.
Sunday, everyone was gone and the yard was empty.

Thank you everyone for stopping by!

Don't know how you do all that without pulling the hair out of your chin.
Don't know how you up manage to Up the game year after year.

Jim, that was one fantastic looking good time, with great eats!
I bow to you my friend!
