Snowy Ribs

[Chris Mills]

Didn't matter what the weather was like today I was going to eat ribs. Snowed yesterday and its cold & windy today but that doesn't matter.

Smoker ready to go.

There are 4 of these racks. Big meaty ribs w/ total weight ~17lbs.

Chugging away.

Not so much dedication as the way of Northern 'Que. Unless you want to go 4 months without any you just have to deal with the elements. Now when I have to shovel a path to the smoker is when the dedication kicks in.

Really need to build some sort of small windscreen although I saw someone on these boards using a welding blanket which would really fit the bill.

Snow def. got in my way this weekend. Had grand ideas of throwing on some ribs, but got sidetracked by the snow & ended up doing some maintenance on the smoker instead. Not nearly as much enjoyment.

Beans before 3 hours on the smoker.

Beans after 3 hours on the smoker.

Ribs are ready after 7 hours.

Mmmmm...ribs.

Now we know what we all want for Christmas Chris, but you are too darned far away. That is a great looking smoke. Reminded me though of those 40 years I spent in Alaska. You didn't dare let a little snow slow you down or you would never get anything cooked on the smoker. There were many days we just opened the garage door and let the smoke pour in and pour out but we got er done. Bob B. Great job.

Now THAT is bbq. Props on a cook well done.

In the winter, when the air is cold and slow, perfuming the community with hickory and pork is is a public service. That it causes neighbor envy is merely a side benefit.

 

[Jim Lampe]

WoW Chris! Excellent cook!! VeryVERYnice!!!

 

[Patrick Sullivan]

Could you be so kind as to publish your baked beans recipe? That looks excellent.

 

[Paul Kastner]

I know that I am a little hungry right now and your ribs did not help. Man those look great!!

 

[Chuck Dugas]

Nice job Chris. I like that cast iron pot also.

 

[Alexander]

Chris, They look awesome. You had them in there 7 hrs?? What temp? when did you cover them with foil?
My family loves ribs and I am going to dare to make them in the new WSM 18 that I got a week ago. I am a newbie and need some guidance! Also what thermometer are you using? I only rely on the stock lid.
Great site! I will learn much from you all. THanks

It's a Lodge dutch oven that I've had for quite a while. Gets used for everything from pot roast to beans on the smoker.
