Spares on the kettle

[Bob Bailey]

A slab of Hormel spares with only hanging pieces trimmed off. Slathered with mustard and a moderate dose of Honey Hog Hot from Meat Church.


Just waiting for the kettle to come up to 250. Royal Oak super-size briquettes and 3 medium chunks of Cherry Wood.

Thanks Andy. Always loved spares. BBs always seemed to lack flavor. Been getting these spares from Winco for under $2/lb. Makes the taste even better

I love that rub. Haven't used it in a while but always met with good feedback for me.

Not a good cook. Lots of nasty smoke that lasted for more than 2 hours. These briquettes would probably be OK if you lit them in a chimney, but I wouldn't advise using them for a snake, Minion or other method of that type. By the time I dared to put the ribs on, there were so many lit coals that I had a hard time controlling the temperature. Finally got them done long after supper time. Had to add more charcoal so,
even though I hadn't plan on wrapping, ended up doing so, with some butter, honey and more rub. Amazingly, the rack turned out well. Will definitely be using this rub again, but not this charcoal.

Sorry, no pics.

Glad the ribs turned out. I had that charcoal, was not impressed.
Just OK for burgers, dogs.

 

[Bob Bailey]

Yea. Will save the rest of the bag for something like that where I'm lighting it in a chimney.

Lowes was practically giving it away last year. I bought a bunch, and could barely give it away for free LOL.

Got it at Walmart. Just under $9 for a 16# bag. Whatever the price, it's garbage. Surprised, 'cause I like RO lump.
