TwoXX Beef Ribs

[Jim Lampe]

Strayed away from the usual way I cook beef ribs...
(marinated in Stubbs Beef Marinade overnight)
Instead, today I followed a recipe from Steven Raichlen's "Ribs, Ribs, outrageous Ribs" CB
called "Lone Star Beef Ribs".
His recipe called for Lone Star beer, which I did not have,
so I used Dos Equis Ambar beer, which I do have

Made the Lone Star rib rub, made the mop sauce, got the two racks of ribs ready,
fired up my Weber "kettle smoker", got some pecan wood for smoke at hand...
the temp settled at 250'F so I put the beef racks on.

...and after one hour, applying mop sauce... still at 250'F

...foil on top of the smoke-plate to catch the dripping mop sauce.
wish I could show you the outcome...
I dropped the camera on the deck and, imagine this, the darn thing stopped working.

Jim, you can't eet em till we see pics!

I can only imagine what they look like finished, as always your beef ribs are truly amazing

 

[Jim Lampe]

HaH!

Guess I'll be shopping tomorrow for a new camera

Jimbo, Jimaroonee, the Jimenator... in my imagination, they look fabulous. Have a great weekend. It's burgers and brats for me. Hehe.

 

[Jim Lampe]

Gawd! ANYTHING butt Jimbo!

Gary, I'll take a burger and a brat for a half rack of BRs

 

[Bob Correll]

Great looking ribs Jim!
Will you do this recipe again?

Sorry to hear about the demise of your camera.
Be sure to give it a proper burial, it captured a ton of good eetin'!

 

[Wolgast]

Sure looks tasty and im sorry to hear about the cam.

 

[JimK]

You'd better get that camera today! I don't think this site will function without our daily dose of Lampe food.

Ribs look great up to the point where you dropped the camera. Though I'm not convinced you dropped the camera. I'm thinking this was a long cook, the Dos X was going down a little too smooth, and you passed out in the hammock; letting your poor ribs burn to a crisp.

Sorry James. Hey, enjoy the week. The weather here in NJ is perfect for the next 10 days (hot and dry, then cooling into the 70's for Labor Day weekend). Hope it's much of the same for you. Be well.

Great looking ribs!!!!

 

[Jim Lampe]

Thanks guys

i'm such a clutz sometimes

I did replace the camera, just got back from OfficeMax, with the same kind.
No installing the soft ware, the charger and battery are indentical...
this new one actually has more pixiesticks

than the older one...
so, here are the LEFTOVERS right from the fridge...

answers to a few questions/statements:
Albert, perhaps it WAS the martini or rhum on the rocks that contributed to the dropping
of the camera

Bob, yes i will do this recipe again. The ribs were OUTSTANDING!
I asked liz if she preferred them over the Stubb's marinade and she said yes!
Stubb's version is quick and ez and tastes GREAT, and this vesion is more involved...
butt, yeah, i WILL makeem again like this.
JimK... you're funnier than i thought!

Pretty good scenario, i like your story better than mine!
Thanks again guys!

great pics and congrats to the new camera Jim.

 

[Don Cash]

Well, Jim. You've done it again. That looks off-the-charts good. No surprise. Everything you pull off the grill looks off-the-charts good.

Glad you got a new camera...don't know what we'd do without your pics on here.

 

[Jeff_B]

Looks great as always Jim!

Well my camera is down and out, but I'm not as quick as you on a new one
