The way we set up our grill for cooking is described here:

Chilly Weather Cooking

 

Above: Getting started. Three hour smoking is complete.

This is the basic method for today:

We add apple wood chunks on top of the charcoal when we start.

We do not add any spices or rubs. Not at all against that, but to me, six hours of cooking nullifies the flavor of anything above and beyond the apple wood smoke.

I am not using any temp gauge.

Time to wrap in foil:



Foil time is complete:

Time for the final hour unwrapped:

All done:


Along for the afternoon: KOZT

Again – Lessons Learned

I like this method and I will go with it again. Our ribs stayed on too long.

Fall off the bone is what some people like, but at 6:03 in the video above, he shows his finished product and reveals a better result, which is what I will try for next time.

Whidbey Dog House

Those who visited us on Whidbey remember that my ribs never seemed to be done on time. We are past that now. We just need to adjust so that they are not overdone.

Serving suggestion:

Neighborhood spirit:


Warm weather safety:

Stay hydrated at all times.
