We recently lucked out and got a bag of charcoal that contained huge pieces that are well suited for long cooking sessions, so we had to do something that requires a long cooktime. So this past weekend we decided to try something new on the smoker: Ribs!
Here’s the ribs with a rub applied, resting before we put them out:
And nearly at the end of the 5 hour cook, we decided to toss on some sausage for extra meat goodness. We also wanted an excuse to grab a picture of the ribs on the gril. For the record, I lifted the grill just long enough to toss the sausage in. Christina was waiting with the camera and snapped two shots. So we didn’t just stand there with the grill open for the photo-op.
Lastly, though this isn’t a great shot of the ribs, we took them up to where Christina knits for consumption. The two people sitting are the owners (who, incidently, are the people we got our new-to-us dining table and hutch from) and the lady in the distance is a certified Master Knitter who does classes at the shop.
We are probably going to do this again this weekend when a friend comes down, though we haven’t decided if we want to do ribs or something else. Perhaps if we have time we’ll do ribs and something else. That’d be tasty.
