Tim M's BBQ cooking area

Visit again - we cook often

This is a story in progress. At 2:30 pm today [3-3-99] I started my ribs. Watch my progress as it happens -- almost live!!

Get the grill ready. No stones, no drip pans.

 

Yes - started to rain - but stopped after an hour

 

Cooking at 225 deg

 

On goes the spare ribs. Thats JJ's rub - I should have used more. I'll go now and add more.

 

I added more rub.

 

After 45 min - flip it over

 

 

The smell is great- trust me!!!

 

I flipped the ribs and added 2 sweet potatoes. This is an experiment -- we'll see how they turn out - tonight!

 

see you in 45 min

 

A real boomer of a thunderstorm rolled through - whewwww.Bang - boom - more rain. Still cooking at 225 deg dome temp

 

 

 

After I flipped them over. They have been in at 225 deg for 2 hrs.

 

 

Here is something I tried. Being not much of a beer drinker - I love micro brews - I always have an old beer in the fridge. The ribs get a bit dry so I slop on a little beer - meaty side when they are up.

You really don't need to do this but it gives me something to do. Didn't seem to hurt though.

Flip them again

 

Ohhhh boy.

I added a pat of butter to each potato and wraped it in foil. No smoke flavor at all that way.

 

They smell great.

225 deg

 

3 hrs cooking at 210-225 deg

 

 

Adding a Strut'in sauce glaze on the meaty side. This is a personal preference - last 30 min only and I will crank it up to 250 dome temp.

It's raining good now - ribs look great. 30 min to eat.

Sorry about this picture - its pouring rain.

 

Now, is that wonderful looking or what?

 

The sweet Potatoes were perfect!! I scrubbed them and added one pat of butter and folded them in tin foil. They didn't have a trace of smoke. Should work for corn too.

BTW, I use the scissors to cut my ribs apart - just my way of doing it.
