Gotta love summer. Prepped FOUR racks last night, removed the membrane, trimmed the rib tips off, dry rubbed them, and let them marinade in all that goodness last night. I did 4 different rubs, all dry: A Memphis dry rub, A pork rub from Galena, a Smokey D's rub (great rib place around here that's won many awards), and a simple pepper/Lawry's rub. One of them I put thai chiles on for some major kick. Im the MAN

Party later on at 3 pm, folks coming in. I am starting the smoker at 10 am. Will cook at 175 degree temp. Debating on whether to use hickory or mesquite or other wood chips. Hmmmm suggestions? Oh, also, using a combo of briquette and lump charcoal.

Yesterday morning was car detailing. Today, it's SMOKING MEAT!!! (In Tim Allen's voice... GRrrrrrrrrrrrr)

GOD I LOVE SUMMER.

Here's some pics (OF COURSE I'd have pics. You guys KNOW I love pics... lol.) I will update with more pics later on today, as I am cooking :) hehehehehe. Should I do HDR photos??? HAHAHAHA

Looks like a delicious barbeque is on tap...:props:

I think that will taste great off the grill along with a few ice cold ones....:props:
 
Threads with pics of food normaly never look appealling to me, but those ribs look D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S

I love SUMMER too :hungry:

oh yes indeed. Another couple is bringing the beer. We are providing the main meats, and some root beer. Which reminds me, I should get the cooler ready. Thanks for reminder.

Wait till you see them COOKING on the grill. Pics later. Lowwwww and Slowwwwwwwwwww

Perhaps they'd look more appealing to you in HDR? harharhahar :)
 
I like a vinegar wet rub ... but man those look delicious !!
 
That looks awesome, love BBQ, its my favorite! I'm sure you guys have seen the show "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" and well, I've actually been to several places on the show, but this particular place that was on the 1st season is my favorite place to eat, if your ever in Chicago or within a decent drive, well, you've gotta stop in here:

For the record, I've been there 34 times and I've been going there since January 2008 (moved to Chicago in Dec of 2009) This place seats 42 people inside and about a dozen outside and yeah, its a small place, we actually passed it the first time we went there. The address is 3800 N. Pulaski, easy off of the freeway and easy back on, no problem. The smell in there, OMG!

Plus, Guy is a car guy!
 
It is ALMOST time to start UNholy fire to the bbq gods.... getting it all ready. Need to soak the wood chips here in water so they will smolder nice and even.....

Charcoal briquettes and lump, are doused with fluid, and soaking for 10 minutes. After that, as Rafiki from Lion King says... "It is TIME...."

drill a hole in the watermelon, add a bottle of this or that, and refrigerate. Now thats a bbq and cocktail all-in-one !
 
Hickory would probably be the best choice in woods, unless you have some apple wood. Mesquite is too intense a flavor for ribs. Great for burgers though.

And enough meat for 8 people! Ha. Hardly enough for 4. And if they are from below the Mason-Dixon, it's only enough for two.

Wow! that BBQ joint looks great.
 
Just before taking the ribs off the grill............put a thin coat of Wolfgang 3.0 sealant on them and then using a clean mf rag spray some XMT 360 Spray wax on them and Windows - Architecture Photos - AfterGlow Photoblog with the rag. Your ribs will be the tastiest and shiniest in the neighborhood ! :hungry: For chicken try some Chemical Guys Black light followed by using the V7 Sealant........
 
Smoque has all the great BBQ Mecca's covered, from NC, Memphis and Texas, its BBQ heaven and doesn't just look good on the video either, the most fussy fan of BBQ will be happy here!

I like the addition of car care products on the food too, LOL!
 
Cooked rib pictures PLEASE :hungry::drool:
 
You should get a charcoal chimney starter. It's as important as a grit guard!

If y'all are interested, bass pro has their master build smokers on sale right now for 159. I picked up one about a year ago and b/c of it's ease to use, we're smoking all the time at the house. Not to mention they're big enough to cook enough food for a party of people. Check em out....
 
Wow looks good. I so want to get into smoking stuff. I'm a huge fan of Good Eats and many times Alton Brown the host has built smokers with a random enclosure (box, clay pots, etc.), an electric hot plate (or 2), and a pie plate full of wood chips/chunks. Sadly all I have right now is a gas grill, but I did learn from him also how to use that as well. Basically one burner only, and the tank valve cranked down to get a 225 degree air temp. Still, I really want to get a better setup.
 
Kinda off topic...

Neighbor has a small smoker, damn fool smokes 12 months out of 12! 20 below, a gazillion feet of snow on the ground, and there's Gene 'polluting' the air with that beautiful aroma of hickory...He DOES share!
