Unfortunately, the long-running smoked meat thread fell into the archive this winter

so I am starting a new one.

FINALLY, the weather is nice enough to sit outside in a lazy afternoon and enjoy some beer while the meat is slowly transforming into deliciousness.

Today, I am smoking some baby back ribs. Rubbed in Byron’s Butt Rub and Lambert’s Sweet Rub O Mine. When I sauce them, I will use Blues Hog on one, and Tennessee Whiskey Swineapple on the other.

I am using apple wood.

I’m also going to add some chicken wings later. I tried putting some baking powder and salt on them today, which will apparently make the skin crispier (I am not as good at smoking chicken as I am at smoking ribs

)

Pictures of the ribs on my cheap smoker:

So what's your technique for the ribs? Personally, I smoke them at 180 just like you are, until they look like I want the finished product to look, then I wrap them in foil and spritz with apple juice. Then I give them two more hours on the smoker or in the oven at 180. Let them rest an hour and then slice. At that point I brush on sauce if I'm using it, and either finish them fast under the broiler, or put them back on the smoker in a cake pan until the sauce is tacky.

If someone ever says to you, "Can I connect you to Verizon Wireless Roadside Assistance?" They are making a direct threat on your life.

New thread starting out just like the old thread.

Way to go OP…stepping outside of your comfort zone I see!

In all seriousness, you must make some of the best damn baby backs around.

How did the wings turn out? I’ve only been moderately successful with wings. The next time I try them, I’ll likely just give them 20-30 minutes and then crisp them up over the coals in the firebox.

So as not to freeload, I’ll add some pics. Stuffed my little smoker pretty full last time, it all came out good in the end though:

I’m also a fan of a good bark.

Just pork belly with skin removed.. no idea what part. It was randomly in the cooler at the store(WinCo, which is mostly western US) for cheap. I wanted a smaller piece for my first time and didnt feel like spending a lot more just to cut one up.
