Reeb Question

[nascarchuck]

Yes sir... The tray was clean.

EDIT: The tray for the grill side has a little ash in it, but the smoker tray was clean.

Here are a couple of pics almost 3 hours in the smoker.




Update @ 4:05 PM
Just foiled the reebs. Never foiled them before so I'm anxious to see how that affects them.

Here are the coals. The tray is filling up with ash. Is there a way to clean it out in the middle of a cook? I wanted to do a mod before my next smoke, but forgot.


Update @ 5:55 PM
I figure this is close enough to two hours foiled. Man, lots of juice in the foil and the small bones are falling out. I am doing 30 minutes and gonna check on them.


Update @ 8:30 PM
Here is the final product. Came off the smoker at about 7PM. Meat fell off of the bone and had pretty good flavor. Wife and son liked it too. Here are the reebs, tater salad, Bush's baked beans and rolls. Forgot to put 2 deviled eggs on the plate for the pic.

Ya know... I never have been much on reebs, but have developed a liking for them in the past year or so.

But, I am still trying to get past that idea in my head that there isn't much meat on them. I cooked 2 racks that were around 4.5 lbs each and we didn't even eat one rack.

Wife did mention that we need to start stocking up when they go on sale, but I have to remember to smoke just one rack at a time if it's just use eating.

Dinner looked great. Job well done. But you forgot to let everyone know what time dinner was. You wouldn't have had all those leftovers to deal with.

[nascarchuck]

Geez... next time I make that much, everyone is invited!

[copkid]

Good job Chuck! Did you make the tater salad too? It looked great with the paprika. I'm like you, I always make too many ribs, but they make great leftovers! I love 'em cold the next morning! Good eats!

Great job, Chuck! A couple deviled eggs woulda made the meal, though.

I hear ya about developing a liking for ribs recently. I never was a rib fan until I started cooking my own.

But, I am still trying to get past that idea in my head that there isn't much meat on them. I cooked 2 racks that were around 4.5 lbs each and we didn't even eat one rack.

That's me. I can only think of 1 cook I did with less than 4 racks, and we always have more than half left over. They warm up good, though.

I was the same way Chuck 'til I started smokin Spares only. You get the most meat from them and they are always good. That plate looks great!

What did you think about foilin? Will you do it again or smoke 'em without foilin??

I think that foiling them was a purtty good idee. Seemed more moist, more tender.
