Life Drinking Beer and Smoking Ribs... - Page 9

**Gonzo** · 07-19-2009, 02:19 PM

I'm in my backyard on a beautiful day, drinking beer and smoking a few racks of ribs. I think I have just about perfected this art. I use a good dry rub that has ground cayanne, sea salt, minced dry garlic, red pepper and a little onion salt. My baste has some Johnny Red, olive oil, cajun seasoning, balsanic vinagar and fresh garlic. My beer has alcohol, hopps and has been kissed by angels.
My boy is hanging out with me. He turns 1 on Tuesday. My wife is mowing the yard in some skin tight jeans.
Life is good today, that is all.

I may have gone too far.

It's just a step towards world domination.....

Soooo, anyway. I just set the ribs out to settle in some foil. When I picked them up, they split in half. I think all is right with the world. Thank you Reaper for the entertainment.

The meat isn't falling off of the bone, is it?

Nearly. It's holding together well but splitting at the joints. It has a nice pink hue to it. the outside is a dark crimson with a little burn. Perfection.

Good. When they're falling off the bone, then they are almost always overdone. The texture gets compromised.

Enjoy them. I wish I were eating as well as you; I guess I'll settle for drinking better.

Pssshh..too many different kinds of tasty brews in my fridge to even get me started.

Lumière Naturelle - YOU have to try this. Sooooo good. Got about 30 in the fridge.

Since I live out here in Siesta Country, where awesome Mexican food is always a stones throw away, I've taken kind of a shine to Negra Modelo.

It's kind of sweet for a dark beer and it goes great with food or on it's own.

One of my brothers had a beer fridge in his garage (three car, mind you). I told his wife what it costs to run a fridge in a garage for a year and she made him get rid of it.

He still won't speak to me.

I hope my inferior taste in brew doesn't rub off on him.

I use this sauce from a small butcher shop in Omaha called "Just Good Meat"
Bugeater, if you're not familiar with this place it's on 84th across from H&H Chevy. Not too sweet and it has a good kick.

I know exactly the place you're talking about, I grew up about 1/2 mile from there, but I haven't been in that store for years. I'll have to pick some up sometime.

that's what I'm doing today!

Although, I haven't perfected the art of ribs; this is my first shot. I seasoned with a dry rub and coated with brown sugar and covered in foil and put in the oven at 220 for asbout 2 hours; now I'm basting nice and low with some hickory in the smoker box for the gas grill.

.....hopefully they don't suck! I've always wanted to learn how to make good ribs and someday move to a smoker.....baby steps.
