First Smoke on the 3.5D Ribs
« on: March 29, 2018, 05:02:44 PM »
Baby Back Ribs   3 March 2018

2 Racks
Meatheads Memphis Dust 1 hour before going into the Smoker.
Smoked at 235 F on 2nd shelf from the top with a pot of beans under them on 3rd shelf from the bottom.
2 oz hickory and 1 oz cherry. Might need a bit more wood next time? Maybe 4 oz’s total.
½ loaf pan almost full of water next to smoke box less than ½ full at the end. Might need a larger container for longer smokes!
Opened door to stir bean at 2 hours in and 4 hours in.
Checked ribs for doneness at 5 hours.
Done and pulled at 5 ½ hours.

Might have been a bit over done a bit dry but not bad. Not fall off the bone but a nice bite through and pull off the bone. Needed more rub. Might consider a light coat of BBQ sauce the last 1 hour to last ½ hour.

BBQ Beans

Beans standard recipe halved but used dry beans. Also added 1 cup of water to sauce.
Soaked beans for 18 hours with one spoon of chicken flavoring, still semi hard.
Rinsed and cooked for 3 hours with one spoon of chicken flavoring in the crock-pot on high, still semi hard.
Into the smoker for 5 ½ hours uncovered under the ribs still a bit crunchy. Sauce cooked down to a thick consistency. Good thing I added extra water.
Will need to boil then simmer the beans instead of the crock-pot.

Sometimes when I test for doness I actually take a rib if I don’t trust the toothpick.

Glendale, AZ 8 months of the year and then 4 months where ever the fish are biting best, usually along the Columbia River in Oregon.
I eat, therefore I hunt and fish! Hopefully I will learn to smoke some of it!
