Baby Back Ribs, Potatoes, Corn on the Cob & Beans

[gregbooras]

Here was my 4th of July smoke!

Ingredients:
1 Berkshire Baby Back Rib (about 1.66 lbs.)
Yellow Mustard (coat both sides of the ribs)
BBQ Seasoning (coat both sides of the ribs)
2 Large potatoes (poke holes, rub with oil and then season with sea salt, pepper and dry roasted garlic)
2 ears corn cob (put in the last 2.5 hours) soak corn in a zip lock back filled with water for 1 hour.
1 28oz can Bush’s Homestyle beans in half loaf pan

For wood use 3 oz. Kiawe Wood or Pecan , place half loaf pan ¾ full with water.
Remove membrane, then place the ribs on the top racks, potatoes at the back along with the beans. Set smoker to 235 degrees and leave alone for five hours (*note put corn in at 3 hours). 

After five hours check to see if ribs are tender with a toothpick, if they are tender remove and mop with BBQ sauce and put back in for 30 minutes.

Do you smoke the corn in the husk, or already shucked?

Do you smoke the corn in the husk, or already shucked?

You just trim the excess stalk to make the corn uniform, but do not remove the silk or the husk. I then place it in a zip lock bag filled with water. Remove and place in smoker. Place the corn in the smoker and smoke for at least 2 hours, this smoke I did 2.5 hours and it was better.

This next part I learned from Pork Belly (Brian). Remove corn from smoker and place on a cutting board. Slice off the bottom end, making sure that your cut is high enough that you remove a kernel or two. The ear of corn will then slide out of the husk fully cooked without the silk.

Easy and tastes great!

Thanks Greg.  I have done it that way on he kettle before, but had never thought about it in the smoker.

I never think about adding sides to my meat in the smoker. Thanks for the inspiration!

I figure that as long as I am going to smoke, might as well add a goodies!
