Check out post#8. If you are not onto cooking with indirect BBQ heat, you are really missing something.
The long time and the low temp allows for the destruction of all tough connective tissues. You can't rush this.
Sat/Aug/15: salvage-pruned a whole apple tree, broom-stick and bigger, for smoke wood. Some dumb bugger didn't hear that this was an heritage apple tree in the village.
I don't believe he even got his pee-pee slapped. I asked for and got permission to salvage what I could. All goes to BBQ smoke wood.
This afternoon, I mixed up a double batch of dry rub seasoning for the pork side ribs that I will cook tomorrow. Two whole racks of side ribs take more than a cup (2?) to coat.
Beer in the fat dish. BBQ #17 in my career! Thrash 'em, bash 'em and move on.
Why ribs? I can't find the lamb shanks. I have no cornish game hens. We ate the chickens. Bison is altogether too tender to need this.
