She is up and walking after bypass yesterday. She is progressing well, and may come home Monday.
 
A few days ago, I went to the freezer and discovered we were out of ribs. Off to the market I went and came home with four. Cleaned them up, removed the membranes, and applied the rub. Took them to the Smokey Joe. The first photo shows what they looked like after about 40 minutes.

Smoked them for about 5 hours and took them out. Used cherry and pecan for wood and briquets. This is what they looked like before wrapping in foil and applying some sauce.

The final product. Love them.

Excellent... right up until you put that sauce on 'em.

Like beans in chili, sacrilege!

I'll be right over to help you cover up the evidence before the BBQ authorities get wind of this foul deed.

I could plead guilty - but my beautiful wife did it. :laugh:

I have a chicken marinating for a tandoori chicken on the BBQ.

OK to keep it simple I used Pataks tandoori paste instead of making my own. Hey even store bought yoghurt.

The chicken has been spatchcocked, cuts made for the marinate to penitrate and is marinating for a few hours before hitting the que.
No tandor oven, so the que will have to do.

Texas brisket. I smoked this Prime brisket with a somewhat departure from what is normally done.

1. No trimming of fat but just a few really thick areas. I did trim a few edges where it was mealy.
2. I towel dried the entire surface of the brisket and set in frig over night wrapped in towels.
3. Remove from frig and let it come to room temperature.
4. I used salt and pepper only. Most importantly, I applied the S&P right before placing in smoker. If you apply the salt to early it brings moisture to the surface of the meat and creates a barrier to the smoke.
5. I placed the brisket fat side down with the point toward the fire box. The fat protects the meat from drying out.
6. I smoked it to exactly 160 then wrapped it in butcher paper.
7. I removed the brisket from the butcher paper at 205, placed back in smoker for a few minutes to dry up the bark a little.
8. Placed in small cooler for 2 hours
9. I separated the flat from the point by carving down at an angle between the two muscles.
10. Cut against the grain or at an oblique angle when slicing.
11. Eat, moan, eat, moan....

Best I've ever made.

Spot on. Perfect bark, and looking at the cutting board you can see the moisture is there. I would go into brisket coma.

I think Aaron has gone in a brisket coma. I bet he's in his armchairm stacking the z's right now after a feast of brisket.

I have always preferred meiosis and litotes to hyperbole, so allow me to simply say:

not bad.

The coma was self induced.

I had to stop and wake up because the ribs were ready.
