Yummmmmm, ribs are on the smoker!

[Curly Bill]

I just put em on. Hours from now there will be much smoked meat goodness.

One rack baby backs.

One rack spare ribs.

We're talking plenty for today, and leftovers as well.

:D

And I owe it all to the epic thread on smokers on this very site last year. ;)

[stoopified]

What time are we supposed to be their for dinner? Do we need to bring anything other than hunger?

[Curly Bill]

I'm thinkin between 2:30 and 3:30. Bring booze and hookers. :D

[PhiDeltBeers]

You know I like dem ribs!

[Curly Bill]

Yes, ribs are one of the better things in life.

[StoopTroup]

I just ate some bacon.

[Curly Bill]

I like bacon!

[tcrb]

MMmmmmmm. Love me some ribs.....and bacon.

[PhiDeltBeers]

Got any poke chops?

[Curly Bill]

I don't think so. Bring me some.

[Penguin]

Ribs, bacon, booze, and hookers. Sounds like it's going to be one hell of a day.

[Curly Bill]

Well, if the hookers ever show up it will be. ;)

[StoopTroup]

I'm starting to get hungry again

[SanJoaquinSooner]

I'm spreading cauliflower florets in a baking pan and covering them with 2 in. cuts of bacon. Slow roasting until the bacon is crisp.

Why not just leave out the cauliflower and eat bacon...:confused:

[OUthunder]

I'll bring the beer and liquor, see ya at dinner time.

[Spray]

I was just thinking about grilling up some ribeyes tonight. I was also toying with the idea of grilling some cucumber. Never done it, but I like cucumber and I like grills- what could go wrong?

[Curly Bill]

Grilled cucumber? I've grilled a lot of veggies, but cucumber would be a new one. Why not give it a shot though!

[OUthunder]

I'm pretty sure I'm grilling steaks as well, smoking a cigar, enjoying an adult beverage or two, and enjoying this great weather we're having today.

[Curly Bill]

Ironic perhaps that I just started a book last night called:

Steak: One Man's Search for the World's Tastiest Piece of Beef

Dude travels around the world searching for the best steak to be had, while lamenting that the quality of steak has decreased in the past decade or so, cause of how we raise our cattle & stuff.

At least that's what I get from it having just started the thing.

I make the best steak that I've ever had. Do I over season on occasion? Do I under/over cook on occasion? Yes to all the above. But they always are good, usually, they can be cut with a fork and have a flavor to die for.

A good cigar and a few drinks during cooking are imperative.

[Curly Bill]

I've settled on a go-to steak preparation method myself.

A sizzling cast iron skillet and the oven are involved.

Still like to throw one on the grill occasionally too.

I've broiled em on occasion for a few, then cast ironed them. Turned out pretty good.

[Curly Bill]

I go sizzling hot skillet 3 min per side.

350 oven 3 min per side.

Put on plate, tent with foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes.

Works great when I don't feel like grilling.

[Chuck Bao]

You're making me real, real hungry, Curly Bill. I do hope that at some point in the future that you invite me over for one of your meat orgies. I don't know any hookers over there, but I could possibly import some from Thailand.

[SanJoaquinSooner]

Why not just leave out the cauliflower and eat bacon...:confused:

Tryin to avoid the diabetes - less rice, pasta, and potatoes and more cauliflower, cabbage, and carrots as a substitute.


for example, instead of spaghetti and meat sauce, I steam cabbage and carrots and pour the meat sauce over them instead of pasta.

[JohnnyMack]

I literally just got back from Siegi's with ribs and sausage. Gonna smoke tomorrow.

[JohnnyMack]

And aren't you glad you got a smoker?

Sweet, I like those exotic Asian ladies. :D

Hell yeah! :D

I suggest a Padron 1926 maduro.

[Curly Bill]

Man! I sure do cook some good a** ribs!!

[OUthunder]

bastage!

[Spray]

So I went with a 1 inch ribeye, a filet for the guest, and grilled peperes and onions. We decided on a cold cucumber and tomato salad. Very good. Probably grilling pork tomorrow.

Ribs in the smoker in 2 weeks.

What smoker did you roll with Curly?

[Curly Bill]

Weber Smokey Mounain 18.5"

Got it on the recommendation of several peeps on here. I like it a lot.

Bought it off Amazon, which if memory serves me correct is what JohnnyMack did as well.

Ok, that's better. I'm rolling my baby out of the garage this week! Due to the sick amount of snow this year, I've cooked on it twice since Christmas.

[sooneron]

[StoopTroup]

If I don't quit clicking on this thread I'm gonna be in the kitchen looking for the steak I have in there to put bbq sauce on.

[Curly Bill]

I done ate the evidence of my work, but they truly did look a lot like those Boarder posted. Seriously...
