I got 2 packages of baby backs yesterday, $2.88/lb, so they're scheduled to be smoked on Wednesday.
I do this a few times each year.
On occassion, I'll throw a whole chicken in with the ribs:
Hand rub applied (Paprika, garlic powder (not salt) and pepper. Minimum 3 hour set time, longer is better)
Hickory chips, soaked in water for 3 hours, 3 burner grill, center burner off, 2 outside burners at low with inverted tents that hold the chips(indirect heat). I put a hand-full of chips in every 15 minutes over a two hour period.
Pot of salt potatoes (sp
) , 30 minutes over direct (low) heat with a slathering of BBQ sauce,
2.5 hrs cooking time, not much work, turns out great:
Wednesday can't get here fast enough:
