Bank Holiday BBQ

Recommended Posts

I rarely take photos of my BBQs these days but my daughter has just forwarded me these from last Sunday. We were catering for 20 family and friends - outdoors of course.

Ribs going into the smoker and the finished ribs

These were "Meaty Ribs" trimmed as St Louis style so the rib tips were not wasted

My "Dynamic Duo" of kettle BBQs. The Weber 57cm for initial searing and the Weber 67cm with a Vortex for final cooking. A great way to get large amounts of meat all ready at the same time.

My only regret was that I used a commercial Rub and BBQ sauce on the ribs this time (for convenience) instead of my own. I wont be doing that again. Everyone who ate them enjoyed them however those who were used to my ribs said that they did not have the usual depth of flavour. When you find something that works stick with it.

That "oven" is a commercial Cookshack FEC-120 pellet smoker. It is great for simply putting in the meat, pressing the go-stud, carry on with the rest of life, and then come back 5-10 hours later when the meat is done. It produces great smoked meat but it does make you a little lazy.

BTW. The burgers I cooked were wagu burgers from Bookers. I have generally not been impressed with the wagu burgers I have eaten in restaurants over the years or have bought from supermarkets... but these were AMAZING. I would thoroughly recommend them.

Ice, did you buy the Pork Loin with the rind on, I bought it the last time I was in and it was fantastic when cooked, with the crispy rind!

<Newbie Hat=ON> Wow, I would have thought the smoker wouldn't have got hot enough to Crisp up a Pork rind.  Or did you put it in the oven afterwards?

I'm having a stab in the dark here and I would say it's when Smokin cooks a Chinese belly dish??
