LFTG (Live From The Grill) today only

[bugg4672]

Live From The Grill today only, live as it happens. Smoked 3-2-1 ribs. As I smoke my ribs today I'll load up some photos to keep you guys drooling. Got the fire started, and the ribs resting with the sweet rub on. I'll let them set until 12>00pm then add to the grill for a 3 hours to smoke then remove and wrap in foil for 2 hours then cook unwrapped for 1 hour. I'll give more of the steps as I go.

I'll be using Apple and Cherry wood chips to help flavor the ribs

Alright got the wood ready and added Cherry wood chips for flavor.

Got the ribs on the grill

We all know how important humidity is, I added an iron skillet above the heat with about an inch of Apple Juice the heated Apple juice will help keep the ribs moist.

I'll go and check on the fire and wood chips about every 20-30 minutes. More to come in a few hours.

I just started stage 2 of 3.

Here is what they look like after 3 hours of smoking.

I have a piece of foil with a 1/4 cup of Apple Juice on it along with some Honey and Butter I put about a 1/4 cup of all 3 on it but its up to you what you want to do. Just make sure when you put the ribs on the foil you put them face or meat side down.

Now that I have them both wrapped I'll let them smoke face or meat side down for another 2 hours.

Just unwrapped the ribs for the last part of the smoke, they will cook for 1 hour with the heat that is left, then it will be time to pig out,

How did it turn out in the middle mate?

[bugg4672]

Light pink and juicy, I did add BBQ sauce after I took it off the grill. It was amazing. Total cook time is 6 hours but I went 7 this time, stage 2 was suppose to be 2 hours, I went 3.

That sure is commitment to the meat. Good stuff
