BBQ Smoke out

One for the boys, 3 slabs of ribs, 3 sides of whey fed pork racks, my mom’s BBQ sauce (gravy if you’re from the south) some jalapeno skillet corn bread. Artisan bread from Epi Breads. This was only my third time really smoking ribs and they were pretty good, but I think there’s room for improvement.

Vienna Sausage Corn Dogs

I used to love these canned sausages when I was a kid just a hint of smokiness, dipped in a light corn meal batter and deep fried. Pretty good, but next time I’ll pick up the real deal instead of the canned version.DSCN4986-22-AUG-2009
