    smoking first time ribs

    Here is a great video discussing this exact subject matter. Granted it's from a TV show. 5:00 to 7:00 being the most relevant segment.

    smoking first time ribs

    Just in case you're talking past each other, barbeque is never actually juicy the way a steak is. The only real exception being cut up chicken. But mammal you end up cooking it to hell and back and the wet feel in your mouth is fat. Unless of course you braise them, but that's different.

    smoking First Time Smoking!

    If I'm using chips or sawdust I foil it on coals, too. Chunks of tree work best, though.

    smoking First Time Smoking!

    I've done it both ways with chips (though I honestly prefer blocks of tree) and I prefer to do it Bam's way, wrapped in foil with holes. Ime, you get more consistent good quality smoke. If you can't get tree, try to get sawdust, I like it better than chips. With a power saw, miter or table...

    Hospital visit

    Glad you're good. The upside is that at the airport they have to use the wand and only from the belt down. In case you want to put some nail clippers in your shirt pocket.

    pests What in the holy hell is this. No bugs in site. Affecting all plants

    Yeah, just plain aspirin/ASA/acetylsalicylic acid. It shouldn't take much. Just a couple in a liter. ASA is a hormone to many/most plants that signals to the plant it is being invaded. Maybe put some fly paper out, too? Also, as you try to salvage the plants, I can't emphasize enough...

    Grrr . . . I let some of them get too dry and they're looking very wilted. I watered them. Hopefully they'll perk up over night.

    Some tips for next time. You can set the meat out on the counter in advance to let it start to warm up a bit. It'll cook faster and more evenly. If you do, keep it in the marinade and make sure it doesn't get too warm (for me and mine I put it back in the fridge if doesn't feel cool to the...

    I vote for virus, too. I guess you could try spritzing them with an aspirin solution, since you've got nothing to lose but time. Even if that works when you toss the plants you'll want to bleach all of the tools and pots you used. Don't forget to toss out all of the soil with the plants and...
