food Memorial Day (Two-Week) User-land BBQ Contest

Ribs are trimmed and off to smoker, two ways. Ribs on left are commercial rub and ones on right are my personal blend.

I love the 'backing onto forest backyards' you all seem to have in your shots.  If only my line of work allowed for regional living….


Me too.

We have sandy yards w/ St, Augustine crawling on-top, no seasons for the most part, and palm trees and palmetto bushes for primary coverage ...

Bah!
 
I am really going to enjoy this thread.  Good work GM.  I will try to bbq something sometime this week, today I have work.  I'll have to figure out when I can fit it in.  I have lots to choose from in the freezer.  Ribs, whole chicken, pork butt, beef roast, sausage, just have to make a decision and find the time.  This is going to be my last week before I start the new job and I have two appointments with them to finish up a bunch of paperwork and such.  In the meantime, I will be watching and drooling.
 
     I just found out about this contest like an hour ago (thanks, JHP!). I figure I better throw my hat in the ring before I do something dumb like read the rules or something. I have lots of meat and beer and whiskey. That's all I need.
     Pardon the double pic posts. I want to make this all as official as I can.
 
Too much meat.

     I decided (last night) on using a Memphis dust rub (recipe from Amazing Ribs) for the butt. I may try something else on the ribs. I dry brined the butt last night and left it on the counter to come up to room temp. 
     
 
Started the fire around 6 this morning and got things rockin'

And now all is right in the world.

     Today's smoke will be hickory and we will be serving Boulevard Single-Wide and Ale Asylum Velveteen Habit for your beveraging pleasure. Jim Beam Black will be provided QRN.
 
Ok, I am getting close to deciding.  Ribs have been pulled from the freezer.  I am leaning toward tomorrow.  I will stop by the store after work and see if anything jumps out of the case at me to go with them or if I need to thaw something else out.  These prizes sound crazy good.  Gonna be great for whoever wins.  I got my money on JHP and Booma.  I'm just a hack with a little barrel smoker.
