  1. sharing

    It's worked when I had a pallet delivered to my house, and everyone came and picked up his/her share. I threw a big tarp over it until they got there. :) Don't have to have everyone go to the terminal, although the trucking cost would be less, I guess. I got to meet fellow cookers.

    :)

    I AM IN THE CHARCOAL BUSINESS...

    ...Ok, cat's out of the hat!

    YAY!! :smt041:smt038

    How groovy is that? (Ok, so I took Mom to a Smothers Brothers perfornance last night, and I'm in a 60s frame of mind.) Where's your port of distribution, Dennis? I guess what I'm askin is how do I calculate shipping and delivery. Wheeee!

    Wonderful to have quality lump available soon.

    I do like the other manufacturer's extruded (mine did not arrive wet or furry), but as others have observed, it's hard to get. I keep feeling like I have to ration what I have.

  3. Speaking of charcoal' date=' Sanny. I see you have your fingers crossed on getting some mold-free extruded coco from RJ. Good idea to get your order in now for the 2009 season :twisted:[/quote']S'ok, Firemonkey. I'm not in a rush - I have about 15 boxes in the shed, still, from my last order. But given the customs difficulty he's been having, I figured I'd order now to be in line for when the ship comes in. :)

    Maybe Dennis will find a smoother source for us. ::nudge nudge::

  4. respect, indeed

    Steve, I'm a happy owner of a Kamado cooker #5. They just adopted me over here. :) So far, no problems with mine. And I've had positive experience with the company there in Mexico.

    I, too, respect the improvements Dennis has made. And he's fun. :)

    Glad you enjoy ceramic cooking, and are spreading the word. :*

  5. Re: Lump Charcoal Briquets

    I was just in Home Depot today and saw some lump charcoal briquets...
    The Despot has been carrying Kingsford, and Kingsford has come out with something lumpy. Maybe that was it. From what I read, the Kingsford lump sparks like a short circuit.

    Oh, speaking of sparks...

    Don't wear your polar fleece snuggly sweater when you Q in the wintertime. :(

  6. Rib boneless pieces

    I chopped up some of the smokey pieces of boneless rib parts, and made black beans and rice last night. Very tasty. :) Garlic, can of black beans, medium grain rice, squirt of tomato paste, cumin, ancho chile, salt, olive oil. Yummy.

  7. True Confessions

    Well, Porky, I do have a confession...

    I shared the ribs, but kept all the boneless flappy bits for myself. Had them on the cooker low and slow until they were tender and smokey, and then tucked them aside to fix with rice and beans.

    Just saving the rest of them from the trimmings, you understand. I mean, surely they PREFER ribs, right? Those little leftover, unwanted pieces for me.... Like gramma always kept that piece of roast from by the bone, so everyone else could have the pretty pieces. She didn't TELL that the part she kept was the most tender and delicious...

  8. Good question though (since he's a Gen2) who were momma and poppa?

    One of them must have been a supreme ?

    Oooh, you think maybe Diana Ross herself? Or maybe one of the backup ladies... No wonder it's so pretty. Good gene pool.
  9. Re: My turn for ribs!

    Where did you get the rib rack' date=' I got a weber one but it definitely looks smaller.[/quote']It's a Steve Raichlen (sp) rack. I got mine at a store called Bed Bath and Beyond (I call it Bed Bath and Cash Register, cause it's easy to spend a fortune there). Price on line was less than in store, so I took the on line price and waved it in front of the cashier, and she accepted it. :) Might have been $20 US. I think it's also on Amazon. Nice size. Holds 4 racks, and fits on my ceramic (which is slightly smaller than the KK).

    Could be Ozzie butchers trim the ribs as many say I should have. But hey, live and learn. :)

  10. ok' date=' first off, YOU GAVE AWAY 3 RACKS????? you need to work HERE!![/quote']:) Yup, I kept one rack, and the trimmed parts (the floppy parts without bones), but the rest I gave to the mail room guys. They gave me kisses on the cheek! :smt058

    Our office (Legal Affairs at the state's Dept of Envt Protection) has them running all over. I'm sure they're underappreciated by so many, but they sure help us. :smt045 I like bringing them baked goods now and then. Besides, what was one person gonna do with 4 racks of ribs all by herself? Nuthin to do but share.

  11. Re: My turn for ribs!

    Looking good! What time is supper?
    I'll leave the light on for ya, Deej. :)

    Ok, a couple strong points, and a couple of weak ones.

    Strong? Temp maintained 200-250 the entire cook. YAY!! That's progress!

    Weak? I forgot to add the blinkin SALT to JJ's Rub recipe. Hrumph. So, I gave them a sprinkle of salt when they went into the "live here until I take you in to work tomorrow" container. Hope that takes care of that.

    Nuther weak point is the narrower rib parts cooked way faster than the fat sections. So, of course, they are less moist. Shoulda considered that more carefully, and taken them off earlier. But, I didn't.

    I guess I need a sauce recipe to address future "lack of moisture" situations.

    But, here are the pics of the back ribs. Spares are still on the grill, since they went in a bit later.
