bosco Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 Last night I had some friends over and did some ribs and wings for them. I used the 23" KK for the ribs and the 32" KK for the wings. I loaded the 23" and had it settle at 225 degrees and added some peach wood for smoking of course. Added my rub and let them go for just over 5 hours. The pictures are not the best as I had been consuming... and it was really dark. The flash helped but hurt the image quality a bit. I tried Eat BBQ Zero to Hero and it turned out really good. The rub turned out a beautiful red colour on the meat!! It was sweet with a bit of spice. Anyways... I added 8 lbs of wings to the 32 at 350 degrees. This was the first time that I cooked wings without a deflector stone in. They turned out really good, however, I prefer 375 with stone in for my wings. For the wings I mixed plowboys bovine bold and yardbird on half, and then ground pork rinds to the other half. Once cooked I sauced the pork rind ones with franks wing sauce.... they were quite delicious!! The ribs were tender, pull of the bone clean. Very pleased with the rib texture, smoke ring and bark on this batch. My company seemed to love it all and now it is early in the morning.... and I am regretting that last beverage!
MacKenzie Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 Tasty looking cook, Bosco. A great way to fill up those grills. It's always that last one that causes the problems.

ckreef Posted December 22, 2015 Report Posted December 22, 2015 I've worked my last day of 2015 Me too sort of. Unfortunately I have one more day. The Monday after Christmas. Only because the other supervisor has a doctors appointment and one of us has to work. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT

wilburpan Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 That shot of your eight pounds of wings was impressive. As was how your ribs turned out! One thing to keep in mind for your next wing cook: if you plan on cooking indirect (that’s what I prefer as well), you need to make sure the wings on the outside are over your deflector, and not too close to the walls of the grill. Otherwise you’ll have a perimeter of overcooked wings. DAMHIKT.
ckreef Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 Bosco I thought you cooked pork ribs, looks like chicken ribs to me - LOL Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
