Smoking Tri tip this weekend.
Colorado School of the Mines Football game at noon and Tri tip at 6.
Heaven in the foothills.
Go Ore Diggers and OUR KC CHIEFS.
Best time of the year.

Whatever they're serving at Pancho's Backyard, or the No Name Bar, or the Timon Cocteleria Bar, or El Muellecito Cantina, or Rolandi's in Cozumel, we just haven't decided yet. :D

Same old great stuff. I'm going to smoke some ribs and a couple points. Ribs and Burnt Ends!

Just made a batch of rub for the ribs and it's time to thaw them out. Lot's of raw sugar, brown sugar and white sugar. Sugar Sugar!

What wood do you typically run on ribs?

I use wild cherry mostly along with some hickory. This time around I'm going to
use some pecan instead of the hickory.

I just buy the stuff at the store but I'm pretty pecan heavy with most meats. Use cherry or apple as well, mostly cherry. Good to know, thanks.

Pecan just works so well with everything I always have a bag or two of it onhand.

I buy B&B Cooking Logs. You can get them at Ace Hardware or Academy Sports. They even have post oak it you're wanting to smoke a Texas style brisket.

The sauce is made!

Got A Smoker Full
 

I ordered two brisket points from the butcher And instead of separating the point from the flat they just cut the brisket in half and gave me the half with the point. I had to separate them myself so I ended up with two points and then two small flats. And then of course I threw on some ribs because if I'm going have that smoker cranked up and burn all that fuel I might as well make the most of it. Burnt Ends and Ribs! And some slices too!

Burnt Ends are finishing up but the ribs and flats are done.

Good job!

I didn't have no big cuts of meat so the brisket cooked fairly fast but in the end it was still a 10 hour cook. This old man is tired and stuffed with Q.

Sure looks darn good though.
