2 ribs........
had a day of sunshine in a week of rain so i figured i better do 2 racks 2 ways.........one bbq and the other achiote.
the one in the back is my own rub and the front one has achiote paste....


a bed of ono lump and oak with pecan chunks......


after 2 1/2 hrs and ready to foil for 30 min.


after a quick char on the SFB and served with rice and beans......

Looks good but what was your verdict on the one rubbed down with achiote paste?

 

[Dutch]

Looks good, chefrob. Good thing my granddot's not seeing this cuz she'd be wanting that cow plate!

 

[richoso1]

He took the words out of my mouth. Also, did you use anything else on that rack?

 

[jak757]

Those are some tasty looking ribs!

I always enjoy checking out your posts. You do some good Q...for a Stillers fan! Or is it just the "dawg" that's the fan?

Sorry, couldn't resist!

Very nice Qview!!

i personaly liked the achiote.....just went well with what was served. i did the bqq cuz i just made a new batch of sauce. i will say that the achiote will stand up to a stronger smoke while a simple rub will alow the smoke to penetrate the meat. that being said, i would have prefered the rubbed one to be done with apple or given just a little less smoke.

LOL! my girlfriend is nutz about cows so i bought her a set..........wasn't cheep!

 

[chefrob]

rich, the rubbed rack got a little water spritz and bbq sauce while firming them up in the SFB. the achiote just gets the paste that i make.

Well Chef another great looking and sounds like great tasting smoke. Points for the inventivness

Very nice there chef I like the achiote. Would you share the recipe for that sauce I would like to give it a try to. We really like those achiotes here. So for the orginal use of a new product

for making them look so good too.

mark, here it is on a bird
http://smokingmeatforums.com/forums/...ote#post422324

basicly in a blender puree:
1 block of paste
1 onion (smoked prefred but not necesary)
3-4 cloves garlic " " " "
1/4 c. olive oil
2-3 limes juiced
1 bunch cilantro
salt and pepper to taste
use enough water to facilitate blending until a thick but pourable mixture is formed and marinate for 1 hour...... use on chix, pork, or shrimp.

sir, that is no "dawg" as you put it. i'll have you know that there is a very refined english bull terrier......hense the good taste in the best football team ever!

 

[jak757]

I must say, it is a fine looking English bull terrier. No disrespect meant by the "dawg" comment....just a reference to my teams unofficial title for us fans. As far as the "best football team ever"....well I have to admit that's a hard one to argue. With all the big rings they have earned. You know here in NE Ohio we love the rivalry, and if honest, will admit to being a tad bit jealous over those rings!

Fun stuff!

And I really do admire your Q!

 

[chefrob]

LOL.........there is nuthin' refined 'bout that little rescue, she a real handful! as for the reference.......i got it, and as crappy as your team has been i love the fact that the town kept the name! that is football at it's finest............
