Winter smokin'

[squeezy]

Fired up the CCSV at about 11 this morning ... 28ºF with sunshine for part of the day.
Did some side ribs, Quail, buffalo/Jalapeño sausage, Yukon Gold (small) taters, and ABT s consisting of Jalapeños, hot Hungarian, and some mini-bells (sweet for the missus).
Had everything done but the ribs at about 4 ... then ran out of LP ... switched to a full one and resumed cooking. Did not foil ribs this time ... sprayed apple juice for first 3 hours, then basted with a blend of Diana's Rib & Chicken with Diana's maple BBQ sauce until done at about 5:40
Ribs were very good as were everything, although the quail was a little rubbery but very tasty (first time ever eating quail)
Of course I had to try everything ... yep I'm full now!

Used mesquite & maple for that TBS
Had s good shot of the peppers (chilis) before cutting them up ... sometimes I just stupid ... I deleted it by my ineptitude!
Here is the rest ...

Hey Paul, great job my friend. I feel for ya on the winter weather. I talked with Gypsy earlier today, he was smokin in the rain, it was nice here, but only got up to 27 for a high, its 19 now and too dang cold to feed the fire, I just put the butts in the oven. Here are a coupla pictures.
3 butts, spare ribs, peanuts, bacon, scalloped spuds, and spaggettie(sp) squash.

Rich, the Hot Hungarian in my opinion may be a better taste than Jalapeños for flavor ... not much heat though! I add a shake or two of Habanero powder to the cheese filling to kick it up a notch....
Sweet baby bells are tasty too ... again for me, I just dust her up with a little Habanero powder.

Thanks to all for your kind comments ... you guys & gals are the best!

I decided to try marinating the ribs in apple juice like some members have suggested and decided against the 3-2-1 method.
Smoked with mesquite and maple for 3 hours and basted with BBQ sauce for the next 3½ hours ( propane ran out for a short time) at about the 5 hour mark.
Let me tell you ... I would love to enter this batch in a competition!
Just a light tug and the meat pulled away from the bone, moist tender and sweet.
Crap ... I just got hungry again!
