BBQ Gold

Went to my local Wal-Mart looking for some spare ribs for an upcoming tailgate party. NONE were to be found only 1 or 2 baby backs. I found the market manager and asked if they would be getting any in soon. She tells me "Oh, they have several but needed room for Turkeys and that they actually had been marked down since the season was over and they had too many on hand". So, I asked if I could pick out a few slabs. She wheels out a cart and I see that the price is all the way down to $1.42 / lb. That's right folks only a buck 42 per pound
UMMM, so now I have 175 lbs of spares in the freezer and I'm still not sure how to explain this to the wife.

Awesome. Just tell her you bought them for Frank. ha ha ha

Whatta steal. That may be worth a trip to AL for that price.

Use the line my wife uses on me: "But honey it was on sale!"

[Rodcrafter]

That is too funny! I would have done the same thing.

This all turned out pretty good. Wife got home and agreed the price was crazy cheap since she is getting 3.69/lb at her market. Then my dad calls later in the evening and places an order for 12 slabs to be brought up at Christmas. Briskets go on sale next week at my wife's market so I gotta get some smoking done to make room in the freezer. Not sure on how good that math works since I have to freeze the vac packed slabs when they are done but in my mind there will be room for a few packers.

All the years we had a separate freezer and it sat full of ice....that is a nice sale

Smoked some Butts for family and friends today. Neighbors ended up buying about 7 themselves so no extras for my freezer but had a blast and I had planned on getting a few calls during the day Fire was lit at 4:00 AM, smoker was 375 F by 5:00 and the butts were sealed tight by 5:15. Temp actually fell down to 240 during the initial load. Here is a snap shot after 5 hours when I rotated shelves. Will be pulling at 4:00, ran 11 hrs at 250F. No wrapping just 1 rotation and never open the door again. I'll grab a pic right before they get pulled.

It's a thing of beauty….

Good thing I smoked a few extra. Ended up with only 2 to put up in the freezer. Neighbors are fairly predictable.
I trimmed these pretty close and mixed in extra brown sugar on the rub so the bark ended up being fairly crispy
