Drumsticks for poker tonight

 

 

Once a month a bunch of us in town get together to play some no limit hold 'em tournaments. In addition to good company and good poker, it's a pot luck. Tonight I did 20 pounds of drumsticks in the smoker for about 4 hours. They were seasoned with salt, pepper, onion power, garlic powder and rosemary.

At least I'll eat well tonight :-)

Mother's Day

My mother in law requested baby back ribs for Mother's Day, so I smoke a couple of racks of those. In addition I got 4 racks of spare ribs and did those as well. I cut them into St. Louis ribs and smoked the ribs and the rib ends together. Everybody was pleased with the outcome. One of the folks at dinner said he didn't usually like ribs. He proceeded to have 4 serviings.

Having a good knife is key to getting this done. And that membrane can be tough to pull off.
