Saturday afternoon I decided to cook Sue a chicken and myself a bit of pork ribs. I split the chicken in half to try something different from the usual whole chicken and I cut a rack of ribs in half with the intention of using the small half for myself. At the last minute my daughter showed up so I decided to cook all of the rib rack. It took a bit of arranging to get all the food on my medium egg but somehow the deed was done. About three hours later we sat down to eat and watched the first night of the Olympics.

I started out with half a rack which I sprinkled down with my own rub.

I first placed the ribs on the grill using the old indirect firebrick method. I had a couple of chunks of oak mixed in with the lump for good smoke. I put the ribs on as soon as the oak started to smoke as I love that smoke thing. Temp had not come up to par but I wanted smoke to penetrate the pork asap!
