When we bought our house, the people before left us a smoker out in the back yard, but until recently I hadn't used it. I suppose the reason I hadn't used it was because I was scared for some reason. Scared of failure I guess.
As you may have read on my sister's blog, we split half a cow last month and I had some beef short ribs that were screaming my name. So I looked up a recipe online and away I went. Did I mention I did all this while Jerilyn was out of town so I could have them all to myself?The verdict: pretty tasty, I smoked them for 2 1/2 hours and then transfered them to the crockpot slathered in barbecue sause to finish them off and render some of the fat off of them. As you can see, I smoked 4 slabs and 2 of them were really good, while the other two were still tasty, but there was really too much fat on them to be worth it. I still have a package or two in the freezer, so I'll probably be doing these again.

Those look yummy. Wish I could have been there to try them.
Sweet...you should have called me I could have helped finish those off...
never be afraid of failure, when success is delicious meat slathered in BBQ sauce.
