The BBQ Sauce I will make tomorrow morning and it will be quasi KC style. Obviously, smoking typically requires a dry patted down meat however the marinate I used is wet with non-salt spices. The reason I don't use salt even though it is crucial to draw the moisture to the surface is due to my high blood pressure. Sodium is NOT my friend. So I use No Salt which has potassium rather than sodium. In this case, I have various non-salt seasoning mixes I use and the side ribs I have fresh lemon juice and a fake soya sauce with some dry spices and the breast bones have Worcester Sauce and Apple Cider Vinegar and some Cayenne Pepper and another non-salt dry seasoning mix. I have a covered stack a pear tree clippings -- some 4" in diameter -- that a friend gave me in 2022 from trimming his 2 massive pear trees. It is a small vertical electric smoker so it is limited in so many ways however it gets the job done for the infrequent smoking that I do these days. I forgot to quote your post. Please see my response now above this. Gorgeous!!! That makes me as happy as a little girl....

Scored 12 lbs of fresh side ribs early this morning. That is just 2 large side ribs with massive breast bones attached. Cut them down to 4 racks of side ribs and 4 large breasts. Marinated them differently and now in back of the fridge to be flipped every 12 hours. Will throw them in the electric smoker on Sunday. Very promising start.

Geez...I hope this unusual lack of activity on this weekly thread in this highly successful Bills season is NOT a harbinger of the result of Sunday's game. Burnt Ends is what I hope to make again for Sunday's game. The electric smoker is under the roof of the raised veranda off the kitchen however the forecast for Sunday Afternoon is a very windy high of 28F (feels like 14F) which is NOT ideal smoking weather. I can shelter the smoker from the westerly wind and with the blue tooth temperature monitors I don't really need to go outside very often. Screw it -- I am doing it!! I am taking one for the team. Next rib up!!!

I have brushed them with olive oil before putting them in the air fryer oven and they are very good. It is difficult to match the traditional flavour of deep frying them. However, when you are not frying them and air frying them, it is easier to marinate them in the fridge for a day or two. Deep frying tends to require a dry wing and the spices tend to just dirty the oil up. Grilling them on the BBQ or air frying them keeps the spice and marinate engaged.

Nothing pairs better with Egg Salad than French Onion Soup, Stir Fry Broccoli, Cabbage Coleslaw, Baked Beans, Crap Cakes and a dozen high IBU IPA Beers. Victory Monday Morning will be truly atmospheric changing. Please stay away from any open flames until further notice after consuming the above all together. OLAY!!!
