Smoke Day 2022 - Baby Backs on the WSM 22

[Peter Gallagher]

A belated Happy Smoke Day everyone - Chris, congratulations on 18 years - pretty amazing! This year we did baby backs - just a couple of pics:

...and plated - Served with some mac & cheese, Doris' garlic rolls and a arugula carrot salad which was really good - the first greens of the season of the garden - so yummy....

its sort of a bittersweet Smoke Day this year with the passing of Bob and Cliff - I spotted this guy (Western Tanager) yesterday afternoon and of course thought of Bob and his love of birds - I didn't know Bob that well, but his contribution and impact to the group was pretty obvious. I got to know Cliff fairly well over the years - he was an amazing guy and great cook for all the right reasons.... They are both missed but not forgotten this Smoke Day weekend.

Everything looks perfect; nice job! I pondered what we might have seen from Bob and Cliff on this thread had they still been with us.

Very nice cook and thanks for sharing the bird picture, I'm sure Bob would have loved it.

Tim,
The ribs look amazing and that plate shoot is just wow. I have thought a lot about Cliff and Bob also over this weekend. Pork steaks were on the menu, but got pushed out due to work interference. I want to make them as an honor to Bob here in the near future.
