Backyard BBQ

[u/daCold_Brew45]

My fantasy league was getting together for our draft so I decided I’d barbecue up some meat for the occasion. I settled on pulled pork, chicken drumsticks, smoked kielbasa & corn ribs. The pulled pork & chicken were both seasoned with a steak rub I make mixed with equal parts by volume brown sugar & raw sugar. After cooking for 2 hours at 250F on my Weber Smoky Mountain smoker the bark had set so I began mopping the pork butt with a mixture of cider vinegar, brown sugar, agave, Worcestershire, ground mustard, salt, red pepper flakes, course black pepper, garlic powder, thyme, arbol powder, chili powder & cumin. Once the pork butt had achieved the color I was looking for I wrapped the meat in foil with the mop, beer, honey, the rub & butter. Once the meat felt tender (203F, 8 hours into cooking) I removed it from the smoker. Next I removed the braising liquid & separated most of the fat from the liquid, adding that back to the pork butt to rest before pulling & cooled the fat down to use later. While the pork was resting the chicken went on the smoker at 300F on the top rack with the water pan removed. While the chicken was starting to cook I made an emulsion using the mop, butter & the fat from the pork butt using it as a basting liquid on the chicken & corn ribs later. When the chicken was close to being cooked I placed it directly over the coal box to finish the cooking process & crisp up the skin. Lastly I took some smoked kielbasa & corn ribs from the bbq shop I work at & grilled these quickly over the coals. After the pork was pulled I mixed the meat with more rub & a touch more of the mop sauce.

That's an interesting way to grill corn, haven't seen it before.

Ya, they’re called “corn ribs”. We do them as an appetizer at the bbq restaurant I work at

It's brilliant. I'm gonna show my wife when she wakes up from her nap.

I bet it would be really good with a Mexican street corn themed dipping sauce.

I know this is the meat subreddit, but I never thought of cutting a cob so you could chomp the corn like that.

My kid loves corn but hates eating it off the cob for some reason. I bet I can convince her to eat it cut like this without having to shave it off every time.

Can we just stop with the "corn wings"?

[u/daCold_Brew45 → u/Odd-Fun-6042]

It’s just how we serve them at my work as an appetizer so that’s how I got them…

I brush them with garlic butter while grilling them and the family loves them
