I cannot say I'm happy with the pictures, and the meal still needs some polish, but I sure had fun.
Beef ribs, went for 8 hours at 250, covered around 6.5, turned out more like an excellent pot roast vs the ribs I've had in Texas BBQ joints. Taste was great, but still not quite what I'm looking for, and even with the dino ribs post where I've been sourcing my beef ribs lately, they still aren't what you get in Texas.
Collared greens, had to rush these, they could have used another 30 mins, but tasty.
First try at smoked mac and cheese was a success, I'd run another hour on the pit, and cut back on the white cheddar and season just a tad more.
All in all, just a fun birthday dinner after my annual pitch and putt golf and beer day.
