Man Day Firepit BBQ Ribs

ribs

If this doesn’t inspire BBQ greatness at your Memorial Day cookout, I don’t know what will. Pictures of ribs on a fire have a guaranteed Pavlovian effect on me every time. The smell in real life is even more intoxicating.

A few Saturdays ago, M and his cousin, J, decided that they needed a “Man Day.” They do this sometimes. Sometimes it’s a drive to Cabela’s to window shop for hunting and camping stuff they never buy. Sometimes it’s building an outdoor gypsy camp in preparation for a theme party. I usually picture them having their own Home Movies McGuirk-style Crywalkers group out in the woods. Who knows what they do, and who cares? Seriously. A Man Day in the woods means a Woman Day in the house.

This time, they went up to J’s family’s cabin, built a fire pit out of bricks and a grill grate, and cooked delicious ribs. I almost always benefit from Man Day. I got to enjoy a half rack of ribs with a baked potato fairly fresh off the fire. An amazingly sweet and flavorful surprise dinner! M writes the recipe below, so it’s straight from the ginger horse’s mouth. Fire pit construction instructions available upon request.

About mel

Hello Fellow Food Enthusiasts! I am the East Coast Representation of Cast Iron & Wine. I'm a married gal in my late 30's, living in northeast Pennsylvania. The hubbs is really the one who does most of the cooking and experimenting, so I will mostly be describing his recipes and the results (good or bad). I will call him "M", like Moriarty. Expect Anthony Bourdain-level snark whenever possible from both of us. We only kinda became foodies in the last few years, so many many tastes are new to us. My posts fall mostly in the "what NOT to do" category, but I'm learning. I'm so excited that we have a venue like this to share food experiences!
