Patio Ribs

[Tim524]

  It's been a while since I busted out the Cast Iron and Max requested some Dutch Oven Ribs for dinner, so I grabbed the 14 incher and got busy. I cut up 2 packs of Baby Backs, seasoned them up and strategically put them in 


This Dutch Oven doesn't fit on my stand so I had to put a tray on it to make it work. The stand is made for 12'' and smaller Coals on top and bottom, good to go



Cut up some potatoes and made Fries too


Mongo was supervising


A little over an hour and it was Chow Time I managed to get 1, the rest were polished off by the rest of the Clan



Looks like rain is on the way, be safe out there !

That looks awesome...

Rain came through and my buddy got a big halibut in the middle of it yesterday morning.

I'm assuming you were out this morning hoping to duplicate his success?

Caught up on sleep. I will say my last two (short) halibut were in the rain, so I felt good about his odds. It's gonna be snotty tomorrow morning, it would probably be smart to plan something if just from shore.

I finally bought a camp cast iron oven, but still need to try it out.  This looks like a great way to break it in!

I am assuming it is pre seasoned, if not you will need to season it And NEVER EVER NEVER use soap to clean it !  Looking forward to seeing your posts

I do have cast iron pans, so well aware but curious on how many lumps of coal etc....

The rule of thumb is subtract 3 from the diameter for the bottom and add 3 for the top to achieve 350 degrees. So on a  a 12'' D/O you will need 9 under and 15 on top. Wind and and temp plays into it as well, it just takes a bit to get used to but it is a good way to get your body's iron levels up

I use this stand, it is great
