Smoking spareribs on the Kamado

It was time to up the ante on the Kamado grill by using it as a smoker. Smoking on the name-brand Big Green Egg is well documented, to say the least, but I was interested to see how my CostCo-bought Vision Grill would perform. Read on to find out.

Home-made rub made with salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic, thyme, and paprika. Tasty.

It was harder than I thought to keep the temperature low enough for smoking. And no, I don't clean the outside of the grill often. The food goes on the inside.

To keep the temperature low enough, the lower vent needs to be almost closed.

Same goes for the upper vent.

After smoking for three hours, I wrapped the ribs in aluminum foil with brown sugar and apple juice and let them sit for another hour.

Finished product on the plate. Tastes even better than it looks.

The meat falls off the bones.

The great soft box in the sky hovered over Phoenix on the 4th of July, so it was time for some barbecue photography.

Sweet, sweet BBQ

Nic loves his Kamado grill so much he makes a video about grilling on it.
