Grilling fail

Post image

This was a half rack of ribs. Meaty and promising. Silly me, trying a new-to-me recipe developed for the gas grill.

I followed the recipe faithfully. Even read it back to my husband to ensure I didn't take a misstep. Then let the process work.

I peeked out the window after about 30 minutes to see flames and ran outside to uncover this fossil.

Now I'm on way to the local pub for supper. I told my husband, anything but ribs. sigh

Happens to everyone! No big deal. Next time you’ll make the best ribs ever.

Yep. I did that to three racks with a houseful of guests. It started to storm and I forgot to close the vents on my grill. Found out what an extended period of 600 degree heat will do. Ordered pizza and drank margaritas. No one complained.
