Last week and weekend was a flurry that went by quick, and ended up with me having a miserable cold.  But...in between, I ate some serious que!  Here's what was on-tap for Memorial Day weekend:

I was drooling over the babyback recipie with brown sugar coating.  For once, luck was on my side, and I got two slabs of babybacks from Target on sale for $1.79/lb.  Oh YEAH!!!

So, here's the prep:

Brown Sugar on the first rack after a mild sprinkle with Salt Lick rub.

Next up was the the rack with only Salt Lick rub going in for the 2-2-1 method.

Alright...I only have fruit woods in chips, so to prevent billowing white smoke, I pack the apple chips tight in foil.  I was going with a mesquite and apple wood combo here.  I have mesquite chunks, so those go straight to the pan.

The 2-2-1 ribs are already in, as the brown sugar variety will go in after 30 minutes.  Looks like we're ready!!!

It looks like I timed these perfectly, as they were both ready at the same time.  I love it when a plan comes together!
