A friend paid me a visit and along with him came 3 racks of ribs. We fired up the smoker and away we went. I did my basic pork but rub on 2 racks and decided to mop the 3rd with BBQ sauce.

The 2 rubbed racks came out great! But the mopped rack was a little on the tough side. I think it was because I accidentally hit them with my spritz first without even thinking. After that they tightened up. Live and learn I guess! We also tossed some potatoes on along with fresh corn smothered in fresh garlic, butter and other seasonings.

These pics were taken prior to being finished. I was going to take some of the final product but it was gone too fast :)

I see nothing wrong from here.

When is dinner?

Good luck and good smoking.

when did you start the mop?

On my mopped ribs, I still rub them and then apply the mop about 45min (then again about 20min) or so before they're done...

I had them on bare and mopped way too early. After I did it I figured I will rub them next time and towards the end start the mop. Live and learn!

You need to hang on to your friend.  Friends that bring their own ribs for smoking are very rare....

Looks good to me.

I'm with EJ, I would love to have friends like that.

The ones I have just show up to eat!  

Thanks for the Qview
