Decided I wanted ribs for Fathers day, and the wife wasn't gonna argue with that... lol. Also figured since I was gonna fire up the WSM might as well fill it! No sense in wasting rack space.

So I also picked up some boneless pork butts that were on sale at Cash n' Carry for $1.39/lb. I made up what I call my "Rasta Rub".... it has jerk seasoning in it and goes really well with pork and chicken.

On with the show! The butts were up first since they are going to take the longest.

Two hours in.... just before I added the ribs to the top rack.

Tossed the ribs on at 2:00 pm, 3 nice racks of St. Louis cut spares.

I cooked the ribs (and butts) low at 230°, and did not foil anything, the ribs got finished off over some high heat coals on my Weber Kettle with some sauce brushed on them so it would caramelize and char just a tad.

Plated up with some pan roasted cauliflower, some chicken rice, and a little more sauce.... my kids literally lick the sauce off the plate... lol.

.... and 10 hr. mark, sittin' pretty at 192° and 194° internal temps. I am not going to pull them tonight, so I am just wrapping them whole and letting them rest for about 2 hours before popping them into the fridge.

Nice looking butts!!!! Would you be interested in sharing that rub recipe?
 
It is a fairly simple rub:

1 C brown sugar

1/3 C paprika

1/4 C Tony Chacharos Creole Seasoning

1/4 C granulated garlic

1 Tbs. mustard powder

1 Tbs. of a fairly hot dry jerk seasoning (can reduce if you want less heat)

If you don't have ant Tony C's you can sub 2 Tbs. of kosher salt, 1 Tbs. fresh ground black pepper, and 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. cayanne powder. I suggest you start small with the jerk seasoning till you find your heat level... I like a nice spicy bite myself... lol.
