My brother-in-law is here to visit from Korea and has never had smoked ribs, so I am going to blow his mind today. It has been storming off and on all day, but since there is a break in the weather I am going for it. My wife liked the Memphis in May recipe I used last time, so I am going to try it again with a little tweaking to the finishing sauce. I will also be trying baby backs for the first time, so we will see how it goes. I'll keep updating the original post with Qview as time goes on. 

Recipe:

Rub

1/4 cup paprika

2 tablespoons garlic salt

1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1 tablespoon dry mustard

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cayenne

Sauce

1 cup tomato sauce

3/4 cup red wine vinegar

3 teaspoon Louisiana-style hot sauce

1 tablespoon butter

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup beer

Bring to a boil, simmer for 15 minutes

Here they are going on the rack


After two hours and ready to be foiled for another two


Pulled them out of the foil and they are back on the rack. Now I have to start on the finishing sauce.


Fresh off the smoker


Cuttin' em up. Like butter.


Plate of deliciousness. I devoured this quick!

Edit: actually it's easier for everyone if I just copy and paste it here again. Check the original post for recipe.

Also, I made some tweaks to the finishing sauce from last time. Reduced the vinegar by a quarter of a cup and added another teaspoon of hot sauce.

Looking good - looking forward to the finished product 
 
Finished inhaling my dinner and updated the OP with the final results. The tweaks I made to the finishing sauce worked out well. It didn't have the overwhelming vinegar taste it had last time. I threw a pinch of cayenne in it as well to add a little more kick. My brother-in-law was impressed and my wife was satisfied as always, so it was a good night. Now time for dessert.
