So after doing some reading, I decided to try my hand at some spare ribs. I got lucky and my local grocery store sells them pre trimmed with the tips in the package. Pretty neat if you ask me and I also got my little snack while cooking. Enough chat, here's some qview.

Rubbed and ready for the smoker. Had to cut them in half so they would fit on the ECB. Smoked in the 250-275 range with applewood.

Foiled with Chef JJ's foiling juice which was delicious!


After they were done cooking. I added the ketchup, mustard and cider vinegar to the foiling juice for the glaze. I glazed every 15 minutes for the last hour because my family likes em saucy.

Had to explain to my girlfriend what a smoke ring was and assure her they weren't underdone

The plate! With home made apple slaw and polynesian Mac salad. The ribs were so tender they kind of fell apart while slicing. Still delicious

Thanks for checking out my ribs, any questions feel free to ask.

Thanks guys! I've never had ribs that tender before so this was a real treat.

JJ, that foiling juice mixed up KC Style tasted better than every bottle of store bought sauce I've ever tasted man. You got yourself quite a gem there.
 
She loved them. She generally loves everything I put in front of her, but those ribs recieved especially high praise. Glad we were able to make you smile!
