Father's Day came and went and I was smoking like a mad man..
My father works third shift on Friday and Saturday so he handed me the reigns while he slept before our guests arrived..
This was my 3rd time doing ribs and the first time completely solo, gotta admit I was feeling the pressure haha
I did 5 racks of ribs in total, 3 baby backs and 2 st Louis style spare rib racks. It was actually my first time properly trimming the st Louis and they looked damn good.
I used the 3-2-1 method on the spares and the 2-2-1 for the baby backs saucing on the last hour face down at 225-240. I also used a blend of hickory, oak, and cherry wood
Here's the spares all trimmed up with the chefs treat sitting next to it
Little mustard massage with some rub
Baby backs getting their mustard treat
The 3 hour mark, foiled with a splash of apple juice then back in for 2 hours.
Chefs treat came out at 90 mins
All 5 racks cut on the board ready to eat.. And my mom worried we didn't have enough food...
EDIT: let me know how the pictures look. I'm on my iphone and the thumbnails look blurry but when I click on them they look good
