Three magnificent racks of St. Louis style pork ribs are going down for a low and slow rumba.
One rack done with mustard, the other two water and all hand rubbed with much care and attention.
I love rubbing my meat

.




The Menu

Cole Slaw, made with Alabama White BBQ sauce
Waffle Fries

Cooking Method
Smoked at 250' on my Char-Grill Commercial Tru-IR 4 burner

2 hours of hickory smoke, apple juice bast at 3rd and 4th hour

One hour in foil then unwrap and another hour dry.

Hey, I am going to try and smoke some St. Louis style ribs. Just to clarify for the beginner.
Cooking Method
You will smoke them with hickory at 250º for 2 hours
You will continue to cook at 250º but without the smoke.
At 3 hours you spray them with apple juice
At 4 hours you spray them with apple juice
At 5 hours you rap them in tinfoil

The last hour you take the tinfoil off and finish the cooking.

Thanks

 
This is ancient history, times and methods have changed.
I no longer cook my pork ribs in this manner.

I don't bother removing the membrane from the back of the bones.

I dry rub with my homemade pork rub.

Fire up the smoker to 225°-240° with Cherry for smoket, other woods work just fine too.

I use a water pan.

Low-n-slow for 6-6.5 hours until they pass the 'Pop, Bend and Crack Test'.

No turning, spritzing, wrapping, no glazing with sauce unless someone begs for it.

Rub, Smoke and Eat.
