So we finally got our first official day above 70°!

That's a good enough excuse in my book to fire up the WSM and cook up some ribs!

The Costco around here quit carrying the full slab of spare ribs, and now carries the St. Lois cut spare ribs - they are actually done very well! This was the first time I had bought them and I do like them.

Here are the three victims all rinsed, dried, and ready to get some rub!

.... short while later, a slather of mustard, and some home made rub! We are ready to go!

Onto the WSM at 250° with some cherry wood for the smoke.

Fast forward 3 hrs. and ready to foil.... had two in the foil then rememberd to take a pic.... lol.

Left them in the foil for about 1 hr. 20 min., and I discoverd that if you foil them without any additional liquid they come out perfect! Very moist, but not falling appart.

Brushed them with some sauce and tossed onto the Weber Kettle for a high heat caramelization of the sauce.

Oh snap! Man those look good! They came out perfect, just a nice light smoke ring and loads of flavor!

.... and if this don't spell the end to a perfect day then I don't know what does!

Except maybe this! (my 10 yr. old daughter checked out a cook book based upon Disneys The Princess and the Frog movie, and this is "Ray's Mud Pie" - she made it all by herself)

My daughter liked all the compliments on her desert.... I told her I expect her to be cooking dinner for me by the time she's 16... lol.
 
Send me a PM if you want some kid friendly recipes - I have them from our 4H class we teach 
 
Very nice looking St Louie's.  Can't beat the WSM...Now give us the rub and your sauce recipe for our close scrutinization!  LOL

Ray's Mud Pie...WELL DONE!
Well if I actually wrote down my recipes I could give you exact amounts but here is the basics:

RUB:
  • 3/4 C brown sugar
  • 1/4 C Paprika
  • 1/4 C Granulated Garlic
  • 2 Tbs. Kosher Salt
  • 2 Tbs. fresh cracked pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. cayanne powder
  • taste it and adjust as desired... you can add if you want as well.
SAUCE:
  • 1 Part Sweet Baby Rays Original
  • 1/2 part cider vinegar
  • 1/2 part apple juice
  • Molassas to taste
  • Heat to a low simmer and let it reduce by approx. 1/3 to 1/2 - taste and adjust as neaded. It is a somewhat thin sauce with a nice tang to it.
I am just across the river from you in Washougal. I cooked the smae ribs and some ABT's (first time with ABT's...not the last after they went so fast!). Here is tohoping the sun sticks around a bit...but looking out the window, it is wishful thinking :(
On the plus side this next weekend is supposed to nice as well.... time for more ABT's!
