    Spare ribs and rib tips

    Suie: Turned out that the wife hid some in the back of the fridge for me for a snack this afternoon. Everyone said that they really liked them, but I'm always very critical of my own cooking. So, here are my "lessons learned". I would be very happy if anyone chimes in with their opinions about...

    Spare ribs and rib tips

    Thanks for asking...we made out great! My wife and kids were out pretty late yesterday. Not being too greedy, I ate about a third of one rack, left the rest in the kitchen for them, and went to my neighbor's house. Came back finding a big pile of bones, and nothing more! I bought the ribs...

    Great job, Suie! I had a part break off when I unfoiled them...gave me a chance to take a "sneak peek", and I'm happy! Enjoy your dinner, and thanks for the pictures!

    Spare ribs and rib tips

    Hmmm...must be contageous! Several of us cooking ribs today. Did y'all know that today (Apr. 27th) is National Prime Rib Day? Well, we may not be cooking prime rib, but here's to hoping that all of our ribs turn out great!

    Spare ribs and rib tips

    After reading your post, JJ, I just remembered: I have a large container of mustard...meant to slather it on the ribs before putting on the rub, and I'm now realizing that I forgot to do that! Hope it doesn't matter too much. Oops! Oh, well...still learning.

    As for JJ's foiling juice, I've seen a lot of posts here praising it. It was a no-brainer for me to try it.

    Hope you don't mind me posting a pic on your thread, Suie. Just wanted to show that I really was cooking ribs today as well. It's obvious: Great Minds Think Alike!

    Spare ribs and rib tips

    Got it below 230, so I figured it's OK to open it up...a bit less than 1.5 hrs. Spritzed them, too, but no bourbon on hand. Oh, well...at least the beer's cold! I put drip pans on the lower shelf...less of a hassle than foiling the water bowl.

    Spare ribs and rib tips

    Just got into poking around the site: I'm doing my first spare rib smoke on my WSM today. Darned: meant to take a picture when I put them on an hour ago, but I don't want to open the lid now. I'm a bit south of you, and yes, it is hard to keep the temps down. I'm trying for 225, but it's...

    40 lb.s of Kingsford Charcoal $12.88 @ Home Depot This Week

    C farmer: I'm no expert, but I've heard that lump charcoal burns hotter and faster, so it might not be good if you're trying to keep low temps for a long time. I've aslo heard that Kingsford tends to burn more uniformly (especially better when using the Minion method). But, be forewarned: I...

    40 lb.s of Kingsford Charcoal $12.88 @ Home Depot This Week

    Thanks for the tip! Even though it's not the greatest price, it doesn't hurt to have a little "insurance" rather than having to pay full price before the big savings hit.

    Thighs! Lots of thighs!

    Were you monitoring the temperature of the thighs? I'm still learning, but I guess that I wouldn't worry about the darkness as long as they're not under or over the desired IT...around 175* from what I've read here at SMF. I like to crispen up the skin a little, so I'll smoke them to about 170*...

    Welcome, Tom! Glad to see more Marylanders here. (RdKnB, too! You two are probably pretty close to each other.)

    Thighs! Lots of thighs!

    Kath68911: It's the opposite in my house. I can always wait it out, especially when I can sit back, relax, and enjoy a cold one here and there. My wife only knows how to cook indoors on "High" (I don't think that she knows what "Med" and "Low" mean), but the problem is that she walks away from...

    MustangMary: That's the great thing about this site: just go to the Search bar near the top of the page ("Search Forums, Articles, Reviews, and more!"), and type in "Brisket rub". Look to see what interests you, and then type "Best wood for brisket". There is a plethora of information here just...
