    St. Louis Ribs in College Station.

    Got some family coming to town for my FIL's 90th. Still in great shape and sharp as a tack. Grabbed some St. Louis ribs. Sweet Baby Ray's for the binder. Mixture of Meat Church Texas Sugar and Holy Voodoo for the rub. I'll get them on pit here in a little bit. More pics to follow.
