My father-in-law made shrimp for the family 4th get-together. Generally, I make some kind of alternative protein/meat for the non-shrimp eaters. I decided on some St. Louis ribs with no wrapping.
I coated the three racks in rib rub from a local market in our area the night before. Cut the racks in half to fit on my WSM (I fit 4 on the rack up top and the last two halves on the bottom shelf), threw in some hickory chunks, and I was off and running.
About 5 hours later, the ribs were near the 195 mark as Smokin Al uses, so I took them off. I turned my gas grill on low (150-200) to glaze up the sauce I applied. 3 halves were Sweet Baby Rays and I tried out Stubbs regular for the other 3 (a coworker who also smokes highly recommended Stubbs so I gave it a shot). The ribs were cut up and placed in separate bowls.
Both batches were a hit. Most people liked the flavor the Sweet Baby Rays. The Stubbs regular sauce had almost no flavor but the texture of the sauce was thicker and better. I said I may have to try another flavor from Stubbs. Not a ton of pictures since we eating, entertaining, and having a good time!
Shrimp and ribs was a meal to remember. Thanks for looking and happy belated 4th!
