Dinner with the future in laws and decide to smoke some ribs. Last time they came over, they mentioned how much they loved ribs, and I thought oh... I can do me some ribs. Pretty basic rub SPOG, chili, cumin, lt brown sugar, and some cayenne for some heat. Refrigerate overnight to soak in that flavor, in the Kamado this morning at 230* and off we go.

Going 2-1-1, then re-foil for the trip to dinner. (Don't typically foil anymore with ribs, but I know they're going to sit a little and that will mean dry ribs and that just won't do)
Spritzed after the first hr with some soda, apple cider vinegar, some of my rub, lt brown sugar, worchestire, and water.

Temps running a little higher than I'd like when I foiled (176*), almost don't need the foils, but I want that moisture, butter, brown sugar, and rub that's laying on the foil.

Here they are out of the foil, little sauce and a little more time on the grill to tighten everything back out and then off to dinner...Enjoy

Mmm, looks fantastic. Looks like a good way to get in good the future in-laws.

Thanks guys, they came out way better than I thought they were going to be. The meat didn't really draw back on the bone like I'm used to so i was a little nervous they were going to be tough. Ended up wrapping them back up for the trip and to hopefully tenderize a bit better and since they actually finished early, i put them in the grill that was still holding temp at about 210* for 40 minutes to keep them warm and maybe push them a shade further.

They actually came out competition style with perfect bite from the bone and super juicy. Not sure I could ever duplicate the cook since it didn't go as planned or even close, but can't argue with the results.

Nice job on those ribs, they look delicious, and not all ribs have pull-back when they're done.

Point for sure
Chris
