Haven't posted anything in a while, so I thought I'd show tonight's dinner-in-progress.

I'm smoking two racks of Wild Fork baby backs, about 3.5 lbs each, over Lumberjack 100% Cherry pellets.

Lately, I've been using Inglehoffer stone ground mustard instead of regular yellow mustard as a binder on my briskets and really like it. It's extremely coarse -loaded with whole and cracked mustard seeds which I've found really helps to add some additional thickness and crunch to my bark. It also has a stronger vinegar twang, so I decided to try it on my pork ribs today, and we'll see how it goes.

Now for a little proprietary pork rub:

I don't do a lot of baby backs, but my family likes falling-off-the-bone tender, not clean-bite. I was thinking 275 for 2 hours, wrap for 1 hour, and unwrap and glaze for 1 hour, but any input is welcome!

Did one dry and the other in a raspberry-chipotle glaze. I meant to take more pics, but this one of the dry rack was the only one I managed to snap before my family devoured them, lol!
