Babybacks and fauxtatoes

[jcam222]

Decided to clear some freezer space for some higher yield meat so cleared out some of my babyback stash. Rubbed with Memphis sugar free rub and smoked with Oak lump charcoal a a blend of apple and pear wood. First time I’ve used the pear , it’s definitely very mild. Used SmokinAl method. Cooked for 3 hours , wrapped with butter, swerve brown and some rub I’m disposable foil pans. Cooked another hour at 275F and pulled them with internal temp of 200F. I didn’t sauce them as I usually prefer just dipping in some sauce when I do Memphis rub. Served up with some Keto Rosemary Gouda fauxtatoes and green beans with ramp butter. Fauxtatoes were basically this recipe of mine with rosemary Gouda and some parm for the cheese https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/smokey-gouda-fauxtatoes-au-gratin.292798/ Tasty! Gotta say though I truly prefer spare ribs over baby backs. Not much step by step today just cooked while doing some other stuff.

5 really nice looking racks.
You hosting the (illegal) block party?

I cannot decide between backs versus spares.
Wife says she prefers spares, but she inhaled my last round of backs.

Keeping about 1 1/2 racks and the rest going to family and friends. With the meat outlook they took up a lot of space in the freezer that I can fill with boneless higher yield meat. Hell I think I have 4 or 5 more still in the freezer. Baby backs are definitely meatier and my family and friends inhale mine. I always believe they are dryer than I want. To me spares are like the pork butt of ribs. Hard to mess up and always juicy. Just a lot more up front prep work.

I prefer spareribs too, but those baby backs look pretty delicious. Good job.
