Did 2 slabs of baby backs today on the Lang. I had a nice day with absolutely nothing planned so I figured I'd beat the snowstorm. Well... the storm didn't follow script so I was outside in the wind and snow with the smoker eating wood like they were pellets. Kept a steady temp between 230° and 240° which is lower than I like cooking ribs (240-260). This was my 1st time doing ribs Texas style with just salt and pepper with a pinch of habanero. We love the heat! I wasn't sure if I'd like them because I love using tomato based sauces. Much to my delight, they were amazing. I cannot explain the delicious true pork flavor that came through. Absolute home run. I will be doing more of these in the future. On the smokerfor 3 1/2 hours, wrapped in foil for @1 hour and 15 minutes, and a short rest.

Great looking smoke. Time to put the chains on that smoker!
 
Hopefully you don't get the winds and crap to make it a blizzard. As a MN native getting a bunch of snow is a storm, add in 35+ mph winds and you get a blizzard. Yeah splitting hairs but it is a difference lol. Either way it looks delicious!!!
 
Damned if they don't look good...

Can I make a suggestion tho... for even more authentic TX style... go all the way nekkid... do not wrap ... with a GOOD instant read thermometer .. take them to 195` in the thickest part of the meat for a clean bite with a lil tug ...

I was planning on going the whole smoke unwrapped but the weather changed my plans. The wind was blowing pretty good today so I wanted to speed things up. Thanks for the advice. Next time around for sure.
 
Nice job! Maybe your new rib cooking temperature?
I only use a light dust of salt & pepper on ribs and no sugar. Don't wrap either.
My wife is a big tomato sauce fan. I need to smoke out a rack and finish (simmer) them in a tomato sauce for her.

I drove from south to north Illinois today. I fought wind most of the way with some drifting snow in exposed areas north of Bloomington and south of Rockford.
After seeing Dantij Dantij photo, I am so glad we hit the road at 06:00 and got ahead of most of it. Safely in Minneapolis for the evening.

Please be careful. I know we have freezing rain and freezing fog here right now. 511.org. Best of luck.
