And here they are the boar ribs that I have been talking about on chat for a while as some of you know.
I have been starting to experiment with the lesser used herbs thus the use of juniper berries. I feel the need to mention at this point that if you are going to use them buy them in a store, because some can cause stomach problems along with others problems. for more information go to https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/juniper/are-all-juniper-berries-edible.htm

so here we go
the rub
14 grams juniper berry
14 grams tricolor pepper
7 grams fennel seed
7 grams rosemarry
all ground up,
14 grams kosher salt

did theses with a new method i just tried it was a 2, 1.5, .5 method. 2 hour smoke, 1.5 hour warped, .5 hour in smoke after sauce. i was afraid i would dry out and make tough. interesting thing happened the smaller ones were fall off the bone.
i will defenitley use my rub again.
sorry for the long post

I am very happy with the results had good flavor the sauce gave them a nice tangy flavor
