It seemed like eternity since I last whipped up some of these country style ribs and Mrs philpom had recently brought a pack of nice ones home. A perfect Sunday afternoon smoke.

I brought the primo up to 250°f using fogo lump and a combination of mesquite chips and hickory chunks. Seasoned the meat with my house blend pork rub GPR #86 and on the Primo they went.

I spritzed with apple cider vinegar a few time during the cook. These took about 150 minutes to probe tender at an internal temp of around 197°f.

Tasty nuggets but honestly I should have pulled them closer to 190°f I.T.

I served it with some hashbrown cakes and dare I say ketchup. :)

Thanks for checking it out. What's something you haven't done in awhile? Maybe it's time!

Looks great and YES on the ketchup for those hash browns.

Thanks everyone, had leftovers today for lunch and it was tasty. Just cubed some up and had it with cubed cheese kinda like a buc ees road cup. Trying to figure on the next cook, we like to keep plenty of meat around as we don't eat out often.
 
Going to do some CS ribs on the Akorn Auto-kamado tomorrow. Did a small batch last week (sorry, no pics) trying out 3 different rubs. Wife pronounced them all good and the ones with Jeff's rub as 'delicious'.

Thanks for sharing, I tried to smoke some country style pork ribs that I cut from a boneless butt. Not sure what I did wrong but they cam out really tough. But they were all devoured. So I'm looking for some ideas in this forum.

Thank you and good luck with your next attempt, what's so great is that most of the time even mistakes taste great.

My best pointers:

Go big, 3"x3"
Look for high fat
Brine them overnight
Smoke on foil
Go medium slow ~250° - 275°
Baste or spritz often
Pull at an IT of ~190° for slicing

True, I was hoping for leftovers but it was not to be. Thanks for the tips. Will definitely brine them next time, cook on the smoker for a couple of hours or so and then in foil for the remainder time. I think I pulled too soon as we were running late for a late lunch last July 4th hungry crowd.
