First smoke in a new Weber One-Touch 22.5 - Two slabs of ribs

[haeffb]

I've had a MES for several years, but have wanted to try it old school for a while. I bought a Weber kettle for the Fourth of July weekend, and broke it in by grilling some chicken, steaks and assorted sides over the past week.

Last night I set up a trial smoke to see how it was going to go, and prepped a couple of slabs of baby backs with my homemade rub:

Set out this morning by making a half ring of Kingsford Competition briquettes with a few chunks of apple wood mixed in.

Grill hot and ribs ready:

Here's the wings, just a smile brine and smoke. Crisped the skins a bit on the old gas grill:

And the ribs after spritzing with an apple juice/brown sugar mix for the last hour an a half, ready to come off the grill:

And, finally, the ribs ready to plate:

I think you should have vacuum packed a few of those bones and sent them to me! Looks great.
