Found some nice looking baby backs at the Wallace World and thought I'd give them a try.
I started out making Jeff's rub but didn't have enough paprika so I used some guajillo chili powder (sorry Jeff)...which changed the taste slightly and added some heat I think. I did make Jeff's BBQ sauce and it was a real hit!
Had some trouble keeping temps down, a front blew through and the winds were all over the place...I reckon I average around 250-255 for the duration. And since I wasn't sure on the BB's I may have went a bit long. I did 2-2-0.5 because when I took one set out of the foil they just fell apart. I went ahead with the 30min because I apparently added too much liquid to the foil and the the rub was very wet....cook and learn, right? I hit them with some BBQ about 10min from taking them off.
My wife really liked the ribs even though I think I can do better, they were very tender (too much really, bones pulled freely) and tasty. Used some pecan wood and a piece of hickory along with RO lump and a base of kingsford blue. I used my ET732 to check temps at the center of the cooker and the left end, used a cheapy on the right side, temps were about 15-20* apart right to left.
Anywho, here's the Q-view (I'm a poet and didn't know it....I can make it rhyme every time
)
