No no! I'm not MIA. My virginal smoking of ribs happens today, Sunday the 20th. Beautiful outside. So so many wonderful ideas to jot down. I conferred with my beloved wife Penny (I really do mean that. We are as bonded a couple as I have ever met in my almost 60 years) and asked what SHE thought about this maiden smoker voyage. A problem we have together is we each wish more for the other's happiness than our own. But together we decided to try a simple 3-2-1 method, with a simple kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder and brown sugar dry rub. Then we will wrap the racks after 3 hours with some honey drizzle and a little juice for 2 hours, then unwrap and apply Sweet Baby Ray's for the final hour smoke. Hoping for great results folks. I'll post how they turn out. Thanks SO much everyone for the very helpful and appreciated suggestions. Don
Oh. Yesterday was "neighborhood yard sale Saturday, with a 60th birthday party for an old friend yesterday evening. Was pretty tied up all waking hours. Happy it is over!

Oh my they are great! Can't photo them because the camera is acting odd when I try to load the photos.. But they turned out wonderful, thanks to the folks here. I did go to Kroger this morning and asked if they had more $1.50 a pound baby backs, but the butcher went in the back came out and said "sorry but no". I asked if they would have them again at that price. He said "No. Not unless they send us 5 pallets full of them again!"
I need to hold off on the brisket. Our freezer is full, and my billfold is rather empty this week. Thanks again all! Don.

Glad to hear all turned out well!

But, the tummy is HAPPY!

5 pallets, wow that's a bunch of ribs!
I bet somebody got his pork butt spanked for that mistake.
Score for you though!

They were, as I said, delicious. I saved all my carbs for the day's rib meal. Skipped the baby bakers in butter as my wife got to enjoy. I'm limited to 50 carbs a day for the forseeable future, and have to lose a total of around 100 pounds, because of spinal troubles that can't be surgically repaired at this point. The Sweet Baby Ray's Chipotle and Honey sauce (got a couple bottles for 50 cents a piece with a coupon on the label this morning) has carbs but the ribs just had to have it. Nice little afterburn that was helped from some crushed red pepper in my rack's dry rub. Down 15 pounds so far. Thank goodness smoked meats are low carb as far as I've found. I'm keeping on a smokin' .Don
