Well Judy went over to the coast for a couple of days with her girlfriend who has a condo over there. It was alright, I had a bunch of work to do around the house yesterday & got started.
When I dropped my DeWalt screw gun & it broke in half. So nothing left to do but order one from Amazon & thaw out a rack of ribs! Popped open a cold one & went to the store on a beer run. By the time I came back the ribs were thawed out so I got the Lang fired up, rubbed down the ribs & away we go.

Put an umbrella over the Lang cause they said rain today.

Got the fire going.

And on go the ribs.

I basted them every half hour or so with a combo of BBQ sauce & apple juice. Kept the sauce hot sitting on the firebox for a few minutes, before I basted them. Ribs are on the bottom rack so there at about 225-230. As it turns out, it never did rain, so I took down the umbrella.

Been on about 4 hours & the IT is about 165, so I'm gonna wrap them.

First a nice layer of rub.

Then raw sugar & butter.

Meat side down & the rest of the mop sauce goes on top.
I left the membrane on.

Back on the Lang for about 1 hour.

Hit an IT of 190 in just about 1 hour.

Now add some BBQ sauce & onto a hot gas grill to burn the membrane off & caramelize the sauce.

All done & ready to eat.

As you can tell I like my ribs saucy.

They had a perfect bite.

My 92 year old neighbor across the street from me, just lost his wife so I took him a plate of ribs. He came back over in about 10 minutes with a six pack of imported beer & said they were the best ribs he has ever had. So I guess I'll have to keep sending care packages over to him. Bet he'd like a fattie!!

Thanks for looking fellas!

Bachelor ribs! Those look awesome Al. And I see the Coronas were going down well during her absence. B
 
Looks good Al... Good job taking care of your neighbor...
Speaking of neighbors... you got any gators in that slough...
 
That's a great setup you've got, Al. And that bite on the ribs looks perfect! Planning some baby backs tomorrow myself, hope they come out that well!
 
Nice looking ribs Al, You definitely have that Lang dialed in. That was mighty neighborly of you to.

Point for sure.

Thanks a lot fellas!
Actually I had a pretty good time by myself!
Nothing to do but what I wanted to do!!
And yea Dave there's gators back there, not all the time, cause especially now during mating season, they move around a lot. There are water moccasins in there too, now those scare me, but the gators don't bother anybody.

Ribs look real good. Point!
Glad your neighbor like them. That’s a good feeling when you here that. 92 years old, WWII veteran? If so, not to many around anymore.
 
Ha busted !!! I think you deliberately dropped that screw gun so you could tackle beer and bbq instead ;)

Nice lookin’ ribs Al, just the way I like them cooked !!!
