... Or some time for spares.

I haven't barbecued a full slab of spares in some time. Prairie Fresh brand has moved into several of my markets, including Wall Mart, and they have excellent products. I decided to go all out with injecting, layering a couple of favorite rubs, white pepper and TLC. When it came to the wrapped step I only used about a tablespoon of Tennessee Red vinegar based sauce, none of the other popular goodies. Trimming was minimal.

And I seasoned the ribs when I lit my fire, which was about 45 minutes before going on the pit. Both rubs have paprika, and deliver a great color as the meat sweats.

I barbecued them 3 hours indirect using my Slow 'N Sear basket, and I did fill the reservoir with hot water. This is a dual purpose, as the water wall is a heat buffer, and it adds humidity. The pit temp stayed around 270°.

Wrapping was about an hour, and I flipped them over to re-set the bark a little. I rested 1-hour in a cooler before slicing.

Those look perfect Wayne and also prefer the full spares. Never tried that injection but it's on my list!

Oakridge closed their doors at the end of 2022, but they did commit to fill all orders, so I stocked up on Game Changer brine/injection.
I was afraid of that. Remember reading that on here. All great products from what I've read and sad.

This is one time when a spare is better than a strike. Job well done Wayne.

Point for sure
