I want my baby back.....

[gadgetman53]

We are having a meal at work tomorrow. Each person in our group decided what kind of ribs they wanted and how much and chipped in for the cost. A coworker went to Sam's Club and picked up 15 total racks (spare/baby backs) of ribs. Each pack of 3 racks of ribs was distributed to one of 5 cooks. I got to cook some baby backs.

Here's some q-view:

Cleaned and ready for rub.

Rub ingredients and rubbed:

Water/rum/JD Honey mix to soak wood chips:

MES 30 with chips:

After 2 hours in smoker:

After 2 more hours foiled and grilled for 10 with some sauce mopped on:

Wish I hadn't cooked these so long in second stage. They are almost too tender (fall off the bone). I can't wait to try some. Off to bed. Up early to heat in oven and wrap in towels and put in cooler.


Enjoy the q-view,

There may be some left overs, but not from your pile I bet!  Nicely done.

Don't mean to sound dumb but what do you mean by grilled for 10?

You put them on a BBQ for 10 mins?

That is exactly what I did. The bones were already falling out. I was afraid to smoke them another hour. So I put them on the gas grill and mopped some BBQ sauce on 'em.

Thanks.

SO how long and at what temp?

At what point did you foil them?

I have a MES 30 as well and I am going to try this tommorrow

Had my MES30 set to 250. Put the rubbed ribs meat up to smoke for 2 hours. Then took them out and put them in foil. Put the foiled ribs meat down in smoker (didn't add any smoke during this phase). They were done when I took them out of the foil, but I wanted to char them up a bit and mop them with some BBQ sauce, so I put them on the grill. This method is called 2-2-1 (2 hours in smoke-2hours foiled-1 hour in smoke and mop sauce (if desired).

If I did this again, if probably do 2.5-1.5-1.

For spares you want to start off 3-2-1 as they are bigger.


I might also lower the temp to 230 next time.


Hope this helps,
