July 4th Ribs

[hyyal]

Hi all!!

I haven't posted in a while...not due to lack of smoking, but more to not having pics to post (laziness happens). 

We were invited to a July 4th party at a neighbors house.  My wife had bought a nice rack of spares that were on sale ($1.99/LB - I told her that she should have bought more!) and suggested that I smoke 'em and we'd bring them with us.  Since it wasn't our party for once, I wasn't going nuts with brisket & ribs & whatever else I found to smoke!

Nicely rubbed with oil & dry rub.

I didn't take pics during the smoke (laziness again!) But here are a couple after they were finished.

These were done using the 3-2-1 method at 225 - 240*.  I used apple and a little bit of hickory for smoke.  Not a great smoke ring in the pics, but it was there.  The skirt had more of a ring than the ribs.  Hmmmmm.....

After the 3-2 part, I let the bark firm up for about a 1/2 hour then started glazing with "3rd Helpin' Q-Sauce". 

Took the ribs, homemade slaw and homemade banana puddin'.  I managed to get A rib.  They were gone quickly!

Looks good. And when you only get 1 rib that tells you how they were.
