Well I made my first attempt at ribs. I used the 3-2-1 method. I am pretty happy with the results, they were not fall off the bone, a little tug to remove the meat. My other half liked them but they were a little spicy for her taste. I even cut down on the cayenne in the rub.
The package, $1.58 lb at Walmart, they were frozen, I wasn't sure what to expect since I never bought them this way....
Trimmed, ready for rub...
Rubbed, ready for the smoker...
The trimmings, what the heck do I do with all this stuff?
Trimmings I added the same rub from the ribs, the bigger pieces I smoked for about an hour then cooked all them together in a pan with apple juice for the rest of the smoke. I left some fatty pieces in for the 'official taster'....
Official taster
Of course it started raining...
Smoker loaded with the ribs and large trimmings on the top, smaller trimmings are in a foil pan below...
I think this is after the first 3 hours, ready for the foil...
