Rotisserie Baby Backs

[mr_whipple]

I said I was gonna, so here we are. Christmas Eve 2022. No shortage of guidance on the web for spinning ribs so off we go... large set of ribs, almost 5 lbs. Extra tender/meaty Smithfield. No kidding.. those are baby backs. Had to trim up a touch, I'll cook the extra piece in the morning for the puppies. Made a basic rib rub minus sugar to avoid burning. Maybe 20 degrees out and falling when this started.

Fixins' for a Maple Bourbon glaze based on a popular recipe.

Man must have fire to cook.

Rubbed up and ready for the heat.

Lid is going on.

Maybe 50 minutes later? I ran no thermometers, just kept an eye on the dome temp for reference. I let them run for about 15 minutes more, IT was 195ish which was higher than I was shooting for before hitting them with the glaze but in the end it all worked out.

Quick cook, but results were killer.

No plate shots. I was full from eating these off the cutting board. Tender and juicy. Hopefully the carrots and greens out of the microwave do their job!

Thanks for looking and Merry Christmas.

Nicely done, they look juicy as all heck. On my list of ta-do's when I finally get my roto spinning.

Point for sure

Great job! I'd say the microwave is too far away...better just stay for more ribs!

Great job Whipple on the cook and idea, as gmc2003 said "Points for sure"!

I'm in the missed it group also, but that week really was not good here at home.

But here now to say love the idea of spinning your ribs, and they look great

It was Christmas eve, so I'm sure you all were busy with other things. Me, I drank and spun ribs. I highly recommend trying this.

I missed it too . Those look fantastic . I did a half slab on the roto in my air fryer . Really tender . Been wanting to try it on the kettle .
Nice work .

Nice work. I have to give this a spin. Pun intended.

Ribs that pretty dont need a plate. That wouldnt make it that far. Like you I'd be eating right off the board.

Those do look good, and the cook time was quick.

This thread caught me sleeping as well. Man, those ribs look good!

 

[mr_whipple]

I can't wait to do it again, but I have other things I want to spin so.. someday. As to the time, I was guestimating (and certainly having cocktails) but all said and done they took no longer than 1.5 hours.

I missed it too, but sure like the way that cook turned out! I had thoughts of spinning a rack of spares but wasn't quite sure how to pull the trigger. Some creative thought process there, nice work! RAY
