Spare Ribs

[RickNessly]

So...I used to make ribs all the time, but lately have been experimenting with other stuff...mainly sous vide and beef ribs and/or chicken thighs and prime rib over the holiday's.

So, tonight my family asked me to make some ribs "like I used to".

240 degrees, Germantown Commissary rub, 4 hours uncovered, 2 hours wrapped. Rest for 30min and then mop with honey. Honey counters the heat and makes the color an amazing reddish/black/brown.

No need for sauce.

I forgot how much I still love ribs.

I still prefer spares to backs all day long...they always turn out.

No before and after's...just after's...

Nice job, they looked to be cooked perfect

6 hours total, but the smoker was having trouble getting to 240...windy, winter MN...I usually get them done in about 4-5 hours.

They look awesome and probably tasted even better.

I use honey as well but I use it and squeeze butter when I foil them may have to try it after and compare

I put some butter and apple juice in when I foil them...so, similar to what you're doing. I've never tried the butter/brown sugar in the foil...I've been told that's awesome as well.

Perfection! Did not know the Commissary made their own rub. I have eaten at their place in Germantown, TN many times. Ribs, Hot tamales and homemade pies. It is as good as it gets in the Memphis area in my opinion.

It's funny because the rub has a bit of a unique smell that reminds me of the place when you get the ribs going in the smoker...
