Spare ribs

[WstTxSmokes]

Smoking some ribs today. 2 different ribs, bottom is primarily salt pepper and paprika, other has that and garlic, sugar and mustard powder, white pepper and lawrys. I like pepper so both are heavy on #16 course pepper.

Looking good! I'm not really a rib guy but cooked up a rack of St. Louis style earlier this week. Found them in the freezer, so thawed and cooked them up.

Right before wrapping. Mixed sugar vinegar and bbq sauce and lathered up. Almost done!

I’m not either. Haven’t smoked ribs in a able so wanted to give it another shot with a new process.

I can cook them to near perfection, but the cheapskate in me doesn't like paying for bones with a little meat on them, so I only buy them if it's a really good deal.

Welp… they tasted meh again. I’ve been smoking for ten years and can’t do a good rib for some reason. I’m not sure why people say brisket is the hardest, that’s been my best Q. Next round I’m overloading with sugar or something. Ha.

Looks good. I haven't done ribs in over a year.
Wife and I differ on the concept of ribs.
I prefer smoked and dry with a bite.
She likes them either simmered in tomato sauce or baked in sauerkraut for fall off the bone (FOTB).

Hmm
I don't like sugar frosted ribs.
Wife says she doesn't but I watched her put down ribs that were foiled in a brown sugar butter bath.
Maybe try the foiling in a brown sugar and butter bath in your next round?

If I am wanting ribs where the focus is on the smoke and pork flavor its S&P with a bit of Lawry's. Mix of hickory & apple/cherry wood. For savory-n-sweet things get more complex and layered with spices sugars etc finished with a thin glaze.

I really enjoy ribs when the mood strikes me.
