Spares!

[c14james35]

Bought two racks of spares today. Usually I do baby backs I've only smoked spares once didn't turn out great. I didnt trim them last time, this time I trimmed them St.Louis Style.

Whipped up a new batch of Jeff's original rub and tomorrow I will be making a new batch of Jeff's BBQ sauce my favorite sauce I've ever had i cant stand store bought after having it. I will have to tone down the cayenne though the old lady doesn't like that much heat. Here they are trimmed cut down to 1/2 racks and rubbed with Jeff's Rub

I was thinking making carnitas or smoked pork tacos would be a good use for the skirt and other trimmings. Does anyone have a good seasoning or marinade for that?

Looks like a great start!

I just use Tone's taco seasoning.

Getting a late start after a trip to costco. Just heating the smoker up now and the snow is starting to fall. 60 degrees last week winter weather advisory this week for lake effect snow. I will be smoking with hickory and maybe cherry. Thinking about running the smoker at 250 to get them done alittle faster.
