St. Louis Style Spareribs - Kettle Style.

[gmc2003]

I know you folks are probably going to get sick of me posting, but I'm on vacation this week and the weather was just perfect today.

Mid 70s no need for the Koozie

A nice rack of ribs - 2.99/lb

Since the 22" was already outside. I fired her up once again. Side charcoal baskets with each with a small chunk of hickory.
The ribs have a rub down of Mo Casons pork rub

After a short spell in the hot box:

...and they're done:

another shot for good measure:

Thanks for taking a look.

Nice piece of work Chris, tho you always need the koozie! I still prefer the snake for spares and butts, never pop the top until I want to brush on a little SBR the last half hour. Get ya some nice healthy greens on that plate? RAY

You don't need to cook and get married with such skills

Thanks Vizel, both are very enjoyable and have been at them for over 35 years.

Appreciate it Jim. I work a 12hr shift also. So most summers I take every other Weds./Thurs. off in June, July, and August. That give me a week off every other week for 3 months. It's perfect for Q'ing season around here.

Thanks Nate, Vacation is always good. A rainy day off is still better then a day on the job.

They look great

Thanks Winter, How true, except I'm always being reminded of the honey-do list and how long it's gotton.

Appreciate it David. The ribs were tasty and pulled just before they hit the FOTB stage. When I gave them the bend test for doneness they bent perfectly. However if I had held them there for much longer they would have broken.

Thanks Justin, but does your beer pole have electricity? LO:

I always know when I see the beer pole it’s gunna be great.

Appreciate it Sven. There seems to be a few variations of the beer pole sprouting up recently. That means allot of post are gonna be great.

Thanks Ray, I like using the baskets, or SnS when doing cooks like this. It's easier and I don't get my hands dirty since I don't wear gloves. When I do chicken I already get prune fingers by washing them so much, I couldn't imagine what they'd look like if I had to wash them after playing dominoes with briquettes. I don't use my 4 probe therm anymore. I only use a insta read for the meat or I go by site and feel for certain cooks. Past experience has given me a pretty good idea on how hot the kettles are running and how long it takes to cook most things. So I only probe it near the end of the cook with the insta read. Other then that the lid stays on unless I'm taking a pic.

Absolutely not!! It may take a day or two for me to get a chance to respond, but your posts are always great. Food is amazing but I know your ulterior motive: you're just marketing the Beer Pole (patent pending) until you can ramp up production and make millions selling them Keep the threads coming buddy.
