Today's smoke, ribs and Dutch's Wicked Baked Beans

[firebaugh]

I picked up a rack of loin ribs earlier this week and thanks to SMF, I learned how easy it was to cut them St. Louis style. Last night I made up a batch of KCBS rub from Raichlen's Sauces, Rubs & Marinades book and let that sit on the ribs overnight. While they were on the smoker I made a batch of Memphis style sauce also from the same book. The sauce wasn't necessary but I like to make it for the kids and for putting on sandwiches.

The ribs tasted good but I think they were a little over cooked. I went be the 3-2-1 method but I'll need to adjust some now that I'm using the MES. I put the loin trimmings in the beans and they came out great. My wife said I should leave out the pineapple next time.

Getting better with the q-view but I missed a pic of the cut ribs.

Great loooking smoke you have going there. What is in the pot on the stove, bbq sauce?

I have a few MES's and have played around with ribs on them. I also haven't perfected them in a MES, but each time they get better. Keep on experimenting !!!

Everyone in my family told me not to add the pineapple but after eating them they ALL told me they couldn't imagine the recipe without them!

Looks good!! And yes sneak that pineapple in those beans!

I sure am, I bought Jeff's rub and sauce recipes.

I bought crushed pineapple hoping it would disappear into the beans.

And my wife wants larger chunks than called for.

Where can I find a receipt for your kcbs rub and bbq sauce? Im new here and wondered if that was a secret or if you had it posted somewhere.

firebaugh, I use crushed pineapple in my beans quite often and happened upon it by accident. I was at the grocery store and grabbed the crushed by mistake and didn't realize it until I got home and opened the cans up (oops-to late to take back and exchange now). When folks ask about the pineapple taste when I use crushed, I just tell 'em that it's my mystery ingredient.
