Second time doing these and wont be the last. Got this method from mossymo mossymo . I used to do Jim Lampe's kettle 400ºF Baby Back Ribs which are good but like this way better now. Cut ribs up and seasoned with Atkins BBQ rub. Let sit in fridge for few hours. Got some potato salad going. Everyone seems to love mine.

In to the kettle for 40 minutes.

Got some okra going. I know some say don't like okra but think maybe just not had it cook right. That deep fried stuff is not the way to do it. I have better luck with the frozen pre-breaded stuff than breading my own. Okra is best fried slow about 280 - 300 degrees. Slowly pour oil into cast iron pan until it just touches the edge of pan. Bring up to 325 and add frozen okra. Now keep temp no hotter than 300 turning every so often. Will take about 30 minutes. Get it nice and crispy. Season as soon as it comes out of pan. Cooked this way it will still be crispy the next day.

At the 40 minute mark temp ribs. They were 185. Like to get over 200. Another 7 minutes and ready. Sauced them and returned to grill for 5 minutes. Man are these good.

Plated. Left over ribs are really good right out of fridge cold.

Nicely done Brian. I've seen that method before, but never tried it. Looks real good.

Point for sure

Love grilled ribs and use mostly country style, hit or miss on tenderness sometimes with baby backs, yours look great
 
Looks great Brian, Will have try this if I am in a time crunch. Never had okra before....not even sure if I can get it here?
 
These are going to be in a regular rotation now. I really like them. Did have some smoke and even some smoke ring. I normal dont sauce to much but it really nice on these. I got to say just eating them cold out of the fridge where really good!

Wow! Didn’t know you could do ribs this way. Cool beans! Great post and write up!

Thanks Cliff. I may end up doing these more than smoking now.
 
Those looks tasty Brian! I use to do hot and fast ribs often, seeing these I might have to do them again soon.

Was this a rack of baby backs? I want to try them. I've always done the 2-2-1 method for baby backs.
 
Dang son! A plate to make this Mississippi boy cry. Ribs, tater salad, a slice of onion, and fried okra. Dont get no better than that!!!

Jim
 
Great job Brian! I remember when mossymo mossymo did them, I've wanted to try them since then... keep forgetting! That tater salad looks awesome!
