So I've got a close friend who is from Mongolia, and he had some family visiting starting this weekend. He loves the pork ribs I've cooked - we often times have potluck dinners with several groups of friends, and I'm always tasked with smoking ribs. He asked me if I'd cook some ribs for him to serve to his family this weekend ... how could I say no? He said they were having lunch at around 11am on Sunday ... so ... here we go......
Up at 3am to start the Yoder YS640S ... I let it come up to it's default temperature of 350F before turning it down to 275F.
At 4am I put three racks of St. Louis ribs on. I seasoned them on Saturday with Meat Church's "Honey Hog Bacon" rub, and let them marinate overnight.
At 8am I checked on them, rotated them, and applied a light coat of bbq sauce. (I wouldn't have sauced them myself, but was asked to..)
At around 10:30 they passed my "lift test" where I lifted one side with tongs, and the meat was limp, and very pliable.
I wrapped them in pink paper, loaded them into a heated cooler, and delivered them to my friends house. He said his family mowed through them, and loved them. That's one thing I love about BBQ - when other people express their joy in what I've cooked, it makes getting up at early hours completely worth it.
