Brother in law visiting

[M D Baldwin]

My brother in law is here for a week. He is a kind of "Grizzley Adams" guy from NW Missouri. He brought some of his venison jerky-WOW. His smoker is(I kid you not) an ols Philco refridgerator that he converted. It does some really good BBQ.
Today I am letting him smoke some ribs on my WSM. Believe me, THAT is trust, letting someone use YOUR smoker. They look good.

M D-

I had an in law of the parental type that wanted to "help" my with my smoke on mother's day. By help I mean tell me what to do. He's pretty good at that. I politely said go grab a beer and step away from the WSM.

I am under a vow of silence as far as his recipe and rub. Just let me say it was an unique combo in spice done on mesquite. He used spare ribs and the temp was 220 for about 5 hours. Near the end he kicked it up to 260.
They were pretty darned good ribs.
