We've been craving ribs for a while so today was a perfect day to get after it.
Mustard and homemade rub on two racks of St. Louis Spares.

Almost broke out the big WSM but with the wind decided to do them on the kettle.

Ribs on with racks for a long cook.

I can't put into words how much I love fiddling with the vents and hovering over the grill to get the perfect temp. I just love cooking on weber equipment.

At three hours turned the ribs around and upside down. Fully intended to spray with apple juice at this point. But I did not properly pre trip my equipment and my little 99 cent spray bottle gave up the ghost.

At the five and a half hour mark I put some sauce on the ribs. We are streaky on sauces but our go to sauce for the last couple of months has been from page 152 from Weber's New Real Grilling. Sauce was prepared excellently by my beautiful wife and cooking partner Kim. Also welcome to Daylight Savings! Already under the halogens.

After about 20 minutes, ready to pull.

Plated with Kim's potato salad, Bush's grilling beans and my daughter's cornbread.

The ribs were wonderful. And Kim's potato salad is divine. It was a great meal. Thanks for looking and have a great week everyone!
 
I love St. Louis ribs. Used to avoid them, now it's my goto. You nailed it! Like that rib rack, who makes it?

Chuck I got those racks so long ago I can't remember who makes them. I'm thinking I got them at Lowes or Home Depot. It's actually two racks lined up together to accommodate the length of the ribs. And the St. Louie's are so flavorful. They are a great alternative to back ribs.

Nice ribs and the sides look great too! It's great when the family contributes to the cook so much more fun that way.
