BBQ 3001 ribs.

[Jason Noble]

Every week I scan the local grocery ads for deals on meat I can grill or smoke. This week I noticed bb ribs on sale for $2.99 a lb. So I headed on down to the store yesterday with the intentions of buying bb ribs when I noticed they were "enhanced". I'm not against smoking pumped ribs but I prefer natural. I keep scanning the meat case and find SL cut ribs for the same price so I went with those.

I seasoned the ribs with Penzey's BBQ 3001.

On to the WSM for three hours with peach wood and KBB.

After 3 hours they looked like this. I then wrapped them in foil with some apple cider vinegar, brown sugar and thinned BBQ sauce.

While the ribs continued to cook I marinaded some gus in EVOO, and Penzy's 4s and balsamic vinegar. I grilled the gus on the genesis.

Ribs cooked in foil for 1.5 hrs. Then removed and back on for 25 minutes with bbq sauce.

I like the BBQ 3001 rub it has a good overall flavor. Ribs were tender and delicious. Thanks for looking.

Looks great Jason. Sure agree with you on the pumped ribs. I shy away from pumped anything.

Very nice Jason, great looking cook! I use a lot of Penzeys spices, we go down to the store in Phoenix it's a trip just to walk around and look at and smell all the good stuff they have.

Great cook! I've been using 3001 on the last few slabs I've done also, pretty good stuff.

Love the color of those ribs! I used to grab whatever St. Louis spares the grocery store had, but after seeing a great result with natural ribs followed by a subpar result with injected, I now steer clear of the injected ribs too. Since Arkansas seems to be one of the few states without a Penzey's, it looks like I have some online shopping to do ... and will have to miss the aromas of the in-store experience.

Jason - nice job on those spares. I have been doing BBs lately - I think I will do a run on spares soon. Grilled asparagus is one of my favorite things to cook (and eat). Thanks for the inspiration...

Regards,

John

Ribs look great. Beautiful color and nice pullback.

I sure wish the Kroger and Tyson meat people would figure out that pork enhancement doesn't do it. I have to get my ribs or butts at a smaller store when on sale, or go to a wholesaler, SAMs, or Costco. It's ridiculous.

While the ribs look awesome (and I'd buy them too) that label creeps me out.

ALL NATURAL TASTE!
NATURAL CHOICE (R)
100% NATURAL ** (No artificial ingredients)

I'd imagine if they were pumped they'd have to disclose the % of brine...But that's some sketchy branding!

Not trolling at all - This is an awesome cook that I wish I could do. Looks great!
