Birthday Baby Backs, Grilled Beans and Basil Parmesan Corn

We had a birthday dinner on Saturday for my son and grandson. Decided on baby backs, Campfire Beans, and first of the season corn on the cob. First time I've seen fresh corn in the husks this year. Also did some ABT's to tide everyone over while the ribs finished up. I've posted the Campfire beans a few times so didn't bother with any action shots of that. Here we go.

Earlier in the day I put the ABT's together.



Did a 3, 1, 1/2 cook on the ribs this time. Got the ribs rubbed down with Simply Marvelous Cherry Rub and got them on the WSM at 250. Was out of cherry wood so used pecan for the smoke. Let them run 3 hours untouched.



While the ribs were doing there thing I got the ABT's going on my little WSM. Let them go for about an hour and a half.



We chowed down on these when done.



Popped the lid after 3 hours.



Sauced the racks with Ancho Cherry Sauce and wrapped in two layers of foil.



Foiled ribs on for another hour. In addition to the sauce, also added more rub, brown sugar and honey.



After another hour removed the foil and back on the smoker for 30-35 minutes so the sauce would set.



I'd used my Santa Maria Mod for the beans earlier so I used the remaining coals to roast the corn. This was slathered with Basil-Parmesan Butter. (Recipe is featured in Weber's new book, Weber's Greatest Hits)



Ribs done.

Plated corn.



The Campfire Beans.



Plated with some of the bread I'd done earlier in the day.



Had a great time with the family and doing this cook. Everything came out really well and we all had a great time. Thanks for looking.

Wow! You can come up and cook for my birthday! Great looking meal. That shot of the ABT's on the grill is money!
 
Cliff, you did it again out of the ball park. Everything looks fantastic and I sure do like those ABT's. I'm sure with great food and family a awesome time was had by all.
 
Still showing us those great skills you posses. Beautiful meal Cliff. We now have corn on the bone here too and a couple stores had them 10 for a buck. Spent last week making our menu around the corn, love the stuff.
 
Tantalizing as always Cliff! Love the ribs and beans. No corn here yet. That was a beautiful cook. Outstanding job!
