'Bone' Appétit!

[Jim Lampe]

Spare Ribs, ala Aaron Franklin, from his YouTube Series...
rub made with only pepper, salt, chili/onion/garlic powders, and for colour, paprika

using a Weber 26" One Touch kettle as a smoker, apple and hickory wood for smoke

after two hours at a remarkable steady temp of 275ºF, I did spritz, lightly sauce then foil the rack

this photo (▲ above ▲) taken after a two hour foil, the rack broke. You see ▲ one bone missing?
also made Aaron's simple BBQ sauce (the same Robert made in his post). Used that sauce to glaze the ribs.

the sauce was applied warm to the ribs...
made it Friday - fridged it, but it's the kinda sauce you need to heat to use... does that make sense?

anyway, removed the rack about 30 minutes before we ate them up

and before we ate them up, we plated them kinda neat and all with taters, green beans, onions and shrooms.

oh yeah, some corn too. Extra sauce on the side...

if these weren't the best ribs I've ever made, they are certainly up there with the best ribs I've ever made.
know what I mean?
The seasoning (rub) is too damn simple and the sauce was so too cool to make...
Try this guys' stuff, it's Great!
