I love hockey - even with the post season lasting an eternity. Being a transplanted Chicagoan, we'll keep the complaining down, at least for the next couple of days, as the Hawks containing on their quest. It was also the first weekend of summer - With game 6 on Saturday, I thought a good way to kick off the summer would be with some baby backs and the game.

Started out with a couple of nice slabs - whipped up some rub, consisting of dried Chile de Arbol, Guajillo, Ancho and Morita peppers, black pepper, garlic, onion, a little celery salt, and dash of cumin. no salt.

Threw the ribs on, and got busy on the sauce. We make a spicy sweet sauce. Nothing too fancy, we spice with the same chilies as the rub, and use coconut sugar for sweetener

It was the first weekend of summer, so I thought I'd bust out the tripod and do some beans. We had done a belly the previous week, so I had some nice trimmings to toss in.

I like to let the beans cook for about 5 hours, so they need to start out a little soupy. I looked for a Rolling Rock, but I didn't have any in stock - So went with the house beer.

These guys are just about there - With little time to spare, (yuk, yuk) as the game was about to start....

I've been slacking with the plated shots of late- So here's 2 - Some bones, the beans, and Doris' Parker House rolls. Hawks win! Happy Solstice everyone!​
 
Great job! Question... Heat source for the beans? Is the picture the actual distance from the heat for the entire cook? How much fuel did it take for the 5 hours?
 
Peter those ribs look amazing!! Love your Dutch oven set up...I may have to use that idea...I've been tuning up the DO's for a camping trip this weekend!

Great food, pics and your in a great neck of the woods!
 
Peter: First off, let me congratulate your Blackhawks on winning the Stanley Cup (sadly, I'm a Bruins fan). That being said, I give you even bigger congratulations on that beauty of a meal you cooked!
