Now ready for the sauce

Wife made some potato salad and Here is your plate

Thanks some much for looking

Not bad for first try.

Love the bark on the last pic.

 

[Michael C.]

Yes, the bark on the ribs looks great! Great results on your 1st try. You nailed it, for sure!!!!

 

[John Solak]

Very nice!

 

[John Behrendt]

Those look great! Nice first attempt, although looking at those tells me it wasn't an attempt, but a total success.

 

[Sean H]

If that is your first try, I foresee a lot of good food in your future.

Good looking ribs!

 

[Chris E]

Delicious looking slabs there. How'd they taste?

 

[Keith Kenney]

Thank you all for the nice comments.
The ribs where very good but I think they where over cooked. fall of the bone cooked and moist. Not the bite and leave teeth marks that I was looking for. Family liked them so i guess it was all good.

Im a newbee and i love how your first try at ribs seemed awsome,the pic are great but i have one question.You rubbed the ribs and placed 3 slabs on the smoker, but how long were they on (hours) before you took off and sauced. I noticed many cooks here dont always let us know the lenth of the cook time. I thought somewhere that normal is 2-3 hours??

Thanks for the compliment. The rub was put on the night before and put in the frige. then they where on the smoker for about 5 hours and temp was betwwen 225 and 260 before I sauced them. These where Spare ribs so they take longer then Babybacks. But from what I have read on here they are done when they are done. Use a toothpick to poke the meat if it goes threw like butter they are done. If there is resistants they need to cook longer. I hope this helps. Also welcome to the fun Jerry
