Had to Have Some Ribs

[Rich Dahl]

Been awhile since we had any ribs. Since the fire restrictions starting in May I haven’t been able to use the performer and do Mr. Lampe’s hi heat Baby Backs,

So I decided to do a rack of St. Louis Spares on the Camp Chef.

Used this method

I must admit these were really good and having nothing but time it was a fun cook and the CC was spot on at 275 for the whole cook.

Made up some # 5 sauce for the ribs and used my own homemade rub.

Barb made a Southern style potato salad and we called it good.

Some pictures of the cook.

That sure smells good Dad!












Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

WOW, that looks incredible! My favorite is the longingful look your buddy gives you. They practice that when we’re away

Barb, great looking potato salad. Love the bacon touch.

Rich, the ribs look delicious. I can't make out the rub recipe. Is it posted on here somewhere?

Here you go Joan. I'm going to post it in recipes also.
I made this simple recipe up about twenty years ago because back in the day all the commercial rubs I tried would just over power the taste of the pork or were so spicy your taste buds went on strike. Been using it ever since and for our tastes haven't found anything better for us.
If your looking for an OMG experience this isn't it but if you want something that will enhance the flavor of the pork IMHO it works very well.

A very simple rub that doesn’t over power the taste of the pork

Rich’s Simple Baby Back Rub

​

¾ cup packed golden brown sugar

¼ cup Paprika (I use two Tbs. of regular and 2Tbs. of smoked)

2 ½ TBLS Course salt

2 ½ TBLS Ground black pepper

1 TBLS Onion powder

½ tsp Cayenne pepper

Great looking cook Rick and Barb, I hope you enjoyed the day together also!

 

[James J]

Nicely done!

Ribs look great Rich, and Barbs salad is spot on also.

 

[Joan]

Rich, thanks so much. Copied and printed out.

 

[Kelly C]

Looks delicious! Thanks for sharing.

 

[Michael C.]

Those ribs looks great!!!!! Nice job!!!

 

[Rich Dahl]

Thanks to all of you for your nice comments. It's been a rough couple of months but things are better now and everything is starting to settle down thanks to Barbs hard work.
Now it's payback time for me to Barb... Just don't call when I'm doing laundry or vacuuming as I probably wont here the phone ring.

looks delicious - one of the most fun TEAMS to follow here!
