Kettle Smoked Saint Louie Ribs

[Jim Lampe]

Never seen StL style ribs ever in this area until yesterday. Today I bought a package.
Rubbed this rack with Blues Hog

On the 26" OTG with Grove hardwood coal good shtuff

did all that in the confines of the pigvilion

wasn't keepin' track of time, so not sure how long these guys were on...

...butt i picked them up with tongs and they almost broke.... so i sauced'um up

about 30 minutes later, they were removed from the grill, rested then sliced

my plate with extra sauce on the side

Gary, Thank you for the sauce, It's Great! AND almost gone;D
Thank you all for stoppin', SoLong!!

Awesome looking ribs Jim!
Is Groves a local charcoal? I have never seen it before. Is it lump or briquettes?

 

[Tim McCann]

Good looking Jim! Can't believe there not readily available in the Tundra?

 

[NeilH]

Nice as always Jim.

You gotta nice rack there... No St Louis cut Spares in Chuck Eye Steak country huh. I see them around here from time to time but I prefer to cut my own from Spares 'cause I want to cook the trimmings along with dem bones for other dishes. Is the Blues Hog the competition winner it's made out to be? I've heard a lot about it but never used it.

 

[Jim Lampe]

thanks you guys
Mike, Grove Coal is local, from Cedar Grove Wisconsin, however, I guess it's actually made in Canada according to what you may want to read...

and Dwain, i always buy the whole spare cut with brisket and all then smoke'm all up... butt when i saw the StL cut, thought, whyKnot.
Blues Hog rub is EXCELLENT!
however, it is NOT available in this area, so I mail order for it. If fact, I used the last of mine so it's time to Re-order

 

[J Pichey]

Those are some good looking REEEBS. Well Done Sir!

 

[Kim Drana]

Ribs look good..doing a rack tomorrow...I hope they turn out as good as yours!

 

[Bob Mann]

That is just great Jim!

 

[Michael C.]

Great job on those spares!!!!! Nice killer smoke ring too!!!! Looks very tasty ribs!!!!! yum!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[John Solak]

Great looking ribs!!! I see St. Louis ribs every now and again but they are twice the price of regular spares. No thanks.

 

[Tony R]

Ribs look great Jim.

 

[Dave Russell]

That's some meaty bones, Jim. I used to trim myself all the time, but since we're not wild about the tips, we just get them at RD or last time, Costco. Nice pullback.

 

[Gary S]

thanks you guys

Never heard of it Jim. A lot of the Canadian stuff comes out of Quebec but there seems to be more coal around from the US and South America other than Maple Leaf.
Great Cook Mr. Lampe by the way!

 

[Mike Cosgrove]

I saw some blues hog at a store called "quetopia" yesterday, I'll have to get it next time.

 

[Gary H. NJ]

Most beautiful ribs ever! Looks great Jim. It's about time I made more of that sauce...

 

[Allen Fraley]

Very nice looking rib Jim. So is your smoke house

 

[Morgan C.]

Outstanding as always Jim!!!

 

[Rolf Jacobsen]

Mr. Lampe as always an awesome cook but also, thanks for the education. The photo of the ribs sauced on the smoker, should be a screen saver.

Picture perfect ribs, again. We have Grove charcoal at our local grocery store. Pretty good stuff.
