Last Ribs for the Year

[Rich Dahl]

We’ve been doing high heat ribs the last three or four times. It was a nice fall Sunday and I decided to do my last rack of ribs in the freezer low and slow. Won’t be getting any more ribs until after January, because Barb needs the freezer space for holiday stuff.
It was a rack of St. Louis ribs which I spread my homemade rib rub on and smoked over apple chunks at 215- 225.
Smoked for 2 1/2 hours then foiled with some apple juice for 1 ½ hours.
Out of the foil and back on the WSM with a coating of #5 sauce for 30 minutes.

One hour in

#5 setting up

Done

Made some beans with the apple pie filling and root beer.
Barb made some raisin Coleslaw.
These we’re my best ribs yet, moist and tender and needing just a little pull to get off the bone.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and a great week coming up.

Looks Fab Rich, I've done spare ribs in the kettle lately that looked vey similar to yours it sures looks like an awesome dinner!

Just a a question if I may, on your second picture it looks like your WSM is siting on some homemade cart or platform? dDo you mind detailing your setup or showing us a pic of your cart? Looks like a good way to prop up your rig and I love anything to do with DIY and stuff like that so I'd be curious to know more about it, cheers. Jules

Yes I did, it makes it easier to get the can out especially if it's full of hot coals. Just a couple of all metal cabinet pulls.

Awesome ribs! I love that low and slow cooking!

 

[Bob Ivey]

Rich, that is one awesome meal there. The sides sound wonderful also. Sounds like you may need a bigger freezer.

 

[Alber AL]

Those ribs look perfect. They have all the same size, the perfect glaze.

An now that there are no rib, what do you have in mind?

Already have two good sized stand up freezers in the garage along with a refrigerator with a freezer in the garage and a big fridge in the house. With what's in those freezers (except for ribs) we won't add anything until January and we'll still have a lot of good eats that would takes us at least into March or April. My problem is I can't pass up a good sale.
