My wife said Excellent!!

[Bob Correll]

My wonderful wife is always very honest with her opinion of my cooking, but also doesn't want to hurt my feelings.
Her ratings are:
"It was okay" (barely fit for the dog)
"It was good" (it was edible, and tasted okay)
"It was really good" (it was really pretty darn good)
"Excellent" (excellent)

So I was thrilled with her excellent rating of Sunday's spare ribs!

Cut in half and rubbed with a 50/50 mix of Weber's Classic BBQ, and Penzey's Northwoods.
Hickory for smoke:

Watching our dogwood tree turn red:

On with some Normal Potatoes (no fancy smancy cuttings)

Half slab with with Bandana's Sweet & Smoky for my wife, and the other half, plus tips, with Blues Hog sauce for son and I:

Kicked back on the deck to have one more adult beverage and unwind from such a labor intensive cook (plus I'd been nibbling on some tips

)

Found mostly small ribbies & tips left for my plate, but they know I love the tips:

I cooked these at 275/300 for about 3 hrs., indirect on the kettle.
Decided to foil after 2 hrs. cook time (seldom do this).
My apple juice was frozen, so I added a bit of Coca Cola, and uncovered after 40 mins.

They tasted pretty darn good to me too, and got an 'Awesome" from our son.

Many thanks for viewing!

Outstanding. I was tooling around your neck of the woods today. Looks like a perfect meal.

 

[Bob Correll]

Thanks everyone!

Paul,
I get Blues Hog at Sappington Farmer's Market, it's on a rack at the back end of their meat cases.
ST Louis Home Fires normally carries it too, and they also have Weber grills, smoke woods, several rubs, and other bbq items.
It may be best to call ahead at both places to be sure it's in stock.

Nice ribs, sides and kilt
