Neeley's ribs results

I found a recipe for Neeley's rub and sauce this week and figured Id give it a shot. The results were actually very good.

Two racks took 6 hours exactly with a few issues along the way. It poured last night and no sooner did I get the meat on the smoker and it started pouring again. Thinking ahead for once I zip tied a golf umbrella to the deck railing for a nice canopy over the WSM. (a very classy move and I have pictures to prove it...) Worked like a charm. All was well at 226 then I went and threw in one more piece of smoke wood...The temp dropped and I had a devil of a time getting it back up to temp.

The rub was very nice giving an excellent bark. I really appreciated the lack of salt in the rub since the ribs didnt have the usual "hammy" taste. Also, the sauce was very good as well. I really have no complaints at all about this cook and it was one of my best to date. The ribs were done perfectly. Somewhere in my reading this week I saw someone temping the ribs to 180 and I tried this. Granted with ribs its difficult but I can honestly say the difference was very apparent.

For the first time in a while I feel like Im making progress.

Now if I can only get my brisket not to come out as dry as dust Id be thrilled.

Here's a few pics...

Looks like everything turned out great despite the weather. Bet that umbrella smells good. Next time you use it while golfing, you'll probably get an overwelming urge for BBQ.

Hehe - yah, I've been there before. Classy indeed:

I worked three different types of clamps *and* zip-ties into that sucker. :-)
 
Man...now that is sweet. You definately have me beat by a mile. What would have made that classic is to have stuck a glove on the end where the umbrella meets the arm. It looks awsome.

Good idea with the thermo on the shaft...I will have to remember that since mine went flying out of the bowls in the wind.
 
Nice job Jim, ribs look great! Love the shot of the kids munching on the ribs, my kids are the same way...they love em.
 
Jim - looks really good from here! That full rack pic looks great. Especially liked the pics of those cute little "rib munchers"! I'll have to give Neeley's recipe a shot.
