Pecan Smoked Duroc Spare Ribs

A while back, I ordered 8 racks of spares from Creekstone Farms when their Duroc pork products were on sale. I took this rack out of the freezer and started thawing it a few days ago. I smoked these on the Performer and overall thought this was a pretty successful rib cook. Thanks for stopping by!


Photos of the uncooked ribs, plus action shots. This was my first time using Oakridge BBQ "Secret Weapon" rub and I ended up liking it a lot...good stuff. The fuel of choice was Rockwood lump charcoal with a few chunks of pecan wood for smoke.



Here are the plated pictures. I was happy with how the bark developed over the course of the cook, so I decided to serve the spares without sauce.
 
Beautiful ribs Jerome!
Glad to see you like products from Missouri (Rockwood and Oakridge) it's good for our economy. :)
 
Jerome, nice to see you using a Oakridge rub, I really like their products, if you order again, you might try their Dominator rub. We really like the mild cinnamon flavor along with other flavors in the rub, and I use it in conjunction with BRITU for a great flavor profile on ribs and butts. Their HDD rub gets used on chicken wings and legs, and when I make jerky, I make sure to add a generous amount to the cure mixture.
