Pre-Canadian Thanksgiving Ribs

For all of you Canadians out there, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving weekend!

So, before we filled up on turkey and ham for the last two days, I made a couple of back ribs on the WSM on Saturday for the GF and myself. No kids on Saturday!! WHEEEEE!!

Anyway, here they are all rubbed up with Harry Soo's butt rub recipe, that I had a whole lot left over:

And onto the WSM with apple and a couple of chuncks of pecan for this one:

Didn't get any shots before foiling, as I had to run out for a bit. But I had issues with getting the temp up on this cook as well. Ran consistent at about 240F the whole time, but I could not get it to go any higher. All vents open as well. It was odd. Have never had an issue getting things up to temp. At any rate, it did run consistent, which was good. Just could have been a bit hotter.

Was foiled with some butter, orange juice, beer and a bit of Franks Red Hot!

And here are a couple of finished pics:

Not the clearest, but you get the idea.

I have to say that these were the best ribs I have done to date! GF even said they were best she has ever had. Not dried out, and pulled clean off the bone as well. But a great pull. Just the right amount so that they were not hard to get off, but not too easy as well. Taste was fantastic and moist and tender as well. Best cook on my WSM yet!

Thanks for looking all.
 
Beautiful Ribs Derek!!
we have the same pfaltzgraff design plates and bowls and all... but we ain't got ribs like that...

think if I set out an empty plate, you could flop on a few full bones...??? :D

well , derek...it looks like your ribs turned out really well. Just curious if you had water in the pan , because I know with my WSM if I have water in there ,there is no way on gods green earth that temp is going much higher than 250. Still and all , it sounds like you had a good cook.
 
Thanks all!

Frank H - I did use water. I have used water on all of my cooks and have not had any issues getting to 300F, or more, at times. So I am not sure what happened on this one. I may get rid of the water for thr next cook and see what happens.
