My celebration of ribs started Friday afternoon with spare ribs.

This rack was rubbed with Penzey's BBQ 3000 and their Galena Street, then sat over night in the coldbox.
At first, I thought my Tel-Tru therm got stuck, butt the entire 5 hour cook was between 240 and 250'F. Amazing! Talk about WSM temp control...Yeah, Maddie was happy about that too!

These ribs were slathered with Bandana's Southern Style Original Bar-B-Q Sauce

a favourite of Robert Correll.
Meanwhile (another one of my favourite words), Liz sautéed some Brussels with onions and I grilled the Yukons...

A nice crust of bark on the spares made these very tasty ribs.

That was Friday night's version of RibFest...
Saturday, RibFest continues at LampeLand!

...and Baby Backs were on the Weber 3-wheeler kettle grill with pecan and cherry wood for smoke.

This rack was seasoned using Blues Hog Rub. While those were smokin', I finally had a chance to finish some yard work, then sit back, open a cool Miller High Life brew and enjoy the view.

These ribs are cooked! Just under 5 hours... gonna slather 'em with Blues Hog Tennessee Red Sauce (another Robert Correll favourite, Thanks Bob!)

I'm tellin' ya guys, if you see this stuff in the stores, buy it up! It's GGGRRREAT!
Finished the plate with steamed asparagus, slaw and more grilled Yukons. Why more Yukons? Why not! Great 'tatoes that require nothing to enhance their flavour. (although, I like to smother 'em with Wisconsin butter and sour creme

Jim - when you do spuds on the grill do you par boil them first? If not, how long do you grill them?

By the way, love all your food shots. ShoulD start a Q'ing magazine!
 
Thank you much Chuck! No, I do not par boil anything. What I grill is done completely on the grill.
Yukons, no matter the size, take hardly any time to get perfect on the Weber. I like to go direct a few minutes on all "four sides" then put 'em off to the side until done. Yukons are great even if you over cook 'em. Obviously, i use Yukons as the house tater

George, Maddie's licking your name on the computer screen right now!
 
Jim - Another epic cook with epic pictures! I look forward to every new day that you have a post on this board.
 
Jim, I love the joy of life attitude you bring to your posts. Man am I jones'n for some ribs - your pics are awesome! I'll be doing a three-rack of baby backs next weekend. Sorry you're not a neighbor; I think we'd get along just fine. Best wishes to you buddy!
 
OK, OK, OK........I am sold!! Just placed an order for the Blues Hog rub, and both the Tennessee Red Sauce you recommended and their Original Sauce also. I also added 4 pound of apple wood. You should run an apprenticeship program for those of us that aspire to have meals like that!!
 
I completely on board with the Blues Hog sauces! I bet those Tennesee red ribs were amazing. That Ten' Red makes a perfect finishing sauce mixed into pulled pork. Wow! I kind of like the original and the Ten' Red mixed. They might be the best sauces I've bought. Very high quality.

Thanks to you and my neighbor Bob!
 
Jim, those ribs look absolutely delicious! Heck, everything you cook looks delicious. Here I am "eeting" Breyer's mint chocolate chip ice cream, and now I want ribs. By the way, you gave me a great idea with those brussel sprouts. I will have to try them sauteed with onions. Thanks Jim!
 
Still in CO Jim.
Did some b-backs on my son's barrel grill last evening, small storm passed through, and winds kicked to probably 50 mph, stoking the fire big time.
They were a bit overdone, but plenty edible, not near as good as your ribs looked, and I mean that as in 'past tense'
