Ribs: My Personal Best


 

Cee El

TVWBB Super Fan
These were Smithfield Extra Tender Pork Spares that were marked down to $5.52. I trimmed them STL style and applied mustard and rub, wrapped them and placed in the fridge for 16 hours. I got the Performer going at 300*, applied another rub, and on they went. I used Pecan chips for smoke.
Here they are going on:

This was after 2 hours:

3 hours:

I wrapped them with butter, brown sugar, honey, and Texas Pete, then poured maybe a cup of apple juice in the pouch. I left them for over two hours this way (my Dad came by), unwrapped them and sauced them with some Rufus Teague Honey and placed them back on for 30 minutes. They were perfect:

Moist, tender, and the level of smoke was just right. All they needed were some sides and I was good to go! Thanks for looking!
 
Nice job on the Ribs Cee El. Please pass the plate this way. We don't need a WSM to cook ribs do we! Performers are so versatile.............I would cook ribs on my WSM if I had one.

Great cook!

No we don't, Pat. I used the setup from a Pitmaster X YouTube video for these ribs, and it will probably be what I use from here on out. I sold my WSM 2 months ago to a really nice guy who was new to smoking and a month after getting a Performer, and I much prefer the Performer! Thanks.
 
Thoes look really good! It's fun to see everyone's set up, whether is a Performer, WSM, etc, and see people succeed cooking just about anything on anyone of them.
