Saturday Baby Backs

[Ed M.]

My wife wanted some ribs so we picked up a small rack of baby backs. Quartered up the rack and gave it some seasonings.

Put the pieces on the WSM. Used some Grove lump charcoal and a bit of hickory and apple wood for some smoke. The smoker ran around 275 for most of the cook. Here are a few action shots.

After 2 hours, I started basting the ribs with a garlic and herb butter every half hour.

After about 4.5 hours or so, and quite a few barley pops they seemed to be done, so, in the house they went.

Tore up a few bones and plated with some packaged rice in a mushroom sauce and a salad.

All done!

It was a very good meal. Glad the wife came up with the idea. We both agreed that these were some of the best ribs we have made to date. Love the ease of using the WSM!

Thanks of looking.

I wanted to use the WSM, but with the snowy, rainy, crappy weather just fired up the kettle.
