Saturday Baby Backs...

[NeilH]

Went by Sams on the way home from work yesterday to pick up some slabs of baby backs. I've been looking for some pull as opposed to the mushy fall-off the bone texture. I havent had the IBP brand before but that was all they had and they turned out great. (Thanks to another good resource on here... Mike Leiter for a few tips that I havent tried yet)

Before:

Black eyed peas and cabbage standing close-by.

I just wish I had the chance to cook more than one day a week. The only thing i would change!!!

 

[Sparky Rowe]

Well Jim, my wife doesn't like sauce or seasoning so I just dusted with some light garlic powder and after the foil I coated my half with Tiger Sauce. I had to order the sauce in the mail since its not available around here and that stuff is good I have to admit.

Thanks for all of your help and kind words!! This stuff is addictive.

Meaty bones mate. Im a fan of the simple ribs myself,Emilie is a more heavy rub kinda girl. Love the color of your ribs.

Thanks. I'm liking the less sauce/seasoning approach myself. If I could turn them out like this each time this is all I'd eat I'm afraid.

Those are some nice looking ribs Neil!

 

[Bob Mann]

Looks great Neil!

 

[NeilH]

Thanks Bob and everyone.

 

[Bob Correll]

Fine looking meal Neil!
It's been too long since I've had black-eyed peas.

Neil, when it comes to seasonings and sauce for backribs, I can identify with your dilemma. If down at my parents and sister's place in Mississippi, she doesn't like seasoning at all....while most everyone else likes a fairly heavy hand for rub and sauce. Anyhow, from here it looks like you did a fantastic job nailing doneness and tenderness.

Great color, especially from not having any rub or sauce! What kind of wood did you smoke with and how much?

Kudos,
Dave

Dave I used three pieces of cherry wood nestled in the wicked good lump. Very little fuel was used in the cook.
