Sunday: Lime Spares

[Jim Lampe]

using the old red kettle with the smoker plate, smoked/cooked for about 4.5 hours @ about 240ºF.

apple & cherry wood for smoke... penzey's BBQ3000 & stubb's chile-lime rub for seasonings

home-made BBQ sauce on top and underside

served with our last garden fresh Bok Choy, onions and gaaaaaaalic with Yukon roasted taters

the lime flavour of the ribs were great.... butt they could have been cooked just a little longer.
Thanks for visiting!

4.5 hours @ about 2240ºF

at that temp, ribs usually take me 4.5 seconds.

I love the lime, there has to be a decent use for smoked lime. Might make an awesome margarita if used sparingly

Nice looking ribs!!

That's nice Jim! How did you get your grill up to 2200 degrees? That would be a heck of a pizza oven!!! Special Kingsford?

Looks great Jim!

[Gene Brownson]

Looks good to me, guess I'll have to take your word for it.

 

[Paul Kastner]

Very nice looking spares. I don't think the lime thing would be my deal.

 

[Mike Coffman]

Great looking spares Jim!

I like the lavish look of the lime lined ribs Mr Lampe!
Bet they were better than you're lettin' on!

To answer your question, and not bump my rib cook post:
Here in StL most all spare ribs are cut StL style, then folded in the package.
Hence the unrolling.
If they're whole slabs, the tips are inside the folds, and about a buck fifty less per lb. than ones sold as StL ribs, which do not include the tips.

Quality Jim! Bet i need to add some pressure @ my rib dealer.(after bobs post) Damn im lacking in this section. I can get some decent BB´s...Thats it. Great one Jim!

 

[Kim Drana]

Love the lime idea! The spares look awesome!

 

[Jim Lampe]

thanks everyone for your very kind words
however, the ribs WERE under cooked... too chewy
The lime juice adds temendous flavour to the meat... i love the lime taste and if you do also, try it.
Thanks again!

Awesome looking ribs Jim! I've done the lime thing when grilling salmon, but I never would have thought to put them on while smoking ribs
