Good looking ribs Mike...
Can I ask what's in the water pan? Temp probe?

 

[Bill Schultz]

Well laid out cook Mike, why did you not like them, they look wonderful?

 

[Mike Holt]

yes temp probe from my maverick

 

[Paul Kastner]

great color on the baby backs.

 

[Mike Coffman]

Ribs look great Mike, but why the meat probe in the water?

 

[Sparky Rowe]

those sure look good. nice bone cook partner.

 

[Mike Holt]

meat probe in the water as i was moving them around and would just put it in there instead of leaving it on the grate lol after pics taken they went back into the meat

You said "good , but not excellent"... What would have made them excellent?

 

[Bill - Bigbill]

You said "good , but not excellent"... What would have made them excellent?

Excellent would mean they were shipped to my house!!!

 

[James Lake]

Ribs look darn good, I can't wait for your next smoke either.

 

[John Solak]

They look real good, sorry they didn't turn out like you wanted, what rub did you use?

 

[Rolf Jacobsen]

Mike your butcher is holding some great looking ribs there and I'd say you did right by them.

 

[Bill]

not sure how that isn't excellent. looks awesome to me.

 

[Mike Holt]

the girlfriend loved em, I used "memphis dust" rub from amazing ribs as my rub, I think its my finishing sauce that I am iffy about going to have to try something else on my next smoke.

I'm lucky I have such a great butcher nearby, and he has decent prices..

Having my parents and the girlfriends parents over for dinner this weekend when asked what they wanted, they all wanted ribs, so will be giving ribs another try sunday

any suggestions on side dishes other than my slow cooker scratch baked beans..

 

[Bob Mann]

They look great Mike!

 

[Gregory R]

Look good to me Mike!!!

 

[Jim Lampe]

...using the paper clip trick...

in all the years I've been cookin' outside, never seen (nor heard of) this:



...but whatever works.... Thought the ribs looked GREAT!

 

[Karl Repsher]

Excellent looking ribs, they look delish, we don't have ribs here so for me they would be perfect.


My go to side are

Ranch BBQ chicken pasta salad,

Egg salad,

Mashed garlic red taters w/ skins on.

If you're interested in any of the recipes I'll post them.
