Checked my little Black Book of smokes and was shocked to learn that I hadn't smoked any Ribs for 5 months!! :o How does one go 5 months without some good old ribs? Found some laying around the freezer so decided to smoke some Naked ribs.
Used the 3-2-1 Method that I learned on this forum ... Why reinvent the wheel? Rubbed the ribs with Fagundes Seasoning. Ready to go into the 225ºF preheated OBS.

After 3 hours of Hickory they're ready to be splashed with Apple Juice and foiled before going back in for 2 hours.

Removed the foil after 2 hours. At this point I would normally slather the ribs with my BBQ Sauce of choice and back in the 225º OBS for another hour. But today, I chose to leave them naked for the last hour. Here are the ribs after the old 3-2-1 Method.

The money $$hot ... Half a rack of ribs with a scoop of Cole Slaw and a nice huge Pork Stuffed Mushroom :P Good eats!! Had 10 mushrooms but my Daughter-in-Law, Son, and SWMBO wolfed them down. Luckily I set one aside for the money $$hot :D
