Ribticular test

[KevinG]

Stopped the smoke, and pulled it out. Placed it on some aluminum foil and spritzed with apple raspberry juice.



Them bones are sharp, punched through the aluminum foil. I had to double wrap.
Sealed it up and placed back in for another hour.

Now that's pretty.

You can see a difference in color of the two rubs.

[KevinG]

Yea, that ribit is darker than the pitts. I kinda had a hard time with the juice. It rolled from the one side with the pitts to the other, so hopefully I didn't taint the taste of the ribit.

[KevinG]

Here's the sauce I'm going to use. Didn't want to push 10.5 off the edge, had to include some hickory smoke.



Ribs all sauced and ready for the grand finally.

[classicrockgriller]

How you gonna taste the rub?

[KevinG]

Rub came through real clear. That sauce is the cheapy stuff, so not much flavor.

Here's the smoked ribs.


Cut some off of each end.


Here's the money.


There was a big difference between the two sides. Neither was bad, but that ribit stuff has a kick to it. The mesquite flavor overall was strong, I've been burpin mesquite now for about 10 minutes. I can actually burp smoke rings.  :D

I grew up using mesquite. Tried it in a contest over here and got DAL. I was thinking "What is wrong with these people?" I like it.

Now I use Hickory and Apple.

[KevinG]

Yea, I think next round of ribs will be hickory. But I did order a pound of ribit.

[db14]

I always use hickory on ribs, but it's always preference.

I can actually see the steam (or maybe mesquite?) rolling of the ribs in that last pic.

[FLBentRider]

Looks good.

So Hickory smoke sauce on Mesquite smoked ribs???

[KevinG]

Yea, 10.5 was getting way to upset. ;) Had to appease his desire for hickory. Actually, that sauce doesn't have too much flavor, which is why I used it. I' like having sloppy ribs, but still wanted the flavor of the rub to come through. Worked out real good.

[RossP]

I would eat those ;), looks good to me.

[KevinG]

Stop on by, as long as you make it before 2:00 they'll be a hunk left.  ;D

[Tenpoint5]

Now just wait a second it wasn't me that had my panties in a bunch over what type of wood to use! Looks like some good Ribbies anyhow Kevin
