Smoking Ribs the 10.5 Way

Caribou · October 20, 2009, 04:51:35 PM

I thought I'd try my hand at smoking ribs using 10.5's method.
Usually I bake the ribs in the oven for 2 1/2 hours covered at 300F then finish on the grill with BBQ.
As usual, my husband is scared I'm going to ruin the ribs by trying something new. :D
So, when they had pork spare ribs on sale for $1.98 a pound I bought two 5lbs racks: one for the old way and one to try 10.5's method.

I used Willingham's Rub from the recipe site the night before and let them marinade overnight in the fridge.

Smoked them for 3 hrs in hickory @ 225F

Wrapped them in foil with apple juice and cooked them 2 hrs longer, then applied a honey BBQ sauce

And after an hour of cooking without the foil they came out like this.

They came out fantastic, I liked them better than the old way even :) Our guest thought they won the taste test, Hubby said I made them too spicy. :D They were even prettier, too.

They went great with squash roasted with spices, butter and maple syrup...YUM!

The ribs look really good Carolyn. I'd go for the smoked! What kind of squash is that? I just boiled and mashed some butternut with butter, S&P and maple syrup tonight - yum. The little munchkin looks happy ;D ;D

That's why your our ICB3 champ, looks great. That squash looks delicious also.

So what was spicy on the ribs? Surely not the honey BBQ sauce.

Those ribs look great Carolyn and congrats! Next time, just make some hot ABT's and serve those to the hubby before the ribs. That should calm the spice right down on those ribs for him! ;D
