Pork Spareribs

jaeger · April 15, 2005, 04:36:16 AM

Here are a couple of pictures of some spareribs that I smoked today. I used Kansas City rub recipe from Smoke and Spice on half of them. I tumbled the other half with Famous Daves Original BBQ sauce. They both taste great! Total Smoke/Cook time was 5 1/2 hours. I smoked them for 3 1/2 hours using pecan. This is a very good wood to smoke with IMO. This is the first time I've had a chance to use pecan for the whole time of the smoke. I also used a rack of bacon on the top shelf.
Here are the pictures-

WOW those look great[:p]. What temp did you cook them at? I agree about the pecan.

Some say BBQ is in your blood, if thats true my blood must be BBQ sauce.

To clarify Cook/Smoke time on spareribs. I smoked these for 3 1/2 hours with a total of 5 1/2 hours at 225 degrees. I suppose a couple of hours of this time the temp was under that as I had to open the door to add bakers and I checked the water bowl at 4 hours. I also used a rack of bacon on the top shelf to self baste.
The smoker was sitting in front near the driveway. I was in the backyard doing yardwork and I could smell these cooking all day. They smelled so good!

P.S. With bake potatoes in the smoker for 4 hours, I had to finish in the oven for 1/2 hour @ 350 F degree temp. I thought they would be done in 4 hours. They were probably 70 count potatoes. (Pretty good size.) Next time I will start the potoatoes ASAP.
