Spring Ribs

Hiram · March 13, 2011, 07:01:22 AM

I decided to do some ribs as the temp was in the 60's and didn't have to worry about keeping temp up in the smoker. All dressed up and nowhere to go for 24hrs.

They were a little bit dry according to the spouse but she came back for seconds. The money shot.

I envy your outside temps. Here is still -11 C and snow hasn't moved yet. Still looks like mid winter. Temps are supposed to moderate and maybe spring will arrive, although late. Can only hope.
Oh, the ribs look great ;)

Thats our resident sheltie, if there's food you can bet he's in the vicinity.

My daughter in law has a sheltie and its always under the table, or close by when were eating.

60? Haven't heard of such a temp since last fall!

Nice lookin ribs. I'll take them if your wife says they're a little dry.
I like to shoot for 195 deg in the thick part to make sure they're fall apart tender. But I realize spare rips have lots of thickness variation so the tips can get dry. But a couple end ribs a little crusty isn't all bad either.

get smokin

Interesting method Drano. I can honestly say I have never taken the IT of a rack of ribs. I look for the "bone slip" where the meat slips back and exposes the rib bones about a 1/2 inch, just like what appears on Hiram's pics. Then I pick the rack up and look for it to bend easily yet stay together.

We all have our particular preferences and methods yet reach the same results, great tasting food! :)

Good looking ribs, I would bet they didn't last long.
