St. Louis Ribs with Pictures

[jrockfl]

It had been a couple months since I made some BBQ, so I needed to satisfy my cravings. I ordered some more wood pucks and also bought a new thermometer. Previously, I had just been using the one with that came with the Bradley.


I decided to try some ribs from Whole Foods. They are more expensive than the ones in the grocery store, but they are really good!


My wife and son got me some Famous Dave's rub for Christmas so I decided to give it a try.
It's pretty good, and I just used a little bit.


Yeah, those are my ribs you are sniffin houndie.


This new thermometer is pretty cool, I can monitor the temperature from inside the house.
I have setup the command center.


You can wait there all day, those ribs are mine.


I used 6 pucks, 3 hickory and 3 apple.


Ribs are safe from that houndie, I'm going back in the house.


I'm hungry, I made some buffalo friend shrimp for lunch.


Picture is a little blurry, this is after 6.5 hours. Gave it the toothpick and bend test.
After 2 hours of smoked, I mopped them every 45 mins or so. When the temp got up to about 250, this would allow me to mop them and lower the temp.
I was trying to keep the temp in the 225 - 250 range.


I FTCed the ribs for two hours and put some beans into the Bradley. I usually do corn on the cob in  the Bradley too, but didnt have any around.


FTC is done!


The finished product. I had some bbq sauce from The Smoke Daddy in Chicago. This place is great for ribs.
Overall the ribs were really good, they were really close to FOTB, which I dont like. I prefer TOTB (Tear of the bone)
And they should tear off with out a fork or knife. Next time, I will on FTC for 1 hour max.

Looking good. One to try. My only criticism would be the lack of beer in the command centre! ;D

[jrockfl]

Thank you everyone!
@DTAggie Yes, I gave him and his chubby side kick some after I was done. She was busy sleeping.

@Waltz I agree, next time I will stock it up!
