There have been a few things I wanted to do that I got around to today. Eat some pork cause it has been over a week, smoke a uncut slab of side ribs....I normally cut the chine bone strip off, not foil a rack of ribs, and try out some of the Schwartz Chicken Spice I grabbed recently on pork. I had read online somewhere that this stuff is "better on pork than it is on chicken". So I mixed about half the chicken seasoning with a mix of normal paprika, smoked hot paprika and mango/chipolte rub. I went with a lid temp of 350f on a 3 wheeler 22.5 so that was about 275f grate temp. No water bath till a good crust was formed...at about 2 hours or so....and no misting. Here she is at about 4 hours:
Out of focus but here is a blurp from that pool of fat upper left:
Done:
With a little Teague's Touch Of Heat watered down with some cider vinegar:
Great bark on these babies and these were more pull off the bone that the shot makes it look. I will use the chicken spice blend again but probably more like 30-40% of the spice blend. Those big hunks of spice make a nice bark but I think I want more tex-mex type ingrediants going on with my ribs.
