Thought, why not. Ran up to the store after the dogs woke me up, and they had a couple of half racks of spares on reduced quick sale. Six bucks total.
Side burn method in the charcoal basket with apple and hickory
rubbed with some of my homemade rub
got up to temp in about 15 minutes, closed the bottom vents down and it held in the 275-300 range (works for me)
after about 4 hours and a couple of bastes with a vinegar, crushed red pepper, salt, and brown sugar mop
back inside awaiting a brush with my chipolte coffee sauce
ahhh ribs....
Happy weekend and thanks for looking!
