First Ribs on the Kettle

[JDLones]

Thanks for the advice earlier in the week.  Here's what I did and how they turned out.

Rubbed and ready...


On the grill this morning


Halfway through I rotated them 180*


Finished and resting


Sliced and ready to eat.  Not a bad smoke ring.


I was quite happy with them for a first attempt.  Thanks for looking!

Very nice to see a slab like that.

Nice job and it looks like you skipped that wrap too. They look delicious.

Thanks.  No, I didn't wrap them. I like them sans sauce and it seems like wrapping them would mess with the crust from the rub.  I just them on and let them go.  The temps held pretty steady, too.  Maybe a bit warmer than I wanted but the ribs turned out great.  I think I started with too much lit charcoal.  Surprise, surprise.

Most of the time it was around 300 or so.  It cooled down to 250, which is what I was shooting for, for the last hour they were on.  They were still pretty tasty so it's good to know that I can cook them a little hotter, and quicker, if necessary.
