With 100s of forest fires burning all over the west we've been in a smoke filled haze for over a month . Our recent camping trip to Glacier National Park was cut short due to smoke and fire. It's as bad as gets out here .

So what do you do when everything is on fire and burning , have a BBQ of course ;)
My girls asked for ribs, that means the sweet candy variety for them .
I trimmed up the ribs and rubbed them down with some sucklebusters and Weber Chicken and Rib Seasoning , wrapped and refrigerated over night .

A creature of habit I've used my WSM for ribs since I got it in 1997 , today I went out of my comfort zone and used the 22 MT with a HC internal ash pan. I used one basket full of fuel and a chunk of applewood. I couldn't get the MT to go below 250 so that's what I rolled with for about 3 hours of smoke .

Those look so good. A friend of ours in Texas did his that way. I haven't had the honey/brown sugar ribs in years. Well done!
