After a weekend visit to my brother's house in Tennessee over the weekend I decided to try some ribs with a "change everything" attitude on Memorial Day. We had already planned a seafood boil with shrimp and crab legs on the gasser but I wanted to light a fire. We found both spare ribs AND Kingsford Blue Bag at 1/2 price at Publix, so that was the ticket. Also found Sweet Baby Ray's at 1/2 price as well.
I seasoned the ribs liberally with Meat Church Holy Gospel and Honey Hog rubs and cooked them 3-2-1 on the WSM at 265F - setup with leftover B&B briqs a few chunks of apple wood and a half bag of KBB. Ribs were spritzed every 30 mins with 1/3 mix each of apple cider vinegar, apple juice and water. Wrapped meat side down with butter and brown sugar and finished meat side up foil boat style with Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory and Brown Sugar slathered heavily which I rarely do.
These were sweet, sticky, saucy and cooked just right to give a little tug on the larger bones. My wife and I agree that these were my best ribs yet. Surprisingly, they went really well with the seafood boil which was also a success. Beaux was good company to be around and really enjoyed the day - and some non-seasoned ribs too.
