Mid Week Ribs
« on: August 20, 2014, 07:13:35 AM »
Off work an extended amount of time due to a new baby boy. No better way to celebrate than some discounted ribs on the WSM. Using the Meathead Memphis Dust recipe shared in another thread.

Decided to try rubbing one with mustard, just because I've heard a lot about it recently. It seemed liked it was easier to apply the rub to that set of spare ribs.



Rubbed up, 3 tablespoons of rub per side.


Setting up the WSM. Apple wood. Still getting used to the 18.5 WSM. Used too many coals and the smoker is running on the hotter end of the range at 265. Trying to get temps down without putting out the coals.



These barely fit. I should have trimmed some off.


Updates to follow.

You're in for a treat wroth that rub. I'll be interested to hear if there's a taste duende using the mustard.

This is a fairly cheap hobby when you consider the time  with family and friends and how many meals are created.

Looks like those ribs are off to a great start, did you slide a drip pan of beans under the ribs?. Keep the updates and pics coming..

Bent, cut, and consumed.

Honestly not super impressed with the rub. The ginger was very prominent. With no real heat I found it a little bland. When using the rest of it, I will probably mix in some cayenne and kosher salt.

However, as far as technique this wasn't my best effort and they were definitely a bit over cooked. You can see some of the ribs fell apart during slicing. An impromptu baby photo session delayed pulling but it could have been running the smoker a bit hot for a while. Who knows. Maybe all that threw off the flavor of the rub.

No flavor difference with the mustard. I think it's benefit was just in applying the rub.

Still a great dinner.
