Some winter ribs.

[roxy]

I have a day off and thought I would smoke up some ribs I bought on sale a while ago.

After looking at MacEggs thread with those drip beans I decided what I got to do.

Todays weather is overcast and just a degree above freezing so its a perfect winters day to fire up the smoker. I will be cooking on the WSM using some Royal Oak lump with hickory chunks for smoke.



That works out to 2.88 a lb and just over 7 and 3/4 pounds for 2 racks of back ribs.. These IBP ribs are meaty for sure.



I had to trim off a couple ribs of the end so I can get 2 of these things on the WSM.



This time I used Olive oil instead of mustard to help the rub stick and form a nice coating. I used a mixture of 2 tbsp of brown sugar with 5 tbsp of rub. So pretty much this recipe.
I like to use the extra rub to reseason my ribs after they have been glazed and come off the smoker

RUB RECIPE

2 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp kosher salt
1/2 tbsp onion powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp chipotle powder
1 tsp ground oregano
1 tsp ground thyme



The WSM has settled into its desired cooking temp of just under 250 at the exhaust which is 15 to 20 degrees lower at the grill..



Ribs are on, time for a beer.

I will be preparing some beans that will be going on the smoker in a bit.



Beans are on. I used some Bush beans that are finally available up here north of the border.. Also, some peppers, onions, celery and mushrooms.



Ribs at just over 2 and a half hours. No foil today as I used the last on my water pan..

I am thinking that I might make me up some rice as well for dinner.



4 hours in and looking good.



5 and a half hours in and first coat of glaze.



Ribs are off the smoker and ready for dinner.



Dinner as I knew it this evening.. There is some rice under the beans there some place. Served up with some warmed french bread on the side.

I just made up a batch of my rib glaze and I kicked it up some. I added a tbsp of Franks hot sauce and a tsp of the rub I used on the ribs.. I am liking the bit of heat.
