Ribs with Mac & Cheese

JMSetzler · 10-09-2011, 06:26 PM

I picked up a couple racks of pork spares on sale recently and tossed them in the freezer. I thawed these out and cut them down...

Added a healthy dusting of my own pork rub...

Fired up the drum to 225° and tossed the ribs on. I cooked these at about 250° mostly because that's where the drum settled in...

Later in the afternoon I prepared a dish of Mac & Cheese and tossed it on the mini-wsm...

Farkin awesome stuff too... Smoked with apple wood...

Pulled the ribs off after about 5.5 hours... these aren't the best ribs I have ever cooked but they were good....

I cut them down to singles...

Served with some yeast rolls.... This was the highlight of my day since the Panthers lost another one...

Nicely done! Your food looks delicious. Is that ham in your mac and cheese? Sorry about your Panthers but if they one I bet your plate would still be your highlight.

Looks really good JM! Not a mac and cheese fan but I would eat the whole plate for a couple of those ribs!

Not much of a smoke ring, bro.

Nope and they weren't the best ribs I have ever had either. The meat did not pull back from the bone very much on either rack. The flavor was good though.

Looks like a good meal to me!

That's all that matters.

I think I just need to stick with shopping where I know the meat is always good, and that's at Sam's Club. I have never had bad experiences with their stuff. This wasn't a 'bad' experience but I have made much better ribs.

That looks pretty dang fine from here JM!
