I cooked a couple of St. Louis cut spare rib racks on my 22 1/2" WSM.
I rubbed them with my standard rib rub (sucralose, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper).
I slathered them with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce.
I cooked them at 250F unfoiled, for about 2 1/2 hours, then foiled for about 2 hours, then sauced for about 1/2 hour.
They came out great!

Trimmed and rubbed.

Thanks for looking.
 
Looking good!
What's the deal with the pot???

Good call on the beer too - you know that is the gateway beer to better beers right?
 
Good looking cook. I have never seen someone use artificial sweeteners as a rub ingredient. Are there any differences in the way it cooks versus sugar? What I mean is: does it burn/scorch easier/harder? Do you use less since it is sweeter than sugar?

I really wish I could get some yuengling down here in Texas.
 
After seeing those ribs, I'm not going to tell you what the next Thowdown category is. Don't bother looking I think it's possom this week. :becky:

Mighty Fine Sir!
 
Those are some great looking ribs Bob!!

What is the pot/container for?
The pot keeps the ribs warm after they are cut up.

It doesn't caramelize like sugar does. I use it in the same proportions as white sugar.
