Last Saturday we had a full house CBJ class here in Highland (85 students!) and that’s when it hit me.
…I got to get that smoker going for Easter! So, it just happened that there were two slabs St. Louis “left over” after we prepped all the meats for the class. After defrosting them over night I prepped those bad boys for tomorrow.
Trimming, membrane, spice rub and back to sleep for them in the fridge till tomorrow morning.
Now I got to get the smoker dusted of and ready for tomorrow.
Here’s some pron for you to get hungry…
To be continued.

...yea, I like that gas starter.

I'm still torn how I should cook the ribs.
Smoke ‘em all the way or do a 3-2-1?
I never did the 3-2-1 so I could use some ideas how to wrap them.
If I just use brown sugar and honey would they get to sweet?
 
Game on!
Just put the slabs on the smoker.
Temp is holding steady at around 220.

Looking good- have to do ribs again soon and I like the combo of seasonings you're using.
 
Basted them every half hour with a mix of water, apple juice, cider vinegar and some Jim Beam. (...I thought that bottle was full yesterday? Can't remember what happened)
3 hours later they have a good bark and it's time to foil.
I used some brown sugar, honey and a little melted butter.

The ratio of Mister Jim compared to the other mop ingredients seem to be askew? :heh:

Nice lookin ribs too..
 
We don't know how much of the Jim Beam went onto the ribs as opposed to into the pitmaster :becky:

Nice looking ribs so far!
 
Took them out of the foil after 2 hrs and finished for another hour at 240.
They came out awesome!!!
Finished them with a little Sweet Baby Ray's.

Now I'm stuffed and need to hit the couch.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Rolf

Hey, I did the same for easter dinner. I didn't pr0n this time, because I posted plenty of the trial run i did yesterday... Had a fine dinner of ribs with the neighbor.

How'd you like the 3-2-1. I was doing it for the first time this weekend myself and I was quite impressed.
