Pre-Storm Spare Ribs

[Oink Oink]

I wanted to get my bbq fix for the weekend before the storms roll in. So the wife picked up some spare ribs from Sam's Club and I cooked them hot and fast on the kettle.

Set up some 'new' Cowboy lump and Apple wood as a snake.

Oh yeah it was my first cook on the new cast iron grates for the kettle.

I did get some! The boy can act like a picky eater sometimes but not when there's bbq on the table.

Rib tips, burnt ends and such. I think these were almost more popular than the ribs!

Looks good! What temp did you cook them at? And did you cook the rib tips in the foil pan?

I don't have very accurate temps. The dome temps were about 300 to 325 according to a bimetallic thermometer. I have, in the past, observed 25 to 75 degrees difference from dome to grate. So if I had to guess it was probably around 250 to 275 for the whole cook (for the ribs). I didn't foil.

I did cook the tips in the pan, I poked some holes in the bottom so the grease could run out. I usually cook the tips whole-ish on the grate but this time I cut them up ahead of time.

You are welcome. I like it a lot. I saw it on here and told my wife about it then low and behold it was part of our anniversary present.

It made tweaking the fire easier and helped increase the thermal mass of the cooker. I imagine it will make great sear mark on steak (this was my first cook with the new grate).
