Some nicely marbled spares

I picked a couple slabs of trimmed St Louis spares when I was at the grocery store the other day...normal price $5.99 :wacko: marked down to $2.99. I would've passed at that price, but they had some really really nice marbling and straight bones. The brand is Prairie Fresh Premium, I've not cooked these before, but am hoping for good results based on how they look. Had to roll the Shirley out of the garage again to work on some renovation projects, so I figured might as well fire it up and make dinner. Oakridge Dominator on the front slab, Oakridge Dominator + a healthy dose of HDD on the back.







 
Yeah brother! I love Praire Fresh. My local Sprouts used to carry them (all pork products) but they stopped. :sad: You'll love them.
 
The little "skirt" on the back that I trimmed off one of the slabs sure did make for a tasty cook's snack. A preview of things to come I hope.
 
They look good from here, good price as well
 
I bought three racks yesterday of the same brand at my local HEB. On the Egg clone now. Yours look great, hope I can duplicate your results.
 
They turned out pretty good, went a shade long but I was busy doing other things so whatever. I would definitely buy this brand again (at the sale price) otherwise I'll stick with the pre trimmed Costco spares that are $2.99 every day. I could definitely tell I went heavier with the HDD, the spice was more prevalent this time but still well balanced with the Dominator rub.

I have never tried that brand. They look to be very good quality ribs. I too like my ribs just a little over cooked. Nice smoke rind and bite.
Thanks for posting.
