Rib Cook for NFL Games

[chet8888]

Thought it would be a good idea to cook some spares for enjoying between the NFL playoff games yesterday. Got 2 racks of spares from local butcher, and also wanted to try a short plate rib. The only way they had it bone-in was this huge rib, so I got one just to try. The small bits in one of the pics was the end trimmings off each spare rack.

I used oak and hickory chunks in my classic Kamado Joe, and tried the 3-2-1 method. I think next time I'll do 2-1-1 maybe as bones were almost falling out after I took them out of the foil.

But, since this wasn't competition- -the family really enjoyed them. The rub combination and finishing sauce was super. The short rib was good, although I think it could have used some time in foil, as all of the fat didn't render out. But not bad for a first time cooking one.

Nice color for sure. How did they taste? Pretty good, I bet.

Taste was actually some of the best I had done. Taking them out of the foil was a challenge though because they were basically falling apart. So, had it been a comp- -I'd have been disqualified. But for a family that just wanted some ribs to eat that tasted good? Yep:clap:

Even guys who Do comps don't always cook that way a lot of people prefer fall of the bone. They look good and the family was happy so that's all that matters.
