Got an extremely meaty pack of ribs at Costco and put the rub on them last night. They went in the smoker about noon at 235 for our dinner tonight. Wood was hickory, cherry and apple.
At 3.5 hour mark they will get wrapped in foil with some butter, brown sugar, honey and a couple shakes of rub and put back in the smoker for approx. another hour.
I have smoked ribs for years. Never found my nirvana recipe. I always crave the kind of ribs you get from an excellent rib restaurant. Memphis had a couple great rib restaurants and my all time favorite was Rendezvous. I have used this web sight recently http://amazingribs.com/recipes/rubs_pastes_marinades_and_brines/the_science_of_rubs.html
good luck with the ribs
I’m seated and waiting the presentation with my bib on!

does any one else put on weight just looking at these shots??
if Dave keeps this up I will exceed my winter weight,maybe its safer if I quit looking at these pics.

I know I’ve gained a pound or two just looking Sheldon, better wait for another cold spell to walk on any Ice. Can you imagine what would happen if all the good cooks here on the site were to throw an eating get together, id bring as many lawn chair recliners as I could find because I don’t think many could walk too far.

We haven’t even started talking Super Bowl food yet. 
Those look awesome? Couple of weeks ago walking though the meat department and same some meaty bb ribs and rememered your money shot so I picked them up for an ice fishing venture.
No money shot from me but I’ll share the simple recipe. Dry brined the ribs over night. Next day a generic rib rub with maitaki mushroom powder.
To save cooking time on the ice covered the ribs in tinfoil cooked for
1 1/2 in oven while getting minnows and packing the gator for the drive out. Being we only had a small 18 square propane grill it was a challenge to finish the ribs off but with a lot of flipping of the foil packages between hole hopping it was time to pull the ribs out of the tin foil. A quick five minute per side grill to crust up the exterior and time for munch time
I dont know if was being out on the ice on a sunny 50 degree day or what it was but those were the best pork ribs I ever had. The maitake mushroom powder gave a nice crust and a distinct flavor out of this world.
Sharing rib stories is like having a cold you keep passing back and forth with the family. I’m ready to have them again.
To heck with the ribs. What kind of pie is that?
I’ve already had my afternoon nap after mentally eating all that stuff!
Whose been knocking on your door?

Thinking you meant “vicariously” eating, but I’m just one of those that think about things that don’t really matter. Know what you were saying… 
Dave, nice presentation promoting the “healthy” balanced meal with the broccoli and such. Was a pretty fun post/process, thanks for sharing!
BTW, was that pie or a cheesecake?
Edit: Just noticed Dave “gigged” this back in January. Still looks as good as the day you conceived it!
With all the irresistible BBQ you make, how do you not weigh 700 lbs?

Well, my wife blames me for every pound that she has ever gained.

It is a blackberry sour cream pie. Fresh blackberries in a sour cream and egg custard. The topping is a brown sugar crumble with pecans.
Do you eat all the ribs fresh or do you freeze some for later? I usually do a butt and a brisket at the same time. Whatever doesn’t get eaten right away, gets put into 1-2 lb packs and frozen. Sure makes for a good dinner when there isn’t time to cook something fresh. Curious if ribs freeze well too.
Ribs do freeze well. I try to vacuum seal if I don’t think that I will eat within a couple weeks.
