What: Spare Ribs covered with Cookshack Rib Rub.
Start weight: 3 slabs cut in half. 6.4 lbs total.
Temp: 225
How long: 6 1/2 hours.
Rating: 7.5 to 8
Wood: 1 1/2oz apple and 1 1/2 cherry.
Weather: Sunny and windy. Temp at 7AM was 15 with a wind chill of -14. This is the only way to BBQ.
Notes:
The ribs were very tender and moist. They were a little to smokey for me and the family. I would use 2oz total next time.
I opened the door twice to sauce. Next time I would leave the door shut and sauce at the table.
All in all for the first time doing ribs in the Smokette I would rate this a GREAT success.
The only Bummer was the family ate them all, so no left overs.
