Smoked some St. Louis ribs yesterday using a fairly basic KISS method.

Slathered some mustard on the ribs, sprinkled with Lawry's Seasoning and fairly heavy with Rib Tickler rub, threw them into the smoker at 210* (had to shop and go to grandson's soccer game so I didn't want them finishing quickly). 4 oz of cherry wood (split in half) and a cherry pellet pouch.

Once I got home after 3.5 hrs, I kicked the smoker up to 250* for one more hour. Toothpick test...great. Removed ribs and added a glaze (Memphis sauce mixed 4 parts sauce and 1 part honey. Add just a pinch of Cayenne Pepper...if you can taste the Cayenne, you've added too much. Thanks RibDog). Placed back into smoker for 12 minutes to set the glaze.

Remove and set on a platter under loose foil for 10 minutes. Delicious. Nice smoke. Quote grandson, "These are AWESOME!" He loves ribs and fancies himself a rib expert. Big Grin

What a great smoker. Shopped, soccer game, gone over 3.5 hrs and didn't have to worry about a thing. Never even thought about the ribs until I got home. The smoker baby sat the ribs and did the job for me. No attention needed. The smoker just did its thing. I got the credit. Cool

Nice report Pags.

Couple of nights ago I was watching Michael Symon on Travel Channel doing a food battle segment on BBQ ribs in St Louis, featuring Mike Mills vs another rib guy. Both were cooking loin backs. Mills said he cooks his ribs at 210 for 6 hrs. Since Mrs. Max gave me a GREEN flag to smoke some ribs today, I'm gonna give the method a try.

Life is good today Smiler
