Babyback Ribs...

It's been too long since my smoker has been fired up. Between being on vacation and my wife's doctor telling her to eat less red meat (?), my poor smoker has been on a hiatus in the garage. Today though I moved it back to it's spot in the yard and filled it with coal. I didn't have enough time to make a brisket or pork butt so the ribs seemed like the ideal choice.

I rubbed one rack with a Tex Mex spice and the other with some jerk seasoning. Both of them would be mopped with barbecue sauce towards the end of the smoke. The ribs went on the grate at 1pm and I took them off at 5.30pm. Some people can cook ribs in a couple of hours but I still prefer to go low and slow. The end result was a juicy rib which came off the bone with ease. The Tex Mex rack was the winner in my opinion. The jerk rub smelled great but It didn't blow my socks of. A picnic in the park is planned for tomorrow so I will probably shred the leftovers and make some cool little sandwiches.

Happy Sunday to everyone!

    How funny, I was scrolling through my reader saw these and had to wipe my chin. My husband has been asking for a smoker, how can I say no now. Great photos, they are making me so hungry. Sounds like one fab weekend.

    Wow, these do look wonderful. A friend of mine recently got an electric smoker and I have to say her ribs were very good, so much better than I expected. There's still no substitute for a couple of slabs over a charcoal and wood chip fire.

    We just bought a smoker this year and we are loving everything we've made so far - check out the smoke color on our ribs a couple weeks ago:
