First time cooking St.Louis ribs in the home built pellet grill
« Reply #-1 on: January 11, 2015, 07:39:41 PM »
Kimmie wanted ribs so I said OK as long as I get to cook them the way I want and see agreed  :D

So here are the first set of St. Louis ribs I have ever cooked.  Remember, all other ribs have been baby backs

Started off with CYM and Head Country rub
 

Set them in the smoker for 2 hrs at 245
 

After 2 hrs I pulled and rubbed with honey, brown sugar and Agave nector then I foiled and back in for 1.5 hrs
   

After the 1.5 hrs was up I pulled them and laid them out in the smoker.  Left left side dry for Kimmie rt side has bourbon sauce on it


After 30 + mins I pulled them and brought them inside
 

Cut them to see how I did ;)


Even broke out the good china :D :D :D :D


Have to say to say these were real good. I'd score an 8 out of 10 with these. Next time will be even better

They do look good!

Just a question...From the look of the ribs in the picture - the left side appears more done than the right. Have you checked the grate temps in several places to see what kind of heat distribution you are getting?

Did you miss the part where he said he sauced the right side for himself and left the left side dry for Kimmie? Would that not explain the difference or am I missing some mystical texture or technical issue?
