First time cooking St.Louis ribs in the home built pellet grill

Very nice work!

...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?

In fact you DID miss the degree of doneness Turtle. Look at the amount of exposed bone on the left - vs- the right side of the ribs. We know you body mechanic, as a quadruped are slow......but...... .  Knowing Kimmie as we all do....I would have thought that Tommy has engineered this machine for "Kimmie doneness" on one side and "Regular doneness" on the other side.

Those look great Tommy, and not just because I am in the land of no pork (KSA).  Curious though that you gave yourself an 8 but would do better next time....what would you do different?

I would have timed them a little different I think, Plus as Tee noted the cooker is hotter on one side so a rotation of ribs would have had a better finish.   BUT remember I have to keep Kimmie happy so it worked well for me.   

If I was going to cook for others I would get a larger grill and practice more       Trying to talk Kimmie into a Rec-Tec smoker, I just have to thin the heard down (to many grills/cookers rt now (a great problem to have)

Tommy, good luck with the REC TEC...you may remember when I got mine I thought the SRG was going to have to go but a meat loaf followed by a pizza saved it's life....

Tommy, good looking ribs off that homemade pellet pooper. I saw it work a couple of years ago and I think you ought to put it into production and sell the beejeebers out of them.

Well that appears to be exactly what he did (and did very well).

I'd take either end - both look very tasty!
