This is where Sparky comes in. Much respect for Sparky, his ribs are inspiring.

RUM??? Most of that first pict was Tito's Vodka!! Whatever, you know how to "prepare the chef" for battle. The ribs look really tasty, IMO. You should join us at the Fall Gathering. Rumor has it that Sparky may show up for a "rib cooking demonstration"! We could have a challenge!!

The vodka is now accompanying the rum!!
I'm eyeing the gathering. Much to learn from that type of gathering.

Thank you Sparky!
I used Penzey's spices Jerk Pork for the rub.

And for the Glaze I dissolved about 1 1/4 cup raw sugar in about 3/4 cup water, added about a 1/4 cup sherry vinegar, a tablespoon of Vietnamese fish sauce and a touch of nutmeg. Bring that to a boil and simmer until slightly thick.
Could add a chipotle powder to it for a little smokey heat.
Glazed the ribs 5 minutes before taking them off the PBC and glazed them again before serving.
Glaze is not overly sweet, you can taste the ribs.

Beautiful cook!
-
Some good looking ribs Bigg!!! I don't care for lemon cake but looks good and the wife would love it!!! Don

Nice looking ribs, love Tito's! I like the cast iron loaf pan too.

That means a lot coming from the king himself! For that I'll give you organic milk!

Well ...we already have a Midwet Grillin' Mafia ( MGM ) 8)
I suppose you guys are founding members of the "Bones Brothers"..... ;D
-
excellent looking ribs. Which ones did you like best?
-
Bone Brothers is a great name T. founding members Bigger (member #1), Sparky (member #2) and T (member #3, it was his idea so we have to give him a honorary membership ::)). 8)

LOL!!
-

I mixed them up and nobody could tell the difference. I knew which ones were which because the foiled ones had more pronounced bone.
-
does Texas classify as the mid-West ? ;)
we call ourselves the - Gulf coast, the 3rd coast,...
but we are the southern tail of the mid-west ;)
we're the OldSmokey branch of the "Bones Brothers" (http://i50.tinypic.com/20ztyfl.gif)
I think you Houstonians qualify as the Smokey Old Bones Society...or...S.O.B.'s for short... :D :D :D :D :D Yeah - Jack I have tried to explain to folks that Texans are different because the Mid-West will not take us, and the true South and the West are afraid we will takeover! :D ( of course we would improve a lot of things if we do..... ;) ;D
Just kidding folks. Every now and then my Texas pride wells up and overflows a bit....

Sounds fair to me! :D

I see Sparky has been busy with wings so I decided to wake up a sleeping lion with an uppercut.
First gotta get lubricated.....

Now on to the ribs. Used Penzey's jerk pork seasoning mixed with a little lime juice and peanut oil. This stuff is fantastic.
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r636/emtawali/IMG_20140830_192023_zpsatdzs4cw.jpg) (http://s1175.photobucket.com/user/emtawali/media/IMG_20140830_192023_zpsatdzs4cw.jpg.html)
I rubbed that mess on the ribs and let them sit.

Got the PBC going.
Hey, did you know that the Weber compact chimney takes exactly 40 briquettes to fill leveled? Perfect match for the PBC.
Anyway, I hang the ribs at 1:40 pm.
(http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r636/emtawali/IMG_20140830_133946_zpsgifcpvzy.jpg) (http://s1175.photobucket.com/user/emtawali/media/IMG_20140830_133946_zpsgifcpvzy.jpg.html)
Came to check them at 4:15 pm and tooth pick went through like a hot knife on room temperature butter.

No foiling (I got all my teeth, I use em), no BBQ sauce.
These were one of my best ribs yet!

I took the whole jerk Caribbean theme and made BBQ beans with crushed pineapples and fried plantains.

Sparky, I've been practicing. I've settled on simple salt and pepper for seasoning. No rubs, no foil. Pecan wood chunks for fuel.
Preburn my wood.

Great thread. I really liked the Caribbean vibe with the BBQ beans and Fried Plantains. Looks like you making some good bones too.
I've stopped wrapping my ribs as well. Wife has liked the non wrapped ribs the best, but I don't know if it is me getting better at cooking the ribs or if it isn't the foil, but I'm not changing anything.

My last couple of rib cooks, I did not wrapped and everyone seemed real happy....so I am done with foil on ribs as well.... 8)
-
Texture of unclutched ribs is beautiful.
-
What would Sparky do? Would he rub his ribs with real maple syrup, season with salt and pepper?

Looking killer! What is in the peppers?
