Title: Babyback Ribs on the Akorn
Post by: HighOnSmoke on April 27, 2019, 05:45:07 PM

Today’s cook is babyback ribs. I seasoned the Cheshire ribs (from Heritage Farms) with Meat Church BBQ’s The Gospel rub. I
am using the Akorn today with a couple chunks of plum and a couple chunks of cherry. Shooting to run at 235.

2 hours into the cook and the ribs look great. Ready to pull them off and wrap.

Ribs were wrapped for a little over an hour. I am going to let them tighten up for about 20 minutes and pull them. I also put a
pan of homemade mac n cheese on earlier. It should be ready the same time as the ribs.  Mac n cheese recipe is from this book:
John McLemore's "Dadgum That's Good!"

Another fun cook on the Akorn. When I sliced the ribs, I thought they may have been dry, but they were actually juicy and very
flavorful with a nice light smoke profile. I really love the smoke profile from the Akorn. Not as dominant as what I get from my
Weber or even my Backwoods. Just a bit more than both of my pellet grills and we really are enjoying the lighter smoke profile.

Mike, those ribs look great but that mac and cheese is what got me drooling.
