Title: 'Electric' Pork Ribs
Post by: Rummm on July 01, 2013, 06:56:58 AM

A rack of St. Louis style spareribs cut in half. Top rack has my rib rub (http://askabutcher.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=rub&action=display&thread=246) and bottom rack has McCormicks Grillmates 'mollasses bacon' rub.

Onto my electric Primo with a mix of hickory and apple pellets. Here we are after approximately two hours

Five hours total, no foiling, at an avg cooking temp of 250°

'Bite thru' tender and a nice smoky taste, even with the absence of a smoke ring  :(

Very nice cook.  Out of all the ribs I have cooked I don't think I have tried the St. Louis style yet.

I loves me some spares!  Those look great!  Any spritzing or mopping, or just let 'em ride?  Also, which rub got the best reviews?

As I have said before, "sweat not the smoke ring".  It can be pretty to look at but doesn't mean anything in regard to flavor or texture.  It is a fickle chemical reaction -- sometimes comes to the party and sometimes goes somewhere else.  If you liked the results, you're doin' it right  ::)

Nope, just let them ride :)

I think I liked my rub better, to tell the truth  :P
