Smoked Spareribs

Hi everyone. I thought I'd make a post about the delicious ribs that I made today.

First I made a rub out of brown sugar and spices and salt and stuff. Then I trimmed all of the excess fat off of the ribs and removed the "membrane" from the bone side. That part was gross, but worth the effort in the end.

Then I rubbed the ribs and let them sit for a while. ...

I heated up the grill and got some mesquite chips smoking away. Then I put the ribs on and turned off all of the burners but one, maintaining the temp. at just over 200 degrees. Here's what they looked like:

Then I flipped them every 30 minutes. Here's a picture of the first flip:

After that I flipped every 30 minutes or so for six hours... You can see from the next photo that Lauren and Luci were a big help in this process:











When the ribs were done they were delicious, and they looked like this:












Alex and Jennifer Ielase came over to eat them with us. Alex brought homebrewed beer, so it was a very manly evening indeed!
