New Egghead - First Cook

I am proud to say that I am the new owner of an XL egg thanks to my wonderful girlfriend, who bought me an early college graduation gift! Keep her? Yeah I think so!

I am familiar with the BGE, having many opportunities to use them (multiple egghead friends).

My girlfriend's dad had some spare ribs in the freezer and asked if I wanted to cook them up for the maiden voyage. I would have preferred baby backs, but free meat is free meat.

I took many different methods I had seen online as well as my past experience on my homemade smoker and I combined them all together. I must say, they were quite tasty and offered just enough resistance pulling right off the bone.

Heres the method in a nutshell:
Prep
1. Removed the membrane (of Course)--- Didn't feel like trimming
2. Coated them all with dijon
3 .Rubbed down with Miss State Ag. Dept BBQ rub along with some brown sugar and corky's rub.
Cooking (250 Degrees)
1. V-rack for 3 hours ( misting with a mixture of apple juice and apple cider vinegar every hour)
2. Rubbed down w/ Honey & Steeped in a roasting pan filled with about a quart of apple juice - 1.5 hrs
3. Pulled ribs and slathered w/ sauce and placed right on the grate- 30 min on each side.

Here are a few pics- Didn't have my DSLR on me, so I had to use my P&S. Better pics in the future!
