    Okay guys, going to use this cook for my entry to a throwdown.  My post will include all pics, but voting will only use one pic.  

    Which pic should I use for voting?

    1:

    I like pic #1.  There is something about the uniformity of the pullback on all the bones that just let's you know they were perfect! 

    Did you trim these yourself or buy them pre-trimmed?  They look really nice and even.  I have bought St Louis style at Costco before and they didn't do the best job.  Some of the bones were way meatier than others so it was hard to cook them consistently. 


    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Didn't do anything with them.  Bought them at Costco...swift pre-packed (3 of em in a pack).

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    @cazzy-I'm in your camp-no foil, no spray, no flip but I've never gotten such results-great cook.  And I would go with pic #1.  Good luck!

    I'm trying the KISS today! My ribs are usually labor intensive steps I took off of tv competition shows.

    Just doing smoke rub and time today ;)

    Maybe they'll turn out half as good as your look.

  • Sorry for the newbie question, but Chubbs' post makes reference to an "AR".  I checked the dictionary, but it's not in there.  Can someone enlighten me?

    @DoofusOfTheDay

    This makes my 3rd time i'm trying to respond.  Damn post approved hack

    I'm too lazy for that...plus, that wouldn't be keeping it simple, right?   :P

    Honestly, some of the best ribs i've ever had, have the membrane intact.  I have prepared them both ways, and have been unable to tell the difference.  Some people think the cooked membrane is a "tasty treat".  Right @henapple

    I'm a true NOOB to the BGE coming from a Webber. After combing post looking for the method on rib cooking. The KISS method looks the best! No foil, spritz or flip, just season & cook!!! Your ribs look amazing, I hope my first cook turns out just as good

    Pork lollipops!! Looks outstanding. I've become a fan of salt and pepper brisket, guess I need to give it a shot on ribs as well.

    You'll never go back! Combined with the oak...these were off the wall.
    Cazzy, I realize this is now a couple years late, but I'm new to the rib game. I'm giving ribs a go for the first time this weekend for my birthday, and this seems like the best/easiest method. I'm guessing these were done at around 250* in the dome, correct? If so, about how long do you think these took. I realize each cut of meat is going to cook a little different, just looking for a ballpark.

    Also, did I read this right that you used oak with this pork? I was planning on hickory as I had never thought about using oak w/ pork, but being in Texas, I love me some oak.

    Thanks.

    Yeah...roll 250 dome, raised indirect.  This cook was oak, but I now do 60/40 oak cherry.  Really like the combo.

    I use STL from Costco for this cook, but spares are fine too.  Season with whatever...S&P is great but can be a tad boring. 

    Toss them on the egg and let em go for 4 to 5 (depending on which cut you go with) hours before you check them.  Look for visual queues look meat pull back, then you can further check with the bend or toothpick test.  Try to keep your temp steady the whole cook and you'll do just fine.
