I don't believe in marinating ribs . . .

Don't believe in marinating ribs, but I did.  Overnight, Friday night in Lawry's "Hawaiian" marinade. 

Then, we let the rub sit overnight, Saturday night. 

No particular reason.  Just did.

Don't believe in foiling ribs, but I did.  No apple juice in the house, so I used the last dregs of the Hawaiian marinade.  In foil wrap for 20ish minutes.

Don't believe in saucing ribs - but my wife does, so [this time] I did.  Cut the ribs into singles and tossed them in a baggie w/ SBRay's BBQ sauce.  Then, back on the egg for a bit.

(Love this Egg!  Set it at 225° and it just stayed there for almost six hours.)

Thanks, Anton!  I broke a couple of my 'rib rules' just for a change of pace.  Turns out - they tasted good.

Still . . . marinating ribs just ain't right.  Ain't American.  Shouldn't be legal. 

We ate 'em anyway.

I do feel the shame!

(FWIW, I actually explained to the Mrs. that saucing would obscure the smoke ring.

She exhibited no concern, so I caved.)

Looks like a winner to me. Hey no harm in changing things up. When you eat the same thing cooked the same way over and over it can cease to be a treat. A marinade, a different rub or even a different cooking method can breath new life into old favorite. I sometimes marinate chicken in coke cola and Captain Morgan just to change things up. Again the grub looks excellent my friend.

Dude I don't care what you did with them, they look awesome! BTW what's more American than slathering sugary sweet sauce over anything

@SGH:  Thanks.  I will search for cola/Cap'n marinade when I get home.  Sounds . . . different, for sure.  I'm a Morgan's fan, so . . . . . .

@PhatChris:  (Thanks for the compliment re: ribs.)  I will concede that saucing is slightly less heretical than marinating.      B-)

Looks good to me. I did 7 slabs of baby backs on Halloween with just yellow mustard and Plow Boy's rub and they were outstanding. I've done foiling and saucing before too, but these were plain and simple and good. I had people telling me they were the best they ever had and 2 of my nieces who aren't fans of rubs liked mine and one of them took a slab home with her. sometimes you just have to change things up. That's what fun about cooking on the egg, its hard to mess up the food on it.

Sardonicus  Killer looking cook!

I share in most of your sentiments but you may have persuaded me otherwise.

OT- JC how did you do the GIF and quick photo slide show and put it on here?  That too looks fantastic!  

^:)^

Go to MakeAGIF.com and you'll be prompted through the process.  It's very, very easy and it takes very little time to covert a handful of photos to a GIF.  There's no charge.

There are other sites, but that's the only one I've used.

Have fun with it.   B-)

Handing out ribs for trick or treat?
Where's your house,. I'll be there next year dressed like an old man. Oh...that's no costume.

Hmm, I pretty much make my babybacks and pork spares the same way everytime.
I go with a different flavor on my beef short ribs, and it's been too long since I did anything with beef spares.
Now chicken wings is another story, I'm always changing it up how I make my wings.
But now I'm inspired, next time I make pork ribs, I'm gonna change it up.
