Baby Backs

So I meant to cook these up this past Friday but a few things came up (read: finally had nice weather so went golfing).  Then we went out of town Saturday morning and didn't get back into town til late yesterday afternoon.  I rubbed them up Friday during my lunch break with Central BBQ's hot rub and put them back in the fridge.  I have never gone more than over night with any of my pork rubbed.  They were still pretty firm when I threw them on.  We will see how they turn out.

They look good so far.  FWIW, I don't imagine there would be any issues with letting it sit in the rub.  I cheated and bought some pre-rubbed ribs before (these).   They turned out great and no telling how long they sat in the cryo with the rub.

Thanks @SmokeyPitt .  I've seen something similar to those at my local Krogers.  Figured those have some sort of preservative in them and being cryo vac would help prevent any kind of funk that might happen as opposed to standard rub and just resting is freezer paper.

Are you cooking them over indirect heat?  We have a brand new Egg, so we have lots to learn. Thank you!

@Golfergirl Yes, I'm cooking indirect with the plate setter.  The drip pan is sitting on top of two aluminum foil balls right on top of the plate setter.  The balls help create an air gap so the drippings in the pan do not burn.  I also have a raised grid which puts my cooking level at the felt line.    I had it dialed in at 255 when I left.  Don't be afraid to ask any questions.  This is a great community and we are all here to help and share ideas.

Welcome to the community!  @saluki2007 is right, this is a great forum and the nicest people.  I had some trial and error myself, but have learned so much.  Great cook by the way Saluki!  They look like they are falling off the bone.
