Looks like I could've put more rub on them, I also plan on grilling some fresh sweet corn that I picked up this morning from the farmer.

Standing by for the finale.

Perhaps an obvious but helpful hint:  take some notes about your first cook with anything on the BGE-then review before the next cook.  Change one thing up and go again.  You will get to a point where you know what works for you-then you can tweak for experiments sake.
BTW- many roads will get you there-have fun and don't over-think it.  FWIW-

Thanks, my wife has been bugging me for ribs since I got the BGE, so I'll give it a try.

Looks good. I'm doing my first rib cook today too: http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1185264/my-first-spare-rib-attempt-car-wash-mike-method-pic-heavy#latest

I like how yours aren't flopping around onto each other like mine. Need to find a bigger rack I think.

Great advice. I document my cooks here whenever I do something new or different. I post as much relevant detail as I can so that next time, I can refer back and see what I did and, more importantly, what I did wrong.
