I love rib cooks.  Doing pork butts and some ribs next Friday for a birthday party next Saturday.  Do you have enough or are you going for a slab per person. 

PSC

How many people per rack are you considering?

are you serving side dishes or snacks?

good luck!!!

pleas post more pics of cooking and end result!

We bought cases of Seaboard spares, ended up with a few extras for cooking later.
We do a BBQ lunch, and feed a total of 30 (including cook staff).  BBQ sides will be beans and slaw.

I'll try to get more pics once we get into the "heat of battle". LOL

@SMITTYtheSMOKER, what can you share about "Seaboard" spares? Never heard of them here in the South. They look great by the way. 

SmokingPiney

Those ribs look mighty fine!

I've had the pleasure of cooking with @SMITTYtheSMOKER and I can tell you first hand that he knows his way around an egg! These look amazing Smitty, thanks for the post! Were these cooked competition style or something different?

You think. I'd say. Those are worthy of publishing.

Thanks for the nice words, these ribs were as tasty as we can make. IMO

We found the Seaboard spares at our local Restaurant Depot, got 'em for $1.99lb.  Just like when we purchase for our competitions, we buy quite a few to get a nice selection to cook.  Out of the 16 slabs we cooked up, I would say we only found 2/3 bad slabs (shiners) when all were cut out of the cryopacks.  

These classes keep us on top of our game, great practice.  We love to coach up our Big Green Egg community out here.

Very nice ribs

BBQ ribs are the best. My favorite thing to cook and eat. I had no idea how much better they could be until the BGE entered our lives. We, too always make more than we can eat, however, My Beautiful Wife, stores them for later. They really do seem to get even better on the second warm up. It is crazy, and it is fine by me.
Your ribs look outstanding! Wish I were there.

Whats a shiner slab?

When the meat side of the rib has been trimmed to the point where the bone is showing thru.  More meat the better IMO.

Do you remember us pulling that hot fire out of that XL Egg and started over on the fly?  That pork got us a 1st place that day.  Funny how things work out. Are you still back in snow country?

northGAcock

Just beautiful.

They look great. Hard to believe you cooked them all at once on a single mini-max.

Haha, oh yeah man; I sure do! That pork was GOOD! I still have my Smoke Patrol t-shirt from that day.

Yes sir, loving it back here in WI. Glad to have the Egg keeping me warm through the snowy season.

Guys, if any of you ever have a chance to make it up to the Bay Area and learn a thing or two from Smitty DO IT! You will NOT regret it!
