Saturday’s spare ribs

tried something new, head country apple habanero sauce, was more of a glaze. Nice flavor.

Those look pretty damn tasty. I saw that sauce in the store the other day and almost bought some . What did you think of it?

It was good. More of glaze than a bbq sauce. Says habanero but it’s not spicy at all. The apple flavor comes out more. I think it would be good on chicken too

Look great! I cooked spares yesterday w/ cherry wood. Great color. Did you use any smoking wood?

I used two small hickory chuncks(my favorite smoke flavor), im originally from memphis so I have to have some hickory flavor in my life

I preheat at 210-225, get some hot coals on, throw my hickory chuncks and let it stabilize for 45-60 minutes to get that clear/clean smoke. 

One trick ive learned is the colder the ribs the better they absorb the real smoke flavor, so I sit them in the coldest part of the fridge well before I cook, seasoned and ready to go.

I dont wrap or anything, just let them ride, these went about 5 hours, could have gone with 4.5, they were a bit tender for my taste.
