Pork riblets with DP Peking rub and spicy chipotle sauce

Stormbringer

This cut was a new one on me. It comes from the top of the ribs, near the shoulder. As they are ribs, I went 2-2-1 over cherry smoke with DP Peking rub, finished with a great chipotle sauce from SWMBO (which paired perfectly with the rub). Very happy with the result, they can be best described as meaty, uneven baby back ribs. Full recipe linked below:

I understand that Applebee's have something called riblets, however according to amazingribs.com these are button ribs.

Rubbed and ready:

Thanks folks.

@marysvilleksegghead that is an impressive amount of riblets, nice.

@caliking as a single meal, both myself and SWMBO preferred them to the baby back ribs we get here, even the meaty ones. There was a bit more meat on the riblets, which may have contributed to the different textures in the cut. 

@Photo Egg same here, Peking is one of my favourite of @Nature Boy's rubs, along with Tsunami Spin.
