Dusted down with a little home rub.
Stoke the Medium up to 350.
And on the rib rack. Put a couple chunks of simmon in the mix and some alum. on the platesetter to catch the drippings and also help with the direct heat at these temps on the Medium.
After 45 min. just like Mike I flipped them and swapped places on the rack then on for another 25 min. pulled them off and they looked like this:
Mike used a little apple juice but I used a little unemployment beer.
Foiled back and on the Egg at same 350 for 30 min.
Unfoiled
And saused with house sause.
10 more min. at same 350 temp and ready to pull. Who says they an't tinder?!!! :woohoo:
A couple Reta's for a family member gone.
And time to eat and be thankfull.
Just wouldn't be right with out Jake.
I'm sure Mike's family will see these post one day when things settle down. Hope in some small way they understand how special he was to so many people and hope that is some small comfort to them. God speed Mike. :ermm:

Hey Rebecca
I think Mike would have gotten a kick out of it. I was never lucky enough to meet him in person but have seen so many pictures of his infectious smile that maybe we could have gotten him to sing lead.
What is funny is that "Mike's Way" was born of my bad hearing. I have been hard of hearing/deaf most of my life and my mind likes to play little "sounds like" games that I am only spectator to. LOL. To go from "My Way" to "Mike's Way" was to easy to deserve any credit for any thing. When I looked up the lyrics I liked it even more.
I have to go get cleaned up. I'm sticky from here to there and back again. Left over CWM ribs are incredible! They may even be better then the first night.

Great looking ribs for Mike!
I like your "special" ingredient in the foil stage too...I didn't have any apple juice either so I used Newcastle Brown Ale to spritz mine...really liked the result.
Have a GREAT day!

I think the margaritas with Mike's ribs would be perfect! Great photo, it's simple but the greens and reds compliment each other as well as the sweet and sour. I'm sold. I just finished a big plate of leftovers (made my ribs yesterday) and am sticky from head to toe and have a BBQ sauce smile from ear to ear.
Hope your weather is cooling off up there. I hear it has felt like Southwest Florida.

please continue to post your 'tribute racks" in this docked thread.
He undoubtedly had a soft spot when it came to my wife Ann. Most probably he figured if she could put up with the likes of me...well then maybe he had a shot...lol!!
Anyway...at the first Oklahoma EggFest he and my wife parked behind me and proceeded to make my life miserable as they took,(or moved without my knowing it)
my cooking tools, spices..sauces..ect. each time I was distracted by a fest goer at the table.
He got a real charge out of messing with me for some reason, so after I finally cought on and received the requisite ammount of Car Wash Mike abuse... I devised a counter attack!
I turned my best weapon on him...Ann!!
There was nothing as sweet as embarrassing the crap out of Mike, and watching as that face and ears lit up like Rudolph at Christmas!
Snoopy was spinning some old Disco tunes....so Ann at my urging grabbed him and dragged him out in the middle of the dance floor(by himself)...and proceeded to dance him up!!
Thus the ledgend of "Car Wash...The Dancing Bear" was born!!
Any time he got too uppity where I was concerned..all i had to do was threaten to post a link to the video for all the newbies to see...well, you can guess the rest!
Rest Well... Dancing Bear!!
thanks for doing this bill, it means a lot to me,and a lot of others, thats for sure!!

I was told - they were the best ribs I've done - bare none. Now, I wish I had made more.
I'd like to think that CWM was guiding me through the process.

So sorry we never had the privilige of meeting him. We have certainly benefited from his posts.
i got my copy of Chosin in the mail friday.
