First time ribs

Went to the butcher counter thinking I'd get baby backs, when I encountered these St. Louis ribs. They looked great so I thought I'd give them a whirl. Had to cut them into sections to fit on my meager Medium BGE. Used Dizzy Dust on one slab, left the other plain for the kids.
Did a little poking around on the forum once I got them home and learned that they take considerably longer then baby backs. Time I had not budgeted with a hungry family looming. So I upped the temp from the 225 that I was planning, to 280. Crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.
Applewood chips doing their thing.
A few beverages for the kids. (With a few for dad buried deep down in the bottom where it's coldest.)
Caught some baseball while I waited.
Two hours later (and a few spritzes from the Apple Juice/Apple Cider Vinegar) they were ready to come off. I was really thinking it would take at least another hour, so I was a little worried about having cooked them too fast.
Once I sliced them, I was pleasantly surprised. Not exactly perfect, but certainly acceptable to an understanding family for a first try.
And the world famous sauce from Dreamland BBQ in Tuscaloosa makes everything better!

Dreamland sauce is the way to go, no doubt. I would highly recommend ordering it online, if necessary. We put it on chicken, pork chops, ribs...so tasty!
The ribs look good. But when you do have more time to do them longer, you are going to be soooooooooo impressed with yourself!
(The bad news is, you won't like BBQ restaurants as much anymore 'cause you can do better, ha ha.)
Keep up the great work!
