Double-decker St. Louis spare rib cook
EggHead_Bubba
Posts: 566
Cracked open a brand new case of Curly's St. Louis cut spare ribs and decided to smoke four slabs and have some friends over. The spares are 2.75 lb. and under so I had a slight bit of trimming to do in order to get them on my large BGE. The babies have been rubbed down with my dry rub and then topped off with a dusting of honey powder. More pics coming!

You know it!After two hours... time for a spritz of apple cider vinegar & apple juice. I added the trimmings on the side for future "quality control" testing. :-)

Here's a pic from 3 hours into the cook. Another spritz & turn then down goes the lid! I've caught up to realtime now. In about 10 minutes I'll hit the 4 hour mark.

4-hour mark and looking good. Will add squeeze butter and honey powder at the 5-hour mark.

Those are some perfectly "squared off" St Louis cut. Did they come pre trimmed?XL BGEJoe JRBaltimore, MD

Sorry folks, once I took these off, dinner guests had arrived so I wasn't able to post a final pic until now. They were delicious and had just the right amount of bite to them.@GATABITES... I purchase these by the case from Curly's Foods Inc. and have them shipped frozen. They are already trimmed with the membrane still intact. Removing the membrane is the only thing I do them before washing and applying my rub. This is certainly the way to go for me versus buying the untrimmed spares from the store and paying for the waste I don't use.

@EggHead_Bubba - I went to their website but didn't see a buy now / shipping option. What do they run you by the case? It looks like they're in Iowa, and by your avatar, it appears that your a Volunteer...

Awesome looking ribs.XL BGE, LG BGE, and a hunger to grill everything in sight!!!Joe- Strongsville, OH

@Chelnerul... I have a local BBQ restaurant owner add my order to his when I need something. These spares are 2.75 lb. and under per slab with about 14 slabs per case. The last case I bought was $3.19 per pound. I would contact Curly's and see if they would sell to you individually. I've never had to worry about it since my order was part of the restaurant order. And yes, I'm a huge Tennesse Vol fan!@jcaspary... Thanks! They were delicious. Plan on having a few more for lunch today.

All this rib talk has me craving some myself. Just had to pull a slab out of the freezer for Tuesday.XL BGE, LG BGE, and a hunger to grill everything in sight!!!Joe- Strongsville, OH

It's never a bad time for ribs! The only time I get to have them is when I prepare them myself. I have a wheat and red pepper allergy so I have to prepare my own rubs and sauces gluten free and without and spices that have any types of red pepper in it. Fortunately Jalapeno is okay and that's where I get some kick in my rub and sauce. :-)

damn, those look great man. did you wrap them any any point during the cook?XL BGEJoe JRBaltimore, MD

I never wrap. I always just hit them with a mix of apple cider vinegar and apple juice once an hour. I'm not a fan of "fall off the bone" ribs. Mine are plenty tender but still provide just enough of a tug.
