Bavarian Style Ribs

This thread on Tuscan Style Ribs (https://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1213792/tuscan-style-spare-ribs) inspired me to try something a little different this weekend. I picked up a slab of St Louis cut ribs at my local butcher shop (and BGE dealer) as well as a bag of Rockwood (They have a good business model).

A liberal application of Penzey's Bavarian Spice (a blend of crushed brown mustard, rosemary, garlic, thyme, bay leaf and sage) and a bit of Kosher salt sums up the rub. They're on the Egg now with some applewood chunks for a nice slow cook.

    DC Meats in Osceola on Lincolnway, just West of Ash (county line). I just discovered they started carrying Rockwood. $24.99 a bag. No more road trips to Texas Corners  :)

    After 3 1/2 hours on the smoke at 250 I wrapped them in butcher paper for 90 minutes at 300. They’re pretty limp now and I’m getting some pullback around the bones, so I unwrapped and put them back on the grille with a glaze of Italian dressing. Predicting a food coma on the horizon. Having a bourbon in anticipation.

    Still on the Egg. This is real time commentary! They’re holding while we get sides prepared. They should be done in 30 minutes or so.

    I know it doesn't influence the flavor, but the red of the smoke ring looks great.

    DC has some great stuff. Takes too long to drive there, and the stall at the farmer's mrkt is just a sample of what the main has. BTW, I used to live about 3 miles straight south of where DC is, on Dragoon.

    Very interesting!
    Just realizing that, in the few times I've been to Germany, I've never seen ribs of any sort on any menu....?  
    You EU'd them with the italian dressing, wonder what they would've tasted like without?  
    Ooh, Sunday Project!  :triumph:

    Actually, the dressing added very little to the flavor profile. I used it to keep the meat moist more than anything.

    They were delicious. Bride of Teefus opined we should do them this way all the time. Between the spice profile and the smoke they have an amazing rustic thing going on. Never not yummy.

    Yep. With just my Bride and I we always have about a third of a rack left. We make sure to have a few sumptuous sides to have with our ribs so we don't go into a meat coma. This week it was Lima Beans and Smashed Roasted Potatoes.

    How long did it take to get the bones to pull like that? How long outta foil and how long in foil? What temp at dome? My wife won’t eat ribs unless she can do so with a fork. These look like she’d like them.
