Baby backs with char (bark)

Cooked 4th of July baby backs today. I am a Car Wash Mike disciple...so I stuck with that method...although I did add granulated brown sugar to my dry rub for some added sweetness. I also wanted to add some black char (bark) as I am a carbon afficianado.
Got off to a good start with three racks (cut in half to fit better on my large BGE).
The total cook time is almost six hours...but the results are amazing. Before the BGE, I only dreamed about cooking baby backs...now it is a reality.
To get some char, I took the placesetter out after 5 hours and finished the ribs with direct heat. I did the meat side down for about 5 minutes and then added sauce with the bone side down for about 15 minutes.
I was very happy with the results. Perfect amount of char. I know I'll use this method again in the future.
Cole slaw (with peanuts and apple slices) completed a great 4th of July meal.
Is this a great country or what!?!?! Have a Happy 4th of July!

Beautiful looking bones!! I like the technique used to get the char, and I'm sure the direct heat also helped firm up the sauce at the end. Well done!

Delicious looking ribs, I'm hungry again!

That's how I like my ribs, carmelized with a touch of char.
