is One Chatty Farker
It has been too long since we've had shorties and after Publix had them for 4.45/lb it was time to pick up a couple slabs.
The rub was a combo of my burger rub(salt,pepper,garlic,tiny smidge of lowery's) and Oakridge Black Ops. Light dusting as you can see from the pics.
I used Royal oak lump and Fruita wood cherry chunks for fuel and flavor. The temps were between 265-285 for the first 4 hours and then I just let the temps creep on up to 310 while they were wrapped in butcher paper. First time wrapping ribs in BP and I didn't really like the way the bark was going after an hour so out they came and they went unwrapped for the rest of the cook and the bark returned to exactly how I like it. Total cook time was about 6 hours.
These were/are exceptionally good. Can't wait for her to get home from work and have that first bite. Beef ribs and brisket are by far her faves.
