Hickory Smoked Pork Backribs with CT

For our Weekly Dinner/Pinochle Party I chose to Smoke some Pork Loin Backribs I picked up at Costco. I have used Carolina Treet (CT) Cooking Barbecue Sauce on Pork Butts, Turkeys, and Chicken but never on Ribs until last night. After seeing the great results SquirtTheCat had using CT on Ribs I decided to give it a try.

Slathered some CT on the Backribs and sprinkled some Fagundes Seasoning. Check out the fixins for a little tater salad in the background.



Pre-heated to 250º using American Broadleaf Pure 100 Hickory. Setpoint to SMOKE, tossed the Ribs in and smoked for an hour.



Meanwhile ... Diced the Red Potatoes I boiled yesterday and using my handy dandy manual salsa maker I chopped the following: Red Onions, Olives, Celery, Hard Boiled Eggs, and Claussen Kosher Dill Pickles. Tossed with some Seasoning and Mayo until it reached my desired consistency.



Smoked for an hour before bumping the temperature to 250º for 4½ hours. Ready to pull 2 racks in order to mop them with some Original Bull's-Eye BBQ Sauce. The Ribs went back in at 250º for another 30 minutes. Total time: 6 hours.



Ring-A-Ding-Ding ...Chow time. A touch of Merlot with dinner and some Carmel Cream Sherry and Chocolate for dessert



The money $shot ... Smoked Ribs, some tater salad, corn on the cob, and a few chunks of watermelon ... Bon Appétit

Beautiful smoke ring!

Wow, looks very tasty. Great smoke ring!!

They look great Pete! I tried CT on some baby backs once. It turned into a vinegary paste on the ribs with very little flavor. Just not my thing. You didn't mention what you thought of the CT?

Nice looking meal Pete.

Good looking grub there Pete, how did you like the CT on ribs?

CT and Ribs are a killer combination. As I said, have used Carolina Treet (CT) Cooking Barbecue Sauce on Pork Butts, Turkeys, and Chicken but never on Ribs and I'm glad I listened to squirtthecat and decided to slather some on these ribs.

Long way from perfecting ribs but CT and Fagundes Seasoning gave me a great benchmark to work from. I will not hesitate to use CT again.

Scooter ... Not sure why when you used CT once it turned into a vinegary paste on the ribs with very little flavor. I'm no CT expert by any means ... squirtthecat, Nepas, KyNola posts on another Forum is what got me interested in it and I've always had great results with it. Then again, we all have different tastes

Great looking ribs. That whole meal screams, "Summertime!"

Love the tater salad too.

Looks like the perfect meal to me Pete!! Nice!!

Very nice Pete!
