A rack divided...

Sit back, Relax, and grab a couple of beers I got another detailed post.

Had 3 racks of St.Louis spare ribs that I pulled from the freezer. The first rack I cut into individual ribs.

Started with Super Pig Bacon Rub, Bacon, and some Habenero Mango Texas Rib Candy...

Take the rib and wrap in bacon...

Now to mix some Super Pig and Texas Candy together...

Then apply to the rib with a basting brush...

Repeat 11 more times...

Then onto the Memphis at 260F with the AMAZN Tube Smoker loaded with Hickory pellets...

Now what to do with the left over bacon?

Now mix the bacon in a bowl with some Texas Rib Candy...

Save that for later...

Onto the taters...

I nuked 6 of them in the microwave until soft. Then coated with cooking spray and some BP Little Louie's Garlic Salt...

Back to the ribs. After 2 hours I pulled the two full racks...

Time for some Sparky inspired foil love...

Then the two racks went back on for another hour still at 260F. After the hour I pulled the foil loved racks, removed the foil, and put them back on for 30 minutes at 300F.
I saved the juices from the foil.

Now back to those taters. Time for some smashing...

IMAG2472.jpg


Remember that Texas Candy bacon? It goes on top of the taters...

IMAG2473.jpg


Now for the cheese and into the broiler...

IMAG2474.jpg


Then heat the rib drippings and then add some flour for a little rib gravy...

IMAG2475.jpg


IMAG2476.jpg


Out with the taters...

IMAG2483.jpg


Then a little rib gravy and some sour cream...

The cut up ones cooked at the same rate as the full slab? I thought of trying to do this, but was not sure how the timing would change.

Looks incredible by the way! I have some of the rib candy that I did not open yet, maybe this weekend!

Patrick I was surprised about them all finishing at the same time. Figured the individuals ribs would finish first. I think the bacon insulates the ribs causing them to take longer to cook and they were on the top rack with frogmats where it is cooler.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone ;)

rally grat cook how did the money ones taste to you?

BP really digging the Money rub. I also like how large the container is. Really good value. Let's me apply a liberal coat to the meat. Some of the other rubs I have used have really small containers. And the flavor is great. I can see why this rub wins comps.

The Little Louie's was great on the taters. It pours well and does not take much to add flavor. Definently a step above regular garlic salt ;)

And the Texas Rib Candy was great! I really liked it when mixed in with the bacon bits for the taters. Like spicy candied bacon!
