I cooked these ribs for a party awhile back..I think I showed these pics to BP already but I wanted to show the rest of you guys what kind of color and look judges look for in ribs..the rub was plowboys yardbird and another rub mixed..set to smoke for an hour then ramped up to 275 for another 3 hrs..foiled at color(the first two pics)with our special schmear..then another 35-40 min until done.cherry BBQ'ers Delight pellets

Here is how they look going to the tent..now these are from a whole different cook but you see what I'm talking about on the color and look..5 on top 5 on the bottom..yes 10 bones for six judges..I think like this..,imagine being at lets say a wing joint..you order 6 wings for 6 people well the last guy gets the little shitty one..not saying i put bad bones in the box but when judge 6 gets my box he still has 5 bones to chose from

spark when a comp team uses words like special schmear that is their secret mojo...you never ask...if they volunteer...like he told us it was plowboys....and another...that another is their hook.

What you should do is think abou tthe different things you have seen and really try like some plowboys with smokin guns hot...or rib tickler and cook at his temps and times that he is giving you..

MATT YOU WOULD MENTION BUMPING US DOWN TO 4th! hahahahaah

Matt you guys are falling in love with the MAK.....I can tell

Matt,
Those are some dynamite looking ribs! At some of the KCBS contests I have judged, we haven't seen many ribs like those. I wish we would. That is some of the nicest "eye-caqndy" I have seen in a while.

Matt, those ribs look great. I am getting ready to fire up the 2 star for 8 racks for our boys trip to northern WI snowmobiling. I use Plowboys too. Hope mine will look close to yours!
