Ran an experiment this afternoon.

[Moondog]

Found a rack of baby backs and a rack of spare ribs in the back of my freezer. Decided that I would do both as a side-by-side, and for once and for all make a choice.

Five hours, hickory, at 225, with a dry rub.

Spares could have used another 30 minutes or so, but it was good enough to make a call.

The spare ribs were good. But. The baby backs, by a mile. And it isn't just that they are more lean.

A couple of my neighbors, who were smelling this all afternoon and were willing to make the supreme sacrifice, and were still sober enough to actually have a sense of taste left, concur. Baby backs. Mos def.

4. Still sounds mouth watering good.

Methinks a bottle of bubbly would be nice with the meal.[img][/img]

5. Went low-rent. Bottles of Yuengling. Which was pretty decent.

Very cold!

Just no Gin for moi.

2. Ah, but this was a smoker, not a grill. I use both.
