Title: St Louis Ribs
Post by: Ross77 on October 16, 2017, 11:12:36 PM: I picked up 2 slabs of St Louis spare ribs at Costco. They were already seasoned but I added mustard and additional seasoning.

I smoked them without foil for 3 hours @ 240. Then foiled with apple juice for 2 hours. I removed the foil, sauced and smoked for another 30 minutes.

Lumberjack sweet wood blend mixed with hickory.

They turned out great. I usually smoke baby backs but I'm starting to like spares better.

Costco sells two packs of these ribs pre-seasoned. I'm not exactly sure what the seasoning is but it's a little on the sweet side. I just supplemented it with some salt, chili powder, garlic powder and black pepper.
I think it was about 50F out?

Post by: Ross77 on January 16, 2018, 12:00:56 AM: I smoked two more of the same Costco spares today. The outside temp was 4.

I basically followed the same cooking procedure and they turned out great again. Could have used a bit more smoke though.

100% Hickory Lumberjack pellets this time.

Post by: Ross77 on January 16, 2018, 10:42:14 AM: They are just pre-seasoned. I like them because itâ€™s only two racks instead of 3. Two is plenty for my family.

Post by: cookingjnj on January 16, 2018, 09:26:20 PM: Hey Ross...... I mentioned on another post, my most recent rib cook...last night... I did not wrap for the first time. Ribs came out moist and had great smoke flavor. I was using Pit Boss Competition Blend Pellets. That being said, great cook brother! Those ribs look awesome! I am sure taste was even better than the pics. Nicely done.
