Tried some ABT's today, never done them before. And they were FASNTASTIC! Never thought they wouldn't be that hot (as they were real mild, full of flavor). Used fresh jalp's, w/ tomato/basil cream cheese w/ a slice of colby. wrapped in thick cut bacon. Used what I had on hand. PLEASE critique these all you can. Could certainly look prettier, but they tasted awsome! Smoked for about 2 hrs.
Did 2 racks of baby's and one spare (cut St. Louis). Did a dry rib on half a baby, turned out pretty good. One boy actually preferred it. After I pulled them off I sprayed it w/ a flat apple soda, dusted them again and wrapped them in foil (as I do all my ribs). The baby's I smoked whole, the spare I split in half.
The others, I sprinkled a rub first, then coated w/ a brown sugar (only the 2nd time i've done that, not too impressed w/ the method), then smoked w hickory chips. All in all, pretty good, but needed more smoke.
The uncooked ribs look a little funny, as they are starting to have the brown sugar melt way. Should have taken a picture post rub instead.
The spare rib pic on the grill is about the 3hr mark.
I need all the advise I can get, so feel free to beat me up a little bit. Pretend i'm the ASU Athletic Program.
