First ribs of the year....

Uncovered the grill...cleaned up some cobwebs and used a brass brush on the grates. Started up my charcoal chimney...using lump charcoal, not briquets.

Put coals in smoker box and added hickory...put dry rubbed ribs on the grill.

Main grill temp is now at 240, smoke is developing nicely, time to close it up for a few hours...dry rub is starting to caramelize and melt, the smells are great.

More pics in a couple hours....

Good work. A couple of uncles that came down from marion are very good on the gril.

I have that exact same grill/smoker. I don't even use charcoal in my smoker box, just hickory chunks.

The ribs look good! Are you making your own sauce too?

That made me so hungry. you can never have enough pork.

I don't use sauce...lol. forgot to take the finished pics...could take a pic of all the bare bones...

I wondered if that style of smoker worked very well. Ive been wanting one for a while now, but I cant get past the fact I could build a nicer one for the same money.

Awesome! Nothing like good ribs.

Sunday I cooked ribs for the first time ever, bought a box of 5 slabs of St. Louis style and they was delicious. While it was a long time to cook them, it was well worth the wait, and will be going for another slab real soon. Below is my finished ribs on the grill.
