My dry rub expert got to work on these 3 baby back racks at 8:30am. In the pics the single cookie sheet was kosher salt & MMD, on the other sheet the bottom one was Blues Hog and the top was Weber. Had them on the 26†kettle with a water filled SNS with Weber briquettes and cherry wood chunks, and was up to temp by 10:15am. It rained off and on all day, but the SNS performed admirably and the kettle temp was consistent between 225-240F with just a couple vent adjustments. At 1pm I swapped the front and back racks. At 3:15 hit them with a little BBQ sauce (mix of things in the fridge) and then back on for 45 min. Took them off, sauced once more, wrapped and held in the oven until 5pm. Delicious!
Verdict: No surprise, the MMD ribs were the favorite. The brown sugar shines thru and gives more of that sticky caramelization goodness. Big surprise (to me), the Weber was a VERY close 2nd, and the BH a distant third.
