Appetizers???  Sounds like a main course to me    Man a beer sounds good right about..............now 8)

Last update for today ... the only remaining rack of apple wood smoked St. Louis spares ... 24 hour rub, held in the fridge in plastic wrap, using apple wood ... straight smoke for 5.5 hours at 225, no 3-2-1 wrap due to the volume of meat in the #3.  They were well received so all it right with my world.

Let's just say that the meat coma and the beer are competing to dull the senses of my guests.  Catch y'all tomorrow.

They both look mighty fine UWFSAE! Have to try one or two of those Bacon Explosion on of these days.

Those are some picture perfect ribs.

Looks like there were many successful smokes and a lot of good food prepared.

I pushed my little #1 hard preparing 3 full racks of St. Louis style ribs (11lbs) but it came through like a champ. I can't seem to up load the pics (still a little fuzzy this morning) but will try again later.

Looks like the 4th was a great success for those of us smart enough to own a Smokin-It!  Oh, I'm sure those folks out there with "other" smokers had a great 4th too.    Awesome pics of some really tasty-looking bbq!

Finally had a chance to post the pics from my 4th of July smoke

Sorry there are no pics of the finished product but my guests started to arrive just as I was pulling them out of the foil and finishing them on the grill. A lot of activity arould the ribs and I barely got them on a plate before everyone started digging in  8)

Looks great, Andrew!  It appears to be another success story from the 4th!

Well, I have to admit that my 4th of July brisket was a little over-cooked. It still made a great 4th of July meal.

I got right back on the smoker the next day and came up with some fabulous spare ribs. I used the  Memphis dust rub and Vermont maple glaze I found on amazingribs.com. I smoked them about 6 hours and the finished them with the maple glaze on the CG stick burner. Heck those ribs were so good I took a couple pieces to work just to brag a little about my new smoker.

Looks yummy, daddyo!  Bet the maple glaze is good!  Nice job!

Ha! I do the same thing Daddyo. I always get the same reaction when someone walks into the lunch room when I'm eating smoked leftovers, "something smells good!".
