Did 'em again, Greg. Fantastic!

Guess that's something else you learned while not getting a liberal arts degree from that
institution in Kansas.

What we learned was that if you wanted barbecue, you went to Arthur
Bryant's...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Bryant's

In addition to going there for many meals, it was a tradition for
members of The Kansas City Star's staff who were assigned to cover pro
sports events at the nearby Municipal Stadium to chip in and send a copy
boy the few blocks to Bryant's and pick up a big carryout order for the
guys in the press box, so when I was writing crowd color stories, I got
to participate. Bryant's ribs and briskets were not drowned in "hot"
spices.

There also was a rib shack literally across the railroad tracks in
Lawrence, Kansas, that served up a great plate of ribs. You wouldn't
have gone there, though.

You can certainly use cheap bourbon and save that Booker for sipping
after dinner ;-)

I use Kentucky Gentleman for cooking. It is about $13 for a 1.75l
Jim Beam for drinking ($25 a 1.75) and Booker ($60 for a 750) for
sipping.

Bourbon is also great for deglazing the pan after you brown the hog
jowls for collards, green beans etc. Just be ready to flambe' if you
have an audience. It will go right up.

Have never had ribs better than these at any restaurant.

Learn to cook.

Unless the ribs are extremely meaty, I'd do 'em for only three hours at 275F. Even tightly covered,
the extra hour seems to dry 'em out a tad.

I used my wife's 'Buffalo Trace'. Don't know if it's good or bad, but it did well on the ribs.

Harry was so busy being " step and fetch it" at The Kansas City
Star, he didn't have time to learn to cook or aquire a taste for
ribs.

I do 3-2-1 ribs. Dry rub them and put them on the pellet smoker at 225 for 3 hours, wrap them in aluminum foil and back on for 2 hours, then unwrap and brush them with sauce (glaze) and back on for 1 hour. I usually cut the times on the second and third step a bit, especially the last one, as you're just letting the sauce take a "set" on the meat. Competition quality ribs. And of course, you *must* peel the membrane before you do anything.

Yup. About half the time the St Louis ribs come peeled, other times I
do it myself.

What do you guys do for sauce?

Sometimes I make my own, but lately I've been using this:

https://shop.bonesuckin.com/bone-suckin-sauce-/9-bone-suckin-sauce-hot-16-oz.html

As it says, it's not really that hot, and it's not thick like BBQ sauce. It's just a glaze that really adds a nice flavor.

Oh, and do you know the trick for peeling the membrane? A paper towel! It lets you get a grip on it.

.... or one of those "jar opener" thin rubber pads. (also will peel
garlic). If you have a sharp paring knife you can get it going pretty
easy. I use a combination of pulling and cutting. It comes right off.

I've done 'St Louis' style ribs once. I don't like the way they're cut. Too much gristle and fat
left on the one end, and the other seems to have been trimmed for Chinese ribs. That's the way they
come around here anyway.

I've always liked Sauer's, but while visiting daughter in Savannah, I got talked into buying some
Johnny Harris. Haven't tried it yet, but folks down there rave about it. I've never seen it up here.

That sounds more like a full spare rib.
They start with cutting off the "back ribs", then you have the "spare
rib" and if you cut that lip of cartilage off the other end it is a St
Louis Rib. (all bone)

The stuff both Costco and our local Safeway sell as 'St Louis Ribs' have very short rib bones (about
2") and include the cartilage. I buy the loin back ribs.

Same here, on both accounts. I like Stubb's, it's more of a Texas-style sauce, so it's not as sweet and has a bit more of a bite.

I usually mix Sonny's sweet and KC masterpiece about 2:1 and add a
squirt of Lea and Perrins, some balsamic vinegar, molasses and a shot
of italian dressing

Don't drench it. I like the Carolina mustard based the best, but wife
disagrees.
