Just thougt I'd share a bit of my Sunday smoking low and slow.  Six racks of pork spares each with a different rub and two with a final glaze of strawberry-rhubarb-jalapeno and another with blackberry-jalapeno jelly.

Dinner's at 6:30pm.

Those look damn good! Now I'm hungry and all I've got at hand are some eggs and toast

Boil the bologna first that way you can think of it as a hotdog filet!

Well thank-you all for the kind comments.

I was using pecan for this and burning 'all sticks' as we call it.  ie: a charcoal chimney with a couple dozen brickettes to get a bed of coals, then nothing but wood from that point forward.  Pit temp hovered right around 225*F the whole 6.5 hours.

I pulled off the membrane on the bone side of the slabs.  (little trick here - pop up a corner with a dull knife to give you a 'tab', then use a paper towel to grab the tab and pull)  Ribs were rubbed with a yellow jalapeno flavored mustard as a binder to hold the dry rub in place.  A good portion of dry rub was worked into each slab front and back.  They were placed in the pit and after 3.5 hours or so, I rearranged them since the rib rack was a bit full.  At 6.5 hours, I wrapped them in alum foil and left them in an igloo cooler for about 45 minutes prior to cutting.

Here they are plated up.  Sorry I didn't get an AR in the pic.  Some of the guests might have not enjoyed that too much.

I like using the creol seasoning with paprika as  rub, it actaully works good, at the last hour glaze it with a little honey and BBQ sauce mixture. Prefer mine dry though.

Damn. I need to get a smoker. The lowest I can get my gas grill down to with the lid closed is 300degrees. I've got a smoker plate in there, but that's just too damned hot for ribs. I need some plans to build a nice brick smoker.
