I have a friend at church who competes on the BBQ circuit.  He typically mans the grill when the United Methodist Men (UMM) meet during the summer.  Last month, after a succesful meal of grilled pork steaks, the guys decided they’d like to have ribs at the next meeting.

Well, that turned into a two man job.  We decided that we would take the day off and plan to cook at the church.  We also decided to press my Backwoods Pro Jr into service.  Paul and I moved my cooker to church that morning and he trimmed the spare ribs down to St Louis style ribs while I put together 2 pans of my “magic” beans.

Paul uses Code 3 spices when he competes, so we decided to use them for this cook as well.  We roughly followed his competition process, which means we wrapped the ribs in foil with brown sugar and butter, then finished them out of the foil and glazed them with sauce.

We also decided to do the rib tips at the same time, following the same process. It’s a good thing we did.  We had a great turn out.  

Here are a few shots of the finished product.

Everyone enjoyed the meal and fellowship.  Next month, we’re frying fish!

Cheers,
Braddog
