Nice looking ribs.....
We almost had some Sunday, wife and daughter come home with two packages or baby back's, when I opened the first , to do my dry rub thing....they didn't smell right ! The second package didn't either. The wife, who has the nose of a blood hound, confirmed my suspicions...no ribs tonight !
I kept the sales receipts and package labels ...the market will make it right...but I had my mouth set on BBQ baby back ribs and I had to settle for grilled New York Strip steak ! Bummer !!!

You know it's a crime to talk about ribs here and not post your recipes
Mike Mill's Magic Dust
1/2 cup/120 mL paprika
1/4 cup/60 mL kosher salt, finely ground
1/4 cup/60 mL sugar
2 tablespoons/30 mL mustard powder
1/4 cup/60 mL chili powder
1/4 cup/60 mL ground cumin
2 tablespoons/30 mL ground black pepper
1/4 cup/60 mL granulated garlic
2 tablespoons/30 mL cayenne
I use this and tweak it a bit. Been using it for several years now.
I slather the ribs with yellow mustard first, then shake this on fairly heavy. There are many many recipes for meat rubs.
Make your own. Don't buy it.

"First ribs of the year"
I have heard that there are people that dont smoke or grill in winter. Never understood that as I love BBQ all year not just summer.
A few years ago my record was -10* when smoking a Christmas turkey. I beat that a couple months ago with a -17* windchill pork loin.
I'll admit it, I like BBQ
I have ribs almost every Tuesday or Wednesday. Baby backs or St. Louis.
Found 4 packages of beef ribs n sale for 55% of at Walmart yesterday. I will be smoking them tomorrow.
I love beef ribs, but most of the time they're not worth it for the price, since they're mostly bone. I'm not talking about plate ribs. I have to drive 35 miles to a butcher shop to get those.
I used to fire up the smoker all winter... now the older I get the less appealing standing out in the snow gets...
My favorite on ribs is rub with Smokin' Guns mild rub, mop once an hour with olive oil/apple cider vinegar.
Not baby backs , but got a bunch of side ribs here for the ridiculous low price of 99 cents a pound , gonna cheat though , 25 minutes in the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker , slaver them up with some Baby Rays and a few minutes under the broiler in the gas oven.

Shiloh, what kind of wood did you use?
I did a brisket last Sunday and 2 meatloaves yesterday. Meatloaves were a combination of beef, buffalo and pork. Used 80 to 90% oak and the rest hickory wood with both.

Red oak is my hands down favorite in a stick burner BBQ pit.
We use a lot of cottonwood here. Its all we have unless you special order wood.
I do have some apple I hoard and am going to cut down some cherry trees tomorrow that some one wants gone.
Update: did them last night, rubbed them with a mixture of sea salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and paprika, stood them on edge on the trivet in the Instant Pot with a cup of apple juice and cooked on high for 25 minutes and let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Had the broiler going in the gas oven, the ribs were fall apart tender taking them out of the pressure cooker, mopped them both sides with BBQ sauce and put them under the broiler till the sauce just started to bubble. Maybe not ribfest prize winners but sure were good for probably an hour tops prep time.
