Found this receipt for Beef Spare Ribs. Combined Sloppy Joe mix and Onion Soup mix as a rub. Then slow grilled them for 2 hours on the gas grill using indirect heat.   I have never tried cooking Beef Spare Ribs before. They turned out quite nicely. The flavor was nice and meat was tender. Though I think next time I will use a different rub and try it again on the smoker.

We have received our tickets for the Texas Monthly BBQ Festival! It will be at the Long Center on Sep. 19th.  Here is some of what will be going on:

• Cash bar
• Cooking demos with local chefs

If you were wanting to go, I am sorry to inform you but, it is already sold out.

Yesterday I fired up the smoker to try my hand at beef ribs. Had two slabs of ribs. So, I tried to different rubs on them. One I purchased from a local BBQ place call Rudy’s. The other was a rub I picked up from Central Market.  Fired up the grill around noon after my girlfriend and I got back from walking the dogs.

I had smothered each slab of ribs in rub the night before.  Set them out to come up to room temp. as I got the fire started and soaked the wood chunks.  Used Pecan wood chunks for the smoke and plan Kingsford charcoal for fire/heat.  Placed the ribs on the grill and let them cook for about 5 hours.

Pulled them off after grilling some corn on the cob and heating up some baked beans.

I enjoyed the Rudy’s rub over the Central Market rub where my girlfriend enjoyed the Central Market rub best.

After diner we retired to our chair  to watch a movie and revel in our food coma’s!
