Took a few weeks off ribs, needed to get back in the swing with a competition looming a couple weeks out. Worked on 3 different methods, (1) basic mustard slather and my rub, one a top secret variation, and (1) instead of using a mustard slather I used a sweet thai chili sauce, 5 spice, and rub.

Basic prep of this 3 pack from RD, rinsed with cold water, then rinsed in white vinegar. membrane removed, and rubbed.



thai slather:



all ready:




bottom rack of the WSM:



WSM top rack:




flipped and all together:



got about 1.5 hours left, should be a good supper.
 
Looks great so far. Cant wait to see the finished product.
 
Sounds like a tasty comparison.

So what's the secret ingredient

crashed out last night, ribs were really good, especially the rack made with the sweet thai chili sauce as the slather vs the mustard. Other 2 were good as well. Pictures dowloading now.
 
The slab with the sweet chili oil slather and 5 spice rub were the favorite. Simple, but just great. All were good. Tender, smokey, and a nice tug.

done:











thanks for looking, gonna have some of these cold from the fridge in a few.
 
I've been using 5 spice powder in a couple of different rubs. The one I use has cinnamon, fennel, cloves, star anise and white pepper. What are the ingredients in your formulation?
 
this was the straight up 5 spice mix from Restaurant depot, no adders. I topped it off with some basic rub.
 
thanks man, really meaty, and porky run of ribs.
 
Unfortunately RD doesn't have any locations in Maine. The reason I ask is because I have seen 5 Spice Powder with 7 ingredients listed on the label

So how did the ones with the sarchi (chili garlic) sauce come out?? I would like to know but that stuff is really hot to. Now the other ribs look good and you didn't foil them at all did you.???
 
that is funny, the only ingedient i know for sure is star anise.
 
thanks mark,

it was a thai sweet chili sauce. more sweet than hot, those were really good, simple,b ut good.
 
Great lookin' ribs Jim, as usual !!!!------------->>
