Had the Sister-in-law and her family over to join us for dinner today. Decided to do some spare ribs on the WSM and also tossed a butt on the bottom rack to be used later in the week for other meals. Both the ribs and butt used a rub of brown sugar, jerk seasoning, and kosher salt. Butt went on first since it is going to take the longest.

After about 3 1/2 hrs. I probed the butt (

Ribs were on for 5 1/2 hrs. sauced them 2x. Sauce was Sweet Baby Rays,  1 cup cider vinegar, Mike' Hard Cranberry Lemonade, jerk seasoning, and molasas. Pulled them off and there is the "X"...... like I said.... corny.... lol.
