Firecracker Ribs on the Slow 'N Sear Kettle

Sweet and Spicy FireCracker Ribs
#Ribs #SpareRibs #BBQRibs
Ribs are a staple when it comes to holidays and get-togethers. This recipe brings the heat and sure to get the attention of your guests' taste buds.
**What You Need**
- St. Louis Cut Spare RIbs
- A Savory Rub (Mississippi Grind)
- A Spicy Rub (Gulf Coast Smoke Southern Hospitality Hot)
- Mike's Hot Honey
- Your Favorite Vinegar Sauce
First Things first... Get your pit fired up. Set it up for indirect cooking. We are wanting to keep the temps between 275-300. Run a good clean fire and control that temp.
These ribs did not need much trimming and the membrane was already removed. We got a good layer of "The Grind" followed by the spicy Southern Hospitality Hot Rub. These rubs paired great together and had a great color.
Once the pit was stabilized and running 275-300, we got the ribs on. We watched a thin blue smoke roll from the SnS Kettle and I was amazed how well it ran and held temp.
Once we got the color we were looking for, we wrapped the ribs in foil with a little Vinegar sauce. After a total cook time of 4 hours 15 minutes, these ribs were good and tender.
We glazed these ribs with Mike's Hot Honey and a little more Vinegar sauce. They had a great flavor and definitely brought the heat!!!
Bring the heat the next time you cook ribs and enjoy!!!

Theres something about a southern accent that warms my australian soul

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Lol… what accent?

I just found the mississippi grind seasoning in the store and my family is immediately loving it. I coated some pork chops and smoked them the other day and they tasted fantastic. Now I have a whole chicken on the smoker with the grind seasoning on it and can't wait to eat it. Fabulous seasoning. I'll be buying this for other family members that love to bbq when Christmas comes around. (Also, this seasoning tasted amazing with Stubb's "sticky sweet" bbq sauce and wasn't overpowering) 👍

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

That’s what we like to hear! Thank you and your family for the support!!

[@korgL3]

@@SwineLifeBBQ you're very welcome! The chicken was also an absolute hit also! Your seasoning is awesome!

That Mike's Hot Honey is some good stuff. Been using it a few years now and absolutely love it on ribs.

[@WookieLove1]

Nice clean Kettle :-)

[@kerryc.7438]

Thanks for making and selling Mississippi grind ! My family and neighbors think I’m some kind of pit boss or something ❗️😂

[@JK-uo2jv]

Mark, I love a hit of vinegar on my ribs. I’m not a big sweet rib person. A little sweet is ok, but needs to be balanced with some heat and acid. Great rib.

[@BainsBites]

We both love Firecracker ribs! Looks so good!

[@augustemaquet1295]

Awesome looking ribs! Great video. All the best, Cheers!

[@drewchristian7110]

Outstanding my man! Definitely gonna have to make these!

[@AdamS-nv5oo]

Nice looking ribs. SNS grill looks nice, if they come out with 26m inch model....I'd probably buy

[@W.Vanderbilt]

If I pay for the shipping, could I have that Pellet Silverbac? I mean I never see you use it anymore😉 Great video as usual! Love them ribs

[@jupiter7x7]

Mouth watering delicious!

[@MichaelRei99]

What can I say? Those ribs are off the chain!!!

[@davidsummerlin334]

Man that looks good

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks!

[@GrizzAxxemann]

I love my SnS basket. It never leaves my Napoleon kettle.

[@markmcclellan3030]

I recently ordered a SNS grill but I run two racks but the bottom of the ribs looked raw. Maybe because I had two racks or because I had the digiq hooked up on the smoke hole. They did a good smoke flavor like on the drum.

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

I am impressed with it so far.

[@jpgiii85]

Nice! Now I need some ribs.

[@mitchellbedwell5620]

Killer ribs! 👊🔥

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Yes sir!! Thanks!

[@gotcheese9163]

Love my sns kettle.

[@Michaelv1105]

Love the ribs, want to try these at home. On a different note what size Boos Block do you use or recommend?

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

We use the 24"x18".. its big and heavy but gives you plenty of room for big cuts.

[@Michaelv1105]

@@SwineLifeBBQ thanks for the info been trying to decide how big I need and wanted an expert opinion.

[@michaelc6868]

Do you think thick white smoke is ok in that or a weber smokey mountain? If not, how do you go about avoiding? Thanks

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

It depends if the smoke is from lack of oxygen or a little grease dripping on the fire. I definitely do not want thick white smoke but sometimes on smaller pits it is easy to get grease to drip on the coals and that does cause a whiter smoke but does not make it taste bad.

[@NaptownLarry]

Beginner question... You didn't say what you were spritzing them with? Were you using apple juice/water, straight water, the vinegar sauce, or something else in there?

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Just water. I feel like it is the best just because it doesn’t add anything and keep the color lighter.

[@WookieLove1]

Great job Mark. Question...that smoke hole...did you think a billows would fit in there?

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

It should. thanks!!

[@ezmendez81]

it fits perfectly, I have the sns kettle ad the thermoworks billows.

[@jon316love9]

Where can your rubs be purchased from ?

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Swinelifebbq.com

[@tomjohnson8479]

Slow and sear sold separately

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Just depends if you buy the deluxe or original I think... great little add on for sure.

[@cd1982]

where can i get that mississippi grind at?

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

swinelifebbq.com

[@Garrett337]

Damn that kettle is clean lol not much use

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

It was brand new for this cook. It aint that clean anymore. LOL

[@DamionG1987]

Those are overdone to my tastes. When they fall off the bone, it's just like you cooked it in a pressure cooker all day. They needed pulled an hour sooner and rested. Seasonings look good though. I might want to order some of that.

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks!

[@Roll99Tide]

They look burnt!
