It went in the smoker at 6:45.  I am cooking with lump charcoal, mesquite and hickory wood chunks (about 3 to 1 respectively) and soaked mesquite and cherry wood chips (about 4 to 1).

Made a simple mop sauce of:
cider vinegar
worcestershire sauce
Frank's hot sauce
1 clove of garlic, sliced
a pinch of the BBQ rub
a little horseradish
a little crushed red pepper

Will mop the next time I add coals.

More pics please.
Are you going to try burnt ends?

 

Last pic until done, I just foiled it.  That should help it cook faster and more evenly.

I prefer Pales for drinking but I feel like all that hops doesn't do so well in cooking.  I think porters & brown ales make for a better flavor.  I'm also partial to more of a dalmatian rub w/equal parts salt & black pepper, but add most of that other stuff, too.  Have not tried coffee, will definitely give that a shot.  I also like to use mustard powder.  Oh & pecan wood, but that's pretty hard to find around here.

 

All that being said this looks damned tasty!

Pecan wood would be overpowered by the mesquite, but I have used it in pork.

Mesquite does overpower most everything. Cherry seems to work ok, though. I like hickory with everything, seems to kinda balance the other stuff out somehow.

Kudos man. Never had the stones to try a brisket. Too afraid I'd screw it up and waste a lot of $. I stick to ribs.

It's done.
 
Tender as butter.  Juicy.  The bark has a nice bite to it.  (No pun intended, :lol: )

The funny thing is my ribs are my worst BBQ item, although my last couple have been pretty good.

Nice job.  Makes me hungry.  I guess I'll have to go get my fix on this year, the first Saturday in August.  Pork, Mutton, etc...  ...and yes, there is a metric butt load of politicians to raise the temperature even further.  If you or anyone else decides to go, leave Friday.  Friday is the fish fry at the KofC Hall ( I think it is 5 pm ) and fresh vegetables, fish, pies, cakes, etc...  Kind of like a buffet style where you can go back and back again for more food.  Saturday is more of the same thing but on Saturday they will serve pork and mutton BBQ.  Take a trip over to the BBQ pits ( Follow your nose ) and let the drooling begin...  The only places to stay relatively cool out of the hot weather is in the Bingo pavilion where there are large fans circulating the air.
