Nothing Fancy

Not a real fancy cook but it sure taste fancy. Beef and pork ribs. Sad to say the beef ribs didn't have much meat on them. Wife picked them up at Walmart, guess that speaks for itself. I buy most of the meat and get beef ribs from the Mexican store. Beef has gotten so pricey I haven't been buying much anywhere. There were a few sales over memorial day (very few).
 Used my own homemade rub and sauce. Dry rub goes on before the cook and the sauce goes on at the end. I sauce and leave on the smoker just long enough to set the sauce. That is the way the wife like them. Happy wife, happy life.
