Yesterday I completed an appetizer experiment.
1.) I trimmed a rack of spare ribs ($1.97/lb at Safeway) into St. Louis style. I gave the skirt and riblets to my daughter for her family.
2.) I ripped it down the middle with a 20 dollar Harbor freight Sawzall fitted with a food grade stainless steel blade.
3.) I cut it into individual ribettes, then and rinsed and dried them.
4.) I seasoned them with kosher salt and let them brine in the fridge for a couple hours.
5.) I smoked them on a pellet grill loaded with Pit Boss Competition pellets at the smoke setting for 2 1/2 hours.
6.) I rolled them in umami powder, black pepper, garlic powder, and Killer Hogs The BBQ Rub.
7.) I sous vided them at 165F for 12 hours.
8.) I iced them in the bags and and tossed them into the fridge. This is the end of the pre-party prep stage.
9.) Two days later, I took them out of the bags and blasted them with a 2000F propane blow torch.
10.) I rolled them in Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce and gave them another quick blast with the torch.
Do I need to tell you I will never give up eating meat?
That sounds delicious! And my favorite BBQ sauce too.

That was your mistake. Use any old blade and the rustier the better. And use a wood blade not a hacksaw blade .... lol lol lol
