Ok, men - school me on ribs

[Huntingwhale]

God Jesus, don't you dare boil those ribs. Please don't.

How I cook mine is I buy some Jack Daniel's woodchip smoke.



Loosely place a couple handfulls into tinfoil, lightly wrap and poke holes in it. Put these on your grill about 45 minutes before you place the meat on the grill. Heat it up to about 400 just on the one side where the foil wapper is placed. Leave the other side off.

Once the foil bag is lightly smoking, time to put the ribs on. I turn my grill to the minimum setting, only on one side. I put the meat on the side that is off. I lightly sprinkle it with jewish kosser salt.



I'd also like to add that IMO Kosher salt is the best seasoning...for anything on the grill. It brings out the flavor so much and I never really need to use any sauce for anything, just the salt.

I let the meat cook on low for about 2-3 hours. If I put sauce onit, I do it at about the 2/3 mark, otherwise if you put it on earlier it just burns. But with that Kosher salt, I don't really ever need any.

Then cover it in foil for a bit, then chow down.

Now I want ribs so bad.

I can see how getting into the whole smoking meat thing is addicting. A little late in the season to get super interested but I definitely want to try my hand at it in the future.

Did I say roast? Ok ok so I was just ribbing you

Glad to hear everyone liked them.

Old's Place, Competition Ribs Article --- this is where I got my start:

Since then I've made many ribs, and even taken courses from BBQ guys-- and now tend to do a charcoal cook instead of the Bradley Electric, but you could get away with using an oven. You can always refine your technique, and your rub etc etc., but I find this recipe gets you started and its very simple. Remember FTC matters. And remember your ribs will likely "stall" for a long time before done at the same temperature while the meat bastes in its own connective tissues while they melt away.

Going to do up some this weekend because of this thread! Awesome!

If anyone feels like fighting the madding crowds, Save-On Foods has St Louis style ribs on for ridiculous cheap today. I got 1.4 kg for $3.00 at the Panorama location this afternoon. I don't know if that was a 'just for today at Panorama' price, or what, since the Panorama location just opened this morning. Also, they're already frozen, if that is a problem for anyone. Didn't bother me any so I grabbed a pack. It was the last one left. We passed people who easily had 10 pkgs in their carts, if not more.

Picked up a pack of beef ribs on my way home from the office today. Going to smoke them tomorrow in the rain and snow...

You should have switched carts when they weren't looking

Yeah but then I'd have had to stand in the lineup that stretched halfway through the store. No thanks.

Oklahoma Joe's is my favorite as well, so I'm embarrassed to ask this, but does anyone know whether TGIFridays or Hooters has less terrible ribs?

I'm living in Bogota without a proper kitchen at the moment, so I think those may be my only options. I really shouldn't have opened this thread.

i'd just like to say I went out and bought 2 packs of ribs, all because of this thread.
