Honey BBQ Baby Backs?

Whats up all?
I am looking to try some sort of honey bbq baby back ribs this weekend and was looking for any suggestions. I have been applying Dijon Mustard the night before along with a standard rib and letting them sit over night. Ive used the 3-2-1 method with the foil and have been using apple juice inside the foil pocket. My ribs have been coming out extremely tasty and very tender but still with a little cling to them, just the way I like them. I was wondering if it was a good idea to substitute Honey instead of the mustard....has anyone ever done something like this? Also any suggestions are greatly appreciated...Thanks Stilts

I would think the high sugar content of the honey would cause it to burn.

If you want to add a nice glaze to your ribs I would recommend Roxy's Rib Glaze as a finishing glaze.

1. You are cooking BBs to long if they cook for 6 hours, unless your temp is @ 200 or lower.
2. I use clove honey and I apply it directly over the ribs as I am foiling them, be generous and stack your slabs on top of one another in one piece of foil. After @ 1.5 hours remove the slabs from the foil and put the reserve fluid in a nonreactive bowl and use as a baste. You can add some cane sugar to sweeten. Brush on every 20 minitues or so for the last hour

I used a paprika based rub.

megla- How do you prepare your ribs before you put them in the smoker?

Alien BBQ- That recipe and food looks very good, Im assuming that recipe would work fine with BB as well.

Yes.

What I have found that works well on ribs is glaze at the end or make your glaze thin and build up as you go.

Well, if your cooking back ribs for 6 hours they are over cooked indeed. 5 hours is plenty for back ribs.

You can try foiling after 2 hours and add a bit of honey with the ribs along with some JD when you foil and return to the cooker for an hour and have a nice glaze with honey ready for when they come out of the foil.

You do have to be careful with honey as it burns pretty easy but it can add some awesome flavour to the ribs.

This is all that I use and how I cook the Baby back ribs. They are very tasty. I hope this gives you another idea or helps you.

my very own receipe........Only for back rib never tried on anyother meat
this is good for about 2 slabs

1.-mixing bowl prep-
1/4 cup your favorite bbq sauce
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup jack daniels "gotta have the jack"

2.this is a glaze/marinade. mix all in bowl and brush onto baby backs
3.then rub with a well rounded rib rub. don't be affriad to go alittle heavy on rub.
4.wrap the back ribs in foil 1 slab to a foil wrap, put in fridge over night. Keep remaining glaze and put in fridge.
5.Next morning.... fire up smoker put on back rib at 250 to 300 degrees while in smoker open foil slightly to pour in remaning glaze about 6-8 tablespoons per baby back rack. Leave foil open for 2 hours.
6.Close foil after 2 hours then finish off the cooking process untill bones pull easily from meat. Total time usually 5 hrs. if low and slow.
7.Pull off and let stand till cool enough to eat.
*Tip: you can let the fol stay open longer if desired and add more glaze if you desire.

I have never gone wrong with this and I cater many things that require a special request for these and have had nothing but compliments. Let me know what you think if you ever try this. Just drop a line or pm me Very Happy
