(SIC) Ribs (Tutorial)

(SIC) BBQ · Posted: Oct 29 2005 Post subject: (SIC) Ribs (Tutorial)

Well there has been alot of talk around here lately about ribs and all the myths and methods people use so I figured I would put together a detailed tutorial of "My" method and maybe some other guy's will do the same so we have a nice collection of tutorials for Q'in the wonderful rib.

First I remove the membrane by slipping a filet knife under the membrane along the first bone on the thin side.

Then with a paper towel I grab the membrane and pull evenly back to the wide side.

Then with my filet knife I make shallow slits in the meat between each bone. (It helps my paste and rub flavors to get in the meat and it also helps the meat tenderize.)

Now I prepare my paste and dry rub.

Paste:

Minced Garlic
Chopped Onion
Black Pepper
Dark Brown Sugar
Olive Oil
Apple Cider Vinegar
Coca-cola

Dry Rub:

Spanish Paprika
Black Pepper
Red Pepper Flakes
Ground Mustard
Corriander
Grey Salt

Paint the back side of the ribs.

Pat them with dry rub.

Flip them over and paint-n-pat the top side.

I put enough on the top to cover the fat stripes.(If you can still see white there's not enough rub) Smile

Then I cover them with plastic wrap and put them in the fridge over night.

To be continued tomorrow.

Jason

Sorry to keep you waiting... I was caught up in a whirlwind of sh*t today and couldn't get them on. I ended up eating a sub, now that's a kick in the sack when you have been thinking of Q for 2 days. Anyway come hell or high water they will be on the Q tomorrow and I will be licking my fingers by 4:00.

Yep those are BB's. I think 4 hours is a perfect baseline for BB's, I usually end up going about 5 hours with mine because I use a pretty low temp for the first 2 hours.... plus the BB's from my butcher have a monster thick crown on top. Smile

Ok the ribs are done and they were perfect, actually I think they are illegal in 22 states Laughing

Anyway here is the rest of the tutorial.

Fire up Bessy using royal oak and a blend of mesquite and hickory

Tossed the ribs on when the temp at the grate was 125 deg.

Keep the grate temp just about 200 deg for the first 2 hours.

After the first hour.

After 2 hours in the smoke they are ready for a foil wrap.

I wrap them pretty tight and cut slits on all four sides, I don't want to steam them... just help with the tenderness.

All wrapped up and on the Q.

Now with the foil I bring the temp up to 225 deg for 1 hour.

After 1 hour they are ready to come out of the foil and back into the smoke to tighten up the bark.

Out of the foil I bring the temp to around 250 deg.

30 mins out of the foil and they are looking good.

After 30 mins I hit with a coat of sauce 3 times every 1 mins.

Done to perfection.

[b]The Meat is just right, a slight tug and the bone comes clean.

Well thats how I do ribs in the backyard.

Thanks for reading.

Jason

SIC(K):

You have yet again lived up to your reputation for some fine looking BBQ and excellent photo's. Though you are not using a "traditional" smoker, you have adapted to the situation with some level of skill. I do believe it is a testiment that its not what you use but how well you learn to use what ya got.

Those are some of the nicest lookin back ribs. Great job dude!!

Thanks alot Roxy, I do love running my Q but I have been working on plans to convert one of them into a smoker this winter. I'm going to post the plans I have in the cookers section to try and get some advice.
