Pork Ribs

[SFlonghorngirl]

Dry rub or wet rub?

Along with the brisket, I am also attempting ribs.

i do baby backs dry. no sauce on them at any time. i keep it pretty simple (a little lemon pepper, garlic powder, black pepper) because smoked pork tastes pretty good without a lot of extra imo. 4.5 hours +/-. they always go over pretty well.

Dry rub ribs.

Have BBQ sauce available on the side. What time should I come over?

SFlonghorngirl, there is a spice company in Deer Park, Tx called Zach's Spice made for new people ... they offer every spice known to man and have instructions of how to prepare different meats and even beans.. avail yourself. Their brisket rub is awesome. I also use it on pork and chicken but cut it with brown sugar for the lighter meats.

Dry rub on ribs is great. Go simple. Watch the amount of salt in your dry rub.

If you'd like to try a brine, I'll recommend caliHORNia's Tres Chiles brine, under the Sweetwater Spice Co. label. It can be found at Academy and I think Whole Foods in Austin.

It's an easy process and the product is phenomenal in terms of flavor profile.

Joey knows what's up on BBQ, are you going to BBQing at the Spring game tailgate because I may have to stop by.

St. Louis cut ribs?

Mike, I won't be heading down for that. It's Easter weekend and that's a difficult sell for the Mrs, since it's a haul to get there from where I am.

St. Louis cut ribs?

Your choice. I like baby backs, if I'm given a choice, but St Loius are just fine.

You're really going all-in with this smoke aren't you?

 

[SFlonghorngirl]

Yes I am. Trying to be well rounded person.

I laid tile in the bathroom earlier. That's a bitch. I got so dirty.

I like dry, but my daughters prefer them wet so I usually do a couple racks with sauce (their idea of perfection is so sweet it's really a cross between meat and candy - yuck!).

Never hurts to do some wet just for variety.

Baby backs are the favorite of most non-bbq people and probably your safest best. Pretty and uniform, with nice white meat and very little to trim.

Jeff do you de-membrane either cut before smoking?

Jeff do you de-membrane either cut before smoking?

Yes. Both

Would you recommend foil or butcher paper for the ribs?

And about 2-3 hrs for ribs right?

The easiest and pretty much most foolproof way for ribs is the 3 2 1 method

I tried tiling in my master bathroom in my house in Austin. Never finished, had to hire someone to complete it before I sold that house. I may have missed this but what are you using as a smoker? My best friend from UT has a Big Green Egg here in the Bay Area. I was using a cheap smoker from Home Depot.
