NFT: Need a recipe for ribs!

Trim rib racks

Dry rub ( I use Bobby Flay's recipe)

Let stand overnight

Roast covered for 2hrs at 250 (low and slow)

Grill with sauce until warm and sauce carmelizes (I use Sweet Baby Ray's sauce with some liquid smoke stirred into it.)

Let ribs sit covered for 10 minutes.

Slice into portions

What kind?

9:15 in the morning. Man that sounds good!

great. For on a gas grill

I use St Louis cut.

Trim ribs (remove membrane)

Rub what ever you prefer. No more than 2 hours before cooking.

Cook on @ 300 covered on the unlit side. flipping to get a nice grill on both sides. 30-45 minutes

Wrap adding apple or what ever juice you prefer. Covered @ 375 30-45 minutes. Done when a slab picked up with tongs is limp.

Unwrap reduce heat to 250 saucing and flipping until caramelized. 3x every 5 min should do it. Covered.

I use Sweet Baby Ray's Honey Chipotle Sauce.

I know it's grill'n, not que'n but it's quicker and comes out good.

both are excellent. You can coat either with sauce towards the end.

Add the rub ~1 hr before you start smoking

Then cook them low and slow (~5-6 hours at 200-225):
- 1 hr with smoke (hickory, mesquite, etc)
- 2 more hrs unwrapped
- wrap in foil and cook for 2 hours
- Unwrap for the last hour (can optionally add BBQ sauce at this point)

If desired, once the ribs are wrapped, you can do the remaining cooking in the oven.

What else you cooking???


Anyway, for the Ribs. If you are making that many ribs...use an oven so you don't end up with crappy Ribs. This is not the time to experiment.

Sounds like you will need at least 6-8 racks of Ribs. I would make a Dry Rub (plenty of recipes online). For that many people I would probably go with Spare Ribs (St. Louis Style)

Remove the shiny membrane from the ribs. Apply dry rub and wrap in Aluminum Foil. Cook in 275 degree oven until meat temp hits 200 degrees (about 2-3 hours) If you want tender, fall off the bone ribs the internal temp must be 200 degrees. Remove foil and finish off on the grill. I do not put BBQ sauce on the ribs while cooking...leave it for the side

For the BBQ Sauce I have used the linked recipe. It is easy and everyone likes it.

far all I've made are hamburgers and hot dogs. And my oven is broken, so everything has to be cooked on the grill or burners.

I found a recipe for the In/Out burger that people seem to love and IMO you can't have a BBQ without hot dogs. Thinking about preparing lots of fixings for the burgers and dogs and maybe make some homemade cole slaw to go with.

was a brilliant idea! I never knew it existed, now I can't live without. It was my first time smoking ribs on my BBQ, and although they took an hour and a half longer than I expected, they came out fantastic. Thanks BBI!!!

which, I think I got through a recommendation about 10 years ago on BBI, is absolutely spectacular....

and my ribs have not been great. I am using one of the above mentioned recipes and going back to the grill for my ribs.
