Rib Recipe Please

[grisell]

Sounds like the Americans you met at the Pole knew nothing about barbecuing. Still - must have been an awesome place to go!

No, I worked there. Can't recommend it. It's an ice desert. They told us on the intoduction conference that we didn't need any survival training: if you get lost around the South Pole, you're dead anyhow... Would never have gone as a tourist. -35 C + windchill makes about -52 C. Sun up 24 hours. Hard work. Bad pay.

Fascinating pics!

Back to ribs.....here are the ones I cooked yesterday:



Big fat racks - one with a cajun type rub and one nekkid.



Cooking away on the WSM. This is an excellent smoker - it can handle a lot of food and run overnight unattended. Temperature stability is excellent.



After 5 hours cooking at about 245F. Mopped with a light tomato based sauce for the last 30 minutes just to glaze a little.



And the final result.......lovely and juicy, but falling off the bone . Perfect! No smoke ring on these as I just used charcoal and no smoking wood.

ok guys,

the last pics took away all of my resistance.

i've been away for a couple of weeks, lots of work, got married, honeymoon and so on. in these weeks i started thinking about the ribs question. i'm going to barbecue ribs (low and slow ofcourse) instead of using a hot marinade. they look a lot nicer that way.

one last thing: yhe recipe i gave earlier in this post still is a good one. i keep on using it in the restaurants i work in. i'm only going to bbq the ribs on my own caterings.

greets from the hot netherlands

ADM,
Where do you buy your ribs from? I never seen that much meat on a rack this side of the Atlantic.

I get mine from Rawlings butchers in Cranleigh, Surrey......I've known the owner for over twenty years, so he keeps nice racks for me! If you're ever passing through, you may or may not be lucky....they don't have them every day.

Those racks are what he calls "Plain Cut". I think normally they'd take off the top layer of meat and chuck it in with the pork trim for sausages, then cut off the cartiligous (sp?) bit at the bottom and trim the rack down to be baby backs......but that all adds to the price and reduces the amount of meat.

I like 'em this way....

I didn't have anything to say about these, they just make me happy.

Happy Independence Day!

2 racks Spare ribs.
Rub.
2 Tbsp sea salt
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp black pepper
1//2 tsp Jamaican allspice.
1 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp hot mustard powder
1/4 tsp mace
1 tsp chipotle chili

Combine dry ingredients
Remove the inner membrane from the ribs by inserting a table knife or other instrument underneath. Once you have a small section loosened use a paper towel or kitchen towel to grasp membrane and remove.
Apply rub generously and wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours.

To grill
Fill chimney starter with lump charcoal of your choice and light while soaking a generous amount of the wood chips of your choice (I prefer mountain mahogany or mesquite). Set your grill up for indirect grilling and place ribs in the center or cool part of the grill. Add soaked chips to charcoal and set grill vent over the ribs. Cook for 1 1/2 hours. When the ribs are fall apart tender and meat has pulled away fom the rib ens about 1/4 inch they are ready.

Apply the BBQ sauce of your choice if you are so inclined and enjoy

Thats wonderful but then while you were on honeymoon you started thinking??

in these weeks i started thinking about the ribs question.

Okay we forgive you for thinking of ribs while you were on honeymoon seeing that it was to the advantage of the forum.But right now I do not think you are thinking ribs I think you are thinking World Cup?? "Die Kaap is weer Hollands?"

Sorry Boet next time, it was a case of who scored first.Pehaps we should have got "Hienz" to ride around the field on his moterbike blowing his vuvuzela those Spaniards would not have stood a chance.

If the butcher cuts the ribs with lots of meat adhering, what's the other side, never pictured here, look like? What's its intended use?
