Smoked Ribs - Monday May 6 ( absolutely no rain on smoking day )
My first time smoking ribs. I have watched the pros on you tube all winter and kind of learned something from all of them. They go to great lengths to smoke ribs, so I am not cutting any corners.
The weather calls for around 21 C, so not too cold so get r done... I am here alone since Elsie and Grace are in Florida ( Yippy Yahoo!! ). Mice made a home in my half bag of charcoal in the shed. tossing it out of course. Glad I bought another bag. No more storing anything in sheds that are smoking related. Yup, raining on Sunday. Better be sunny tomorrow. It is.
Total Time is around 4 hours.
Method of smoking is all in my binder. Refer to that along with your Chimney Starter instructions.
Ingredients
2 or 3 ribs.
Chris's Rib Rub
BBQ sauce ( any kind )
Rum
Beer
Baked Potatoes
Apple Juice in spray bottle
Butcher Paper
Foil
Kingsford Charcoal
SMOKING DAY
Setting up around 10 am. Bright sunshine, a surprise for sure around here. Had to buy some wood chunks that I thought I had but can't find. Bought some. I forgot to spritz them. Too much Rum.
LEFT OVER RIBS
Heated some up in the oven at 250F for 30-40 minutes. Not dry and tasted pretty good. These didn't have a lot of meat on them compared to Costco ribs. I definitely have to buy the rib rack from HD to make more than 2 ribs on the smoker. Especially the ribs from Costco. Even so, I may have to cut them a bit so they can even fit properly. After that, do not stray from this recipe and smoking times. This is just where you want to be. Still, clean up is time consuming. I used the middle grate when I didn't need to. I cleaned it but not like it was brand new. No matter now, just don't use it again unless you are smoking something on it that needs more heat.
P.S. Try not to get loaded when you smoke ribs. You are too old to do that anymore...but I did...
I am changing my smoke times and they are a little over 4 hours. I can go longer though. Should of gone longer.
