Cooking Ribs
 

What's some of yalls favorite ways to cook up some ribs. I'll be cooking some soon and would like to try something new. Most likely it will on the pit or in the oven.

Post any methods you like (smoke, bbq, slow cook, oven). Thanks.

Season ribs real good with salt, black pepper, and red pepper. Start your charcoal up. Once charcoal is ready add some chunks of pecan wood and get a good smoke rolling. Put ribs on and heavy smoke for 30-45 minutes. Take off pit put in aluminum pan, pour a jar of Lud's sauce in there(have to go to browns grocery to get it) and pour a beer in too. Cover pan and put back on pit until tender. Check periodically to make sure all juice hasn't cooked out.

Do you wet the wood to make it smoke?

I have a whole jar of Luds at the house at all times.....beer too.

My wife cooks them in a pressure cooker and they are hard to beat.

I like 3-2-1 method on the smoker . 230 degrees or so. season w/ your favorite rub . 3 hours on the smoker . wrap in heavy foil and back on the smoker for 2 hrs then remove the foil and back on the smoker for 1 hour. for baby backs do the same but a 2- 1.5- .75. No sauce needed .But i will serve it on the side if you have to have it.

I don't wet the wood. But you can. I cover my pit when the wood looks like it's about to catch. And it'll smoke.

Vidrine, you must cook ribs every weekend. That's all you talk about.

I do. I always got some ribs on da pit. I love em!

Boil the ribs in seasoned beef broth then baste and stick on pit. Softest ribs you will ever eat.

Thanks for sharing

Put a rub on em and cook em slow on the pit. If I have a big enough pit I like to build the fire on one side and put the ribs on the other. Add your favorite smoking wood. I have done it with actual logs or just take some chips and wrap em in foil and cut slits so the smoke comes out. Don't use sauce till they are done

I just recently started cooking ribs. I went online and found out how to make my own dry rub that is awesome! I boil them for about 45 mins and then let them cool and put some worshire sauce on them and the dry rub and put them in the fridge over night. Then I wrap them in aluminum foil with all the marinade and cook them off to the side of the fire for about an hour. I like a ill crisp and grill marke on mine so I take them out the foil and put them over the fire for a few mins and rub them bad boys down with some sweet baby rays! Oh yeah I keep the fire about 275 on the grill

I use the 3-2-1 method also....normally smoke them about 235 degrees. I just watch for the "pull back" along the edges of the bone to know when they are ready.

Ps. I like spare ribs.

Do them this way but first coat the ribs with your favorite bbq sauce before wrapping. Next wrap in plastic then then wrap in foil. You will not loose any moisture with this proceedure. I won the bbq cook off at contraband days 2 yrs in a row with this method.

When you take them out of the pack, rinse off then pat dry.
Put whatever kind of dry rub on them you like and stick them in the fridge over night.
Next day, throw them on the pit for 15 min per side on high heat and remove.
Once cooled off, flip them bone side up and scrape off the membrane from the back.
Stick the ribs in a Reynold's Oven Bag (I use the turkey size) and wrap them tight in the bag, then wrap aluminum foil tightly around it. Make sure the foil is wrapped good or the bag will expand, this happened to me on Father's Day.
Once everything is all wrapped up, put the ribs in the oven or back on the pit and cook for 2 hours at 350 degrees.
When you remove them from the oven, slap whatever sauce you like on them and dig in!

I've followed this "recipe" 3 times and they have come out perfect every time!

Thanks guys. Gonna give em a shot.

Sweet Baby Rays is the bomb!!!! Best sauce I have ever tried.

x3 Sweet Baby Rays, regular or honey, they are both awesome. Not too expensive either.

Oh yeah! That sweet baby rays will have you licking your fingers the rest of the day! I went to talladega last year and they had a baby rays booth set up and they gave us cases of that stuff!

Yep, all I've used is some Sweet Baby Ray's. By far the best out there IMO.

Luds or Sweet Rays, who's is better??

Do y'all think it makes a big difference that type of ribs are being used?

Alabama ribs is how I cook them.. Boil in coke for 45 min finish on the pit.

I've never tried Luds but I would like to. I just buy what ever pork ribs they have on sale at Winn Dixie.

They are both good but Rays is a barbecue sauce where Luds is a marinade/basting sauce. Just depends on what your craving that day.

Here's my $.02. I like St. Louis style ribs but any kind will do really. Cheaper than baby backs but just as good.

I rub ribs generously with Slap Ya Mama seasoning and a little brown sugar. I get my fire on the pit going on one side. Put ribs over coals and get a good sear. Trick is not to have fire too close to ribs nor too hot. I wait about 20 mins from time my fire burns out and the coals turn gray. Turn them every 5 minutes to keep 'em from charring. Total time over coals is 30 mins. Move ribs to the other side of pit and cook them for another 30 mins. Bast lightly with your favorite BBQ sauce. Take off pit and put them in a double layer of heavy duty alum foil. Prior to closing foil, cover both sides in Sweet Baby Rays original sauce. Add onion slices if you want. Cook for 1.5 - 2 hours at 300. Fall off the bone tender.

**For a different taste go get some Zeas Thai sauce and use that instead of BBQ sauce. Knock your socks off.

Already planning to cook 2 racks wednesday. You can also use this same technique for chicken, pork steaks, etc.

Great, now my mouth is watering and I am hungry.
