| Skewer You All -- My Take On Smoking Ribs |
| 2011-10-02 17:17:22 |
Hey guys, I appreciate all the feedback, both positive and negative. I don't even really mind the folks who are just trying to leave their link. There have been a lot of surprisingly critical comments about how long I put the ribs in the oven, so I just wanted to put a little note up.
The entire timing process of smoking ribs depends a lot on how many racks you are smoking at once. This is not so important in the smoker as it is in the oven phase, where the amount of heat absorbed by the food depends on the quantity of food. I smoked four to six racks at once and so that is why I must slow cook them in the oven for that long... if you smoke only one or two racks then yes, please reduce accordingly.
Also, there have been comments about the whole idea of using an oven to finish off the ribs. Again, this is only one way of doing it and is handy for winter time and busy people or folks that cannot just sit outside all day and night. I realize that ovens are not available at smoking ...

Bacon Smoked Ribs
If you enjoy smoked ribs but are looking for something different, then you will find this recipe to be a nice alternative to the normal smoked ribs recipes out there because it gives you a whole new flavor to your barbecue, but it does so without the shock value of some of these wilder combinations such as the citrus items plus barbecued ribs.
Many like the taste of two extremes of the taste buds being combined, but for others it just ruins the ribs. In this bacon smoked ribs recipe, we get to combine one pork product with another similar pork product and so the two tastes tend to compliment one another pretty well without going over the top. And, let's face the facts here: it's bacon. You cannot go wrong with bacon anything. You could make bacon scented trash bags and people would buy them. (All you aspiring inventors out there can take that idea for free, just pay shipping and handling).
For this smoked ribs recipe, ...

Without the right tools – from equipment to seasoning – you’ll never be fully satisfied with the outcome of your spare ribs, feeling that something is missing every time. Here are some things to always have on hand when deciding it’s time for smoking ribs and enjoying a backyard barbecue.
Mustard – Yellow mustard is a necessary part of creating the most flavorful rack of ribs around.

Some people will opt for a mustard-based rub, skipping the step of basting the meat with mustard first. However, this is not required....

| Smoked Ribs : Oven |
| 2010-12-28 22:04:58 |
Hey we all hate oven ribs so let's get started on learning how to cook them! Let's assume that it is the dead of winter and smoking ribs outdoors is impossible because it has snowed at least seventeen feet and we are blocked in. Otherwise, you should smoke ribs outside because indoor oven ribs just don't cut it. Even if you can partially smoke the ribs either in your smoker or on a novice gas grill, then that is better than the oven because the ribs oven version leaves virtually zero smoky taste. What you will end up with are mediocre ribs, but with a good enough barbecue sauce you can let it pass.
First step for Ribs: Oven Version
You will need 1 or 2 racks of fresh pork ribs. Wash ribs in cold water. Do no use soap. I have to say these things. Pat dry with clean paper towels. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Peel the membrane off of the underside of the ribs racks. The easiest way to do this is to get it started in one corner ...

Here is a quick and easy to follow BBQ sauce recipe for BBQ ribs and will also work nicely for your other barbecue foods such as barbecue hamburgers, barbecue chicken, barbecue baby back rib, or barbecue brisket. It is a good crowd-pleasing recipe for your neighborhood smoked ribs party this summer.

Nothing is more frustrating than reading through the recipe ingredient list and dis...

| How Long to Smoke Ribs |
| 2010-03-15 20:47:14 |
Many people want to know how long to smoke ribs. This really depends on how you set up your grill or smoker. The main idea when smoking ribs is to allow as much smoke to penetrate the ribs without letting too much heat through so the amount of time that you let them smoke depends on how much smoke and how much heat is getting to the meat. If you have a traditional side-mounted firebox and you have your ribs smoking on the far side of the fire, then usually they will be smoky enough after six to nine hours. However, if you are going to use the 2-step method that I mention in smoking ribs, then five to six hours of smoking is plenty as far as how long to smoke ribs.
I try to dampen the heat even more by placing some kind of barrier between the firebox and the meat chamber and this also can effect how long to smoke ribs. I mentioned this in another post : the kind of bricks with holes in them work especially well because they diffuse a good portion of the heat (they absorb the heat) whi...
