I usually find a random rub recipe off recipe.com or somewhere, and modify it to suit my taste. Then cook it low & slow.

Make sure you put the sauce on at the very end though.

  1.  remove the membrane
  2. dry rub (I use cajun seasoning, brown sugar, and some other spices)
  3. allow to sit overnight in fridge with rub in place
  4. Smoke low and slow (but you know that). they probably won't take as long as a whole brisket would.

I agree with ride's recipe with one addition... I find it makes them very moist and tenderizes the meat.
  1. remove the membrane
  2. dry rub (I use cajun seasoning, brown sugar, and some other spices) <--pararika as well
  3. allow to sit overnight in fridge with rub in place
  4. put in a brownie pan with about 1/4" of cocal-cola, orange juice or other acidic liquid in the bottom.  Cover with foil and cook about 4 hours at 250... then
  5. Smoke low and slow (but you know that). they probably won't take as long as a whole brisket would (baste with a light covering of BBQ sauce occasionally.  You want a little char on the edges.
I've been told I make better ribs than most restaurants. Mmmm, maybe I need to make ribs next weekend...

Slow cook if possible.

I have done numerous sauces on my own - but the best is Sweet Baby Ray's - hands down!

Then:

5.  Wrap the ribs in foil with apple juice, brown sugar and some honey.  Put them back in the smoker for an hour to let them steam in the juice.
6.  Remove them from the foil, baste them with sauce and then put them back in the smoker for another hour to let the sauce carmelize.

This is how we do (did) them in competition.

Subject: RE: Barbeque Ribs recipes?

What do you have available to cook them in?

I use two methods, I have a smoker which I really like, I use a rub that we've made ourselves and cook them in an offset smoker for between 4 to 6 hrs then they are ready to eat.

Another method I use is to put the rub on and steam them in the over for about 1 to 2 hrs, depends on the size of the thing you are  using to steam then and the amount of ribs you have. I'm guessing you have about 6 racks of ribs. Don't stack them on top of each other use something to separate them (steamed or smoked) I judge the doneness by how the meat starts to pull away from the bone. I let the steamed ribs rest for a bit then put them on a grill gas or charcoal (coal oh sweet polluting coal,,,,, it's the best) just to give them a little caramelized  and some grill marks. I usually do the meat side first then put some sauce on it after I turn them over. I'll usually cut them in half before grilling

 

Her is our rub recipe,,,, the Pammy Rub or the Vegas Lucky 7 11 Rub

1/2 cup light brown sugar tightly packed

3 tablespoons kosher salt

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 tablespoon garlic powder/granules

1 tablespoon Chipolatas seasoning

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 tablespoon paprika

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon cummin

1/2 teaspoon rubbed thyme

for what you have you probably should double this 1/2 cup = t tablespoons

 

enjoy, baby back ribs are one of my favorites, i don't know for fact but I bet a lot beer than a club seal sandwich

In my smoker, I follow a 3-2-1 method for spare ribs:

After the rub, etc. of your choosing, three hours on rack at around 225°, then wrap in foil for two hours, then remove the foil before finishing for the final hour.

I've heard with baby backs it's better to go 2-2-1.

Clubbed baby seal ribs take significantly less time.

Interesting, we've always done 4-1-1 with larger ribs, but I'm sure you're right that you could do 2-2-1 (or 3-1-1) with baby backs.  I'm not much a fan of girly ribs, though!

It helps to break down the connective tissue in the meat.  Makes them very tender.

This Jack Daniel's sauce is one of the best I've ever had. It has a flavor that's sorta a cross between BBQ and terryaki - sorta sweet and tangy. You could add some cayenne pepper to spice it up a bit.


Jack's All-Purpose BBQ Glaze

½ cup Jack Daniel's® Tennessee Whiskey
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup ketchup
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Makes about 2 cups.

Venture Industries,
Subject: RE: Barbeque Ribs recipes?

here's the method for GREAT pork ribs:

Brine + dry rub + low temp + slow cooking + smoke = great ribs.

everyones talked about rub, and low and slow, and smoke so I'm going to suggest you brine your pork for 24 hours prior to cooking. 

Use a simple brine which is sugar/salt mixture in a liquid.  I use apple juice enough to completelly submerge your ribs in, then I mix in brown sugar and kosher salt.  You want the salt content so that the liquid tastes vaguely like the ocean.

Unless you have a spare frig with lots of space I suggest pouring the brine mixture in a large cooler, put ribs in and dump a bag of ice in.  Let it sit for 24 hours.  Remove ribs, pat dry the ribs then apply your dry rub.  Smoke, then cook using indirect low heat. 

Eat.  Eat. Eat.

Damn...I must be a lazy chef.

I talk the ribs, slather them in my favorite BBQ sauce, place them in a pan with about 1/4 inch water on the bottom, cover with foil, place in oven at 350 for about 2 hours.  Move to grill, brown them on each side, add a bit more BBQ sauce while on grill to get the grill lines, serve.  Falls off the bones clean.

The other methods above are all spot on. I smoke mine with hickory, and baste in an apple vinegar/apple cider mix. Usually 2 hours on a charcoal grill (baste every 1/2 hour to keep them moist) does it for a full rack of pork ribs. Important to remove the membrane. Take the time to remove ALL of the membrane. That's not a part to halfa$$.

Also, watch the tips where the skinny part of the bone comes out. It's a good way to tell if you are cooking too slow or too fast. (sometimes, temp on a charcaol grill can get hairy). When the ribs are done, you want the bone to show about 1/4 inch. If you are cooking too hot, the meat will pull back but the ribs will be real dark and it won't match up with your time expectations.

Good luck and enjoy! I might have to get some Smithfield ribs for next weekend.

Our last ribs were too large slabs of pork ribs. 
Dry rub, rest for a bit, 30 minutes on each side on a hot grill, place in baking pan, cover with foil, bake at 250 for several hours.  In the meantime, I used standard BBQ sauce, about 1/3 of the bottle, added beer, liquid smoke, red pepper flakes, dijon mustard and some worcestershire, shook and used as a basting sauce for the ribs about every hour or so.

Delicious!!!
