How do you prepare and cook your ribs?

dry rub. smoker for 4-5 hours.

1st I boil them for 2 hours until the meat is almost falling off the bones. Then I put them on my gas grill for 30 minutes to crisp them up. I brush on a little Hunts original BBQ Sauce... Awesome!













































































I kid. What the first guy said.

Microwave for 15 minutes, then turn over, microwave for another 10.

Then, into a pot of crab boil for 30.

From there they go back into the microwave for 10 minutes.

Then back into the crab boil for another 30.

From here I do one of two things: Microwave or NuWave oven for 5 min.

BBQ sauce in goes in a bowl for ribs to dip in.

Generally, 3-2...skip the 1.

Here is how I do mine.

1) Take the membrane off the back of the ribs.

2) Liberally apply a dry rub.

3) Prepare a smoker or grill using indirect heat to be between 225 and 275 degrees.

4) Cook ribs for 3 hours uncovered.

5) Cook ribs for 1 hour covered in foil

6) Cook ribs an additional hour until they are done.

To tell doneness, pick up the ribs with some tongs from the end to where the end of the tongs are in the middle of the rack. If the ribs bend almost at a 90 degree angle without breaking then they are done.

The bone twist method of doneness.

I got this recipe from a cooking magazine. It's a cheat and I may get crushed for posting this. But people love these damn ribs, the meat is super tender and it's easy as hell.

Preheat oven to 350. Rub ribs with a mix of kosher salt, dry mustard, paprika, cayenne pepper and fresh cracked black pepper. Double wrap racks of ribs in aluminum foil. Bake for 2 or 3 hours. Drain and reserve juices from the ribs. Let ribs cool and put them in the fridge overnight, still in foil.
Take ribs out of fridge and grill them on a medium high heat for 10 minutes or so. Mix reserved juices with equal parts barbecue sauce and baste ribs while cooking.
