My traditional rib cooking process is removing membrane, dry rub, wrap in foil.... Bake for 1.5-2 hours at 275 or so... The unwrap and finish/sear on the charchoal/wood pit outside. They are super tender and get the "pit" flavor on a sear.

Im not a "sauce" guy, so my ribs are dry rubbed only. We keep an assortment of sauces here: Dreamland, Dancing Pig, & Sweet Baby Rays (wifes). They are served on the side when we "bbq."

We have a guest in town who requested ribs for dinner. I am considering doing the entire cooking on my primo today, but am a little skeptical due to the consistantcy of my previous results.

I still havent decided if I will change my routine tonight or not. Why mess with what works? Other than the idea of it all being done on the pit... Im not so sure.


Side dishes with them? Ive considered Homeade 4 Cheese Mac. We have one more bag of frozen homegrown green beans. A potato salad is always a winner w ribs. Not much of a baked beans guy, so gonna pass on that.

What other ideas should I consider? Thinkin about it over my coffee. Will be 4 adults and 1 kido.

I was going to suggest coleslaw or greens, or anything crunchy and kinda tart (Apple n celery slaw, for ex). Ribs are rich n fatty, you want to balance that with some bright, clean flavors.

My dad coats his ribs in mustard, then dry rub IIRC...wrap in foil, etc etc.

They always come out amazing.

You answered your own question here.

As for sides, I like baked beans, but you said you're not a baked beans guy. I always knew something was wrong with you, but please do not ruin this for the other eaters. Baked beans with ribs are a must. Open your heart and think of others during this opportunity for you to shine.

You can compliment your ribs and beans with Ball's cole slaw and a nice potato salad or even a stuffed potato dish. I would also strongly consider what your appetizer will be. You can create a dish out of some of your frozen duck breasts and add some smoked sausage. Your main course is only as strong as the appetizer treats.

What you say you do sounds good. It is a method you trust, producing food you like.

Why change?

To criticize - I like butter toasted diagonally cut bread, as evidenced in my many photo posts. I'd add that to what you have suggested.

And cold Beer. I'd add cold beer.
