Ribs

How long do you let them sit after the dry rub goes on before cooking? :waiting:

Mine has been on for about 4 hours. Getting ready to throw it on the smoker. :cert:

I usually apply the rub, wrap them in Saran wrap, then let them sit overnight in the fridge. 4-6 hrs should be good, though.

Overnight for sure.:seasix:

If you have a freezer bag big enough, you can rub it, bag it, and add some apple cider, then suck out as much air as you can first, before putting in the cooler.:yesnod:

I knew I should have done it last night. :shots:

The wood chips were soaking at that point. Just zoned out on preparing the meat. :leaving:

Another overnight here.

Or you can be lazy, throw some season all on 'em, throw 'em in a shallow pan with some water/marinade, throw some foil over the top and cook at 250 'till they fall off the bone, slap your favorite BBQ on the top and carmalize.

Far from purist, but hella easy and about as good in most cases :D

I've been marinating overnight -- then drying them off dry rubbing and slow-cooking. Usually I will chill over night after slow-cooking, then put on the BBQ sauce and grill until warm.

Overnight. Then do a 3-2-1 smoke with a bit of mop.

I have done them without any rub and they are still good.

I usually wrap them up in plastic wrap, place in the fridge over night, take the out about an hour or so before placing on the grill and smoke for about 4 hours, then wrap them in foil and place in the oven to finish cooking them out.

If I have the time to let the rub sit on them, overnight is great. However, they seem to turn out just fine if you take the membrane off, rub some oil on them, and apply the rub and toss them on the smoker right away. Rubbing them with oil first helps because most of the ingredients in the rub is oil-soluble.

It's not that critical, and even a couple of hours it totally adequate. It also kind of depends on how your smoker smokes stuff. With my ceramic grill, you could sprinkle the ribs with a little salt and pepper and they would still be fantastic. I don't need to wrap them in foil at any point, just smoke them at 250 for five hours or so with some pecan or hickory.

:hurray: :iagree: Winner!!!


3-2-1 is the only way for me.

[CertInsaneC5]

What is this 3-2-1 you speak of?

BTW the ribs turned out great after about 3 and a half hours. The temp was higher than I usually smoke them at. I was a little worried at first. But all turned out well. :cert:

[Kerrmudgeon]

Know what? In the end, it doesn't matter too much because pig always turns out great, as long as it's not burnt or underdone. So bottom line is......

-if you have time to fool around, try all these "this is the best ever" recipes.:D

-if you don't have the time, just make sure you cook 'em low and slow till they fall off the bone.:yesnod:

:rofl: I thought that's what it meant. I usually do something very close to that. I just ran out of time this time around. They didn't fall off the bone. But close to it. :cert:

You should really check the cooks/recipes part of the Barn, it's got a couple of threads on ribs. I wish folks would use it more.:yesnod:
