S. Raichlen Project Smoke book - recipe clarification/confirmation
I'm looking at the recipe for cherry-glazed baby back ribs found on p.95 of Steven Raichlen's "Project Smoke" book, which calls for 4 racks of BB ribs (total weight of 8-10 lbs.)
The recipe says "Sprinkle 1 to 1-1/2 tablespoons of the rub on both sides of the ribs."
I'm guessing this means 1 to 1-1/2 tablespoons of rub for each of the 4 racks (so 4 to 6 tablespoons total), no?
TIA!

I agree with you. Each rack gets 1.5 TBSP.Large BGE - McDonald, PA

Never trust anything Raichlen says or prints.
Or at least give considerable thought to his recommendations.

If Raichlen is suggesting it, I wouldn't waste time asking what he meant, I'd just run the other way.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

I've got a bunch of Raichlens books and have enjoyed most everything I tried from them.
Never really understood the Raichlen hate but cest la vie.

Welcome aboard and enjoy the journey. Above all, have fun.
This doesn't sound like your first go-round with ribs. Regardless, just lay on the rub til it looks right. Recipes have to provide portions and I get that but trying to assess how much of a rub (as long as too much won't ruin the flavor (think something quite hot)) to use is a crap-shoot.
BTW- I would bet that even 1 1/2 T's per rack is selling it short but I am not reading the recipe. Trust your gut feel. FWIW-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -

Or maybe not, perhaps they are still on his website.

He (or his marketing team) was using my pics and @Dyal_SC and attaching his name to them. We both used to be pretty active members on his BBQ forum. I've since gone and deleted all my pictures from that forum. I can't remember if they ended up taking them down or gave us credit, but he sent me 2 of his books as an apology. I don't even think I ever looked at them. Anybody want to buy two of his books?Rowlett, Texas

I dont hate the guy...but no es bueno what his people did to your intellectual property
He makes some pretty good stuff on the pbs shows, sometimes coming accross as a little weird and not a bbq guy but overall i enjoy his stuff. Havent gotten too many great ideas from him...some good ones but not great. He has used the BGE too so thats good... -

DVR all his shows. Just watched one on making fish dip with smoked red snapper. Going to be making this.

I've only made 2 Raichlen recipes, so maybe you guys have a lot more experience with his recipes than I, but one of them was really good, and the other one is my all-time favorite shrimp recipe, and when I made it (and it wasn't as good as usual, because it was grilled on a gasser at a rented beach house) for family last summer, the girlfriend of one of my grandsons said, "I think this is the best shrimp I've ever had!" I like it so much I bought the book it's in (Barbecue Bible), and there's a lot of great-looking stuff there. Again, I've only tried one other recipe from that book (Romy's Ribs), but it was really good. -
I have never read his books. My skill sets are:
1) Fire up egg.
2) Put whatever I'm cooking on the grate.
3) Wait for successful toothpick test.
4) Serve.

I probably should give some of his recipes a try some time, if for nothing else than breaking the monotony. I tend to do steaks, ribs and butts.
Something new might be a welcome change.

I've enjoyed the few recipes of his that I've tried. I found with the BBQ Bible the back stories were more interesting to me than the food (eg: Tri tip). Between watching BBQ U as well as Project Smoke, the disconnect between what was on the screen and in the recipe started making me go o.O - that and there was a lot of fuss in some of the recipes. Not Keller level fussy, but still it seemed to be an awful lot more than was necessary (especially sauces).Near San Francisco in California

I've only seen him a few times on TV, and his "vibe" seemed odd for a BBQ guy, really different from any BBQ guy I've ever seen on TV, or the few BBQ places I've been to in VA or NC. But a bunch of his recipes sound good to me, and the only two I've tried were really good -- one was fantastic! So, so far, I'm a fan. That Gulf Coast Shrimp recipe of his is just killer. I'm looking forward to trying some more of his recipes.
