  • Beast,[p]Here is one way I do them.[p]Pork, Baby Back, Richard

    Dawgtired,I like to rub them the night before with whatever rub I am in the mood for. Set up large, indirect with a drip pan of beer or water at 225F with a vertical holder. Cut 3-4 slabs in half and set in the rack. After about 2-3 hours spritz with orange juice when in a sweet mood, Soy and water when in an oriental one, apple juice and water or worchestershire when in a different mood. Spritz every 30 minutes or so. I do not remove and wrap in foil as many do, don't ask me why not just never do. Probably too messy. Sometimes I will sauce the last 45 minutes and some times will just take off after 5-6 hours and let everyone sauce themselves. Some like hot sauce, vinegar, or mustard etc. Depending on the crowd.

    Beast,
    First of all let me say this......I am no rib eggspert, but I have heard mention of a 3-1-1 method of cooking[p]3 hours indirect at about 225-240, then wrap in foil w/some of your favotite liquid for an hour, then back out of the foil indirect for a hour to firm up a bit[p]after taking out of the foil hold onto those things 'cause they gonna want to fall apart[p]last 20 or so minutes put on your sauce if you like[p]good luck[p]JAn

    Beast,
    I like to start out at 225 for a couple hours, bump up to 250 for a couple. Finish at 275 until they bend in half when picking up. Pull, sauce and put back on for about 20 minutes.
    That is for baby backs. You didn't mention, what kind of ribs you had.[p]Mike

    Beast,
    Put the drip pan on the plate setter. Plate setter feet up. V Rack on the grid. If you only have a couple racks and they will lay flay, skip the v rack if you want.

    BTW...the spares take about 45 min to an hour longer than the baby backs.

    Beast,
    I never add water but I don't think it will hurt anything.
