How is the best way to do baby back ribs? Direct or indirect heat?

Suck Creek Wings · February 2008

I'm going indirect at 250. This is my first attempt so we'll see how they turn out.

I have heard two different ways. One as direct heat in a V rack and the other is with a plate setter upside down, drip pan (with a beer in it) then the grate and V rack. I just don't know which is best.

Go 3/1/1.5

3 hours indirect with platesetter in @ 225-250

1 hour in foil...still indirect

45 minutes indirect

for last 45 remove platesetter and cook direct

sauce in last 15 minutes.

Come out great everytime (probably about 20 so far)

NEAT! Looks like you did yours direct?????

BENTE · February 2008

oh well it did not work well there is more than one way to skin a cat!!! :laugh:

coat with mustard,...

add rub

wrap in plastic wrap and put in fridge overnight

now here is where it gets interesting
i put thenm in a vrack for awhile

i squirt them with a squirt bottle with apple juice in it

here is where i found out 3 will work on a lbge

squirt with apple juice every hour
almost done

then you sauce about 20 min before you take them off the egg

i use cherry wood and indirest at about 250 degrees (dome)

I'm a newbie here (almost 3 months of Eggin')and have had wonderful success with pork butts, steak, & chicken. However, the perfect rib cook remains beyond my grasp, butt (NPI) I won't keep tryin'!

I generally do the first three hours indirect at 250* dome, in a V-rack with a plate setter upside down and a drip pan underneath. Then remove the ribs and foil with a splash of apple juice inside, cooking another hour indirect directly on the grate, without the V-rack. Then one last hour, direct and unfoiled, saucing the last half hour or so.

You'll see variations on this in the replies...all are good, all work. It's a matter of preference, and you'll find what you like as you Egg more.

Go to nakedwhiz.com and check out his recipes / techiniques for Baby Back Ribs...or Wess B's site....or the Dizzy Pig site....Probably check out the 3-1-1 method....Which involves putting the ribs on indirect for 2-3 hours at 300 Dome...Taking them off and putting them in a foil pouch with a splash of liquid (like apple juice) and then put them back on indirect for about 35 - 45 minutes....and then take the plater setter out...take the ribs out of the foil....sauce and flip three or four times over the direct fire....and you're good to go.....But just tossing them on for the first time and hoping for great results is a real roll of the dice....a crap shoot if you will.......3-1-1 is the way to go....But it's more like 2.5-45-sauce and flip and you'll get some pretty nice ribs your first time out! Hit those websites hard and do your pre-cook homework and your chances of ruining meat decreases......
