Baby Back Ribs Revisited (picture heavy)
Gator Bait
Posts: 5,244
I thought I would try baby back ribs for the second time. I was optimistic that I had learned enough from my first try.
Yesterday I had cleaned the egg and loaded it with RO and a fist full of Jack Daniels oak chips mixed in. I set the egg up with plate setter, drip pan, grate and rib rack. I used foil to shield between the legs on the plate setter.
I guess I have a bad probe o my DigiQ so this was my first Low & Slow with out it. I didn't have any trouble getting the egg to stabilize.
I brushed the ribs with yellow mustard and used a homemade rub.
I misted them at 1 hour with equal parts frozen apple juice concentrate, apple cider vinegar and water. I used the frozen apple juice concentrate so I could refreeze what I had left over. It also boosted the sweet apple flavor I was spraying on.
Again at 2 hours . . .
. . . and again at 3 hours. My temperature had decided to go up . . .
. . . but all was fine.
After another 30 to 40 minutes I decided it was a good time to check them for doneness.
They were looking good so I pulled them so I could get ready to sauce them.
I reconfigured to a raised grid, direct and opened the vents till the egg was almost up to 400º, the afternoon rains were getting ready to rain on my parade in a big way so I was in a bit of a hurry. I used Sonny's Sweet sauce.
I had to sample, this was the first rib off the end of the longest rack and was probably just a little bit dry. It made up for it in flavor! These are almost like candy. They aren't fall off the bone tender but bite off the bone leaving a spotlessly clean white bone and may be the best ribs I have ever had! :cheer:

Thanks Eggerman. My first try at Baby Backs didn't impress me. I'm making up for it this time! :laugh:

Thanks Molly, I think our weather is going from frequently wet to even wetter so it looked like a good time to have left overs in the house. I was carrying these through the door just as the first drops were coming down. I was glad I got an early start.

Thanks Pat, Sonny's is a long time favorite of mine. I can't get Carnivore down here and 84 oz. jugs of Sonny's at Sam's is less then $5. I think I just opened my 3rd jug for this year and I cook for myself.

Boy Blair, sure wish I was closer to help take those babies down. They look great!
-
You nailed those ribs Blair! I can almost taste them through my screen.
There's only one down side. With ribs that good, I doubt you'll have any leftovers. -
Thanks Adam, I just had a rack for dinner and they need a bit more practice. I'm still a little heavy on the smoke but they are getting there.

Thanks, LOL, I don't think I will be challenging for Rib King any time soon. I'm more interested in making the best ribs I can for me, they are a lot of work and aren't cheep either. A great steak is so simple.
