mornin' everybody!! I've got a rib question

Mark Backer

At eggtoberfest, a couple of guys were making sort of no-nonsense ribs the ron popeil way: set it and forget it.[p]Does anyone have a good "get a temp, put them on, flip em every 30 minutes for X hours" kind of recipe I can try this weekend?[p]Thanks in advance for your help, and Bobby, if that works, can I come and work for you? You could even name the place Eggsellence or something like that and my wife could be the hostess and we'd all only use our board names and if we were regulars here, we'd get a 10% discount.[p]Not that I've been giving this any thought...

Mark Backer,
Lately I've been doing ribs using the 3-1-X method, where X varies depending on whether they are spares or back ribs. So, 3 hours indirect at 250, wrap in foil for an hour at 250, and then finish for X indirect at 250, saucing if desired during the last 30 minutes. This sounds more like "set and forget" to me than flipping every 30 minutes.

Mark Backer,
i just cook them direct on a raised grill with the ribs verticle. put the spice and mustard on, 250 dome. cut a rib off and eat at 5 hours, cut a rib off and eat at 6 hours and if not done try one at 7 hours.

Mark Backer,
I've been cooking my babybacks like the Wiz with an exception. I take a 1/4-3/4 mixture of bbq sauce and apple juice. Take that mixture on put it in with the ribs when foiling.

Car Wash Mike,[p]That's what I'm talking about.[p]The best thing I've learned here is that rather than individually wrap each section or couple sections of ribs like I've been doing (which is sorta difficult and very messy), it is gonna be far easier to put them all in an aluminum pan and cover that. [p]Plus, when "un-foiling," there will be no real mess or worse, grease burns from the juice in the foil wrap.[p]Thanks guys.

Mark Backer,[p]Another thing that made me start foiling this way. You always have 1 pesky little rib on the short end that pokes threw the foil.[p]CWM
