Baby Back Ribs

OshawaDave

I cooked Costco baby back ribs this weekend. My first time and I was quite happy with the results. I kept worrying that they wouldn't turn out, but, they were great. I used a recipe from this forum which was:

• Brine 4 -6 hours (I omitted this step)
• Cluck & Squeal rub
• 3 hours on rib rack at 250 degrees
• 45 minutes in foil at 300 degrees
• 10 minutes on grill with BGE Kansas Smoky BBQ Sauce

They look fantastic. I love baby backs

Congratulations, they look very nice. Good draw back on the bone ends.

After using cheap metal cookers for years, I was very apprehensive about how the Egg would do. It seemed like the foil step guaranteed a tender and moist outcome. It does, but there are a couple of down sides. Fuss of wrapping and gathering the liquids from the foil aside, there is some chance of them getting mushy.

Sometime in the future, try doing them for maybe 5 hours at 250 - 275, no foil. Have the sauce heated by itself, and ladle it on right before serving. A little less work, and the results should be comparable.

Thanks. I'll have to try that.
