Easy Rib Recipe

Unknown

OK, I'm new to the community, so I'm still learning. Can someone give me a BASIC/EASY recipe for rib cooking? At this point, I'm not looking to make an exotic rub or sauce, or to cook them for 2 days. I'd appreciate some guidance on (a) the easiest kind of ribs for a novice (baby back v. spare, etc.); (b) the appropriate rub or other prep to be applied; (c) temperature of cook; and (d) duration of cook. Thanks in advance.

To me, simple as it gets.
Buy babybacks and remove the membrane. Lather with mustard meat side only, apply Adolphs meat tenderizer and Lawry's seasoning salt.
Soak 3-4 apple or cherry chunks. Get BGE up to 250, throw on chucks of wood, cook ribs indirect about 5 hours, maybe a little less or a little more. Last half hour apply a favorite BBQ sauce.
Hope this helps,[p]CWM

Rib-Dork,
Cooking indirect I put a little water in the drip pan underneath and spray the ribs with apple juice periodically. They seem to stay juicier this way.
Good luck

Rib-Dork,
I did 5 racks of ribs yesterday for a party at work (a woman is leaving and we had a luncheon for her). I did ribs indirect using a Hoisin glaze......5 racks were gone within 15 minutes and the sauce is so easy to make. I actually got the recipe from www.weber.com [p]I sprinkled the ribs with BGE seasoning and garlic, wrapped in plastic and let sit over night. I got the BGE stable at 300 and tossed the ribs on for 3.5 hours at 300 degrees (I put them on at 6:30 and went to work - coming back home at 10:00). After the 3.5 hours I put the hoisin sauce on and cooked for another 45-60 minutes.....they came out perfect!![p]Here is the sauce recipe:[p]1 cup hoisin sauce (in oriental food section)
¼ cup honey
¼ cup red wine vinegar
2 tbsp fresh grated ginger
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tsp curry powder[p]Heat on stove to boil then simmer 3-4 minutes.....use sauce in ribs immediately.......this is a no lose recipe.....people are still talking to me about the ribs today and one person wants me to BBQ for them at an up-coming party......[p]

Toe 49,
I agree with you. I tried that recipe and it is very good. I sprinkled the ribs with toasted seasame seeds after glazing with the sause. Definitly a Keeper.
