I just returned from Iraq on Monday. When I got home my wife had a big green egg waiting for me. I am looking for the best rib recipe out there. I have always cooked on a weber grill so this thing is a little intimidating right now. Any advise will be helpful. Thank you.

    Chad Chisholm,
    Welcome home and thank you!!![p]I got my egg almost a month ago and love it! I also switched from a Weber kettle to the egg. This forum is one of the best parts of having an egg. They can help you with questions and usally answers questions quick if you have gotten into trouble. Read the archives they are a wealth of info. The other thing I would do is download Wise One's cookbook. You can find this at nakedwhiz.com
    As far as ribs go check out this site. I followed one of them on my first rib cook and was thrilled.

    Chad Chisholm,
    Hey, THANKS & welcome back!!! I've been egging since June '03 and can't point you to the "best" recipie. I don't think there is such a thing. The folks on this forum have been so helpful and creative that it rubs off. Really, all I did here for the first 4 - 5 months was read & learn and "take" other folks recipies. Now I find that I can contribute a bit by giving others that visit here some tips & tricks of the trade (so to speak). You will also find yourself conjuring up your own recipies, spending lots of time on this forum and smelling like smoke on a more regular basis. It awesome!!! Welcome! Joe[p]PS: You must have a great wife too...

    Chad, What an awesome way to welcome you home. Dont be intimidated by the egg. Light it and start cooking. Play with the vents and get a feel for temp control. Kiss your wife. Cook your "old grill" favorites for more practice. Learn the difference between direct and indirect cooking and decide which is best for youre recipe. Kiss your wife. Spatchcock a chicken. Go to these websites and learn more:[p]http://www.nakedwhiz.com/

    <p />Chad Chisholm,[p]I don't know about the best rib recipe, but here's my lazy rib recipe for spares that makes me happy:[p]Take your favorite rub and cut it in half with brown sugar or turbinado. Coat ther ribs really well, wrap and fridge for a few hours.[p]Get the fire steady between 220-240 degrees at the grate level and cook indirect, bone side down with a couple of chunks of hickory or cherry or pecan or apple or..... for about 4 hours or until done.
    When I cook indirect, I use a raised grid with a drip pan a few inches below to allow the air to circulate under the ribs. I never flip the ribs, just opening the lid a couple times to rotate for even cooking and at the end, to check for doneness.[p]Do bookmark the websites that Borders posted as they are a great reference. Qfan's recipe on the Dizzy Pig site is excellent. Tim M has a very helpful website that will get you acquainted with many of the basics of the ceramic cooking.[p]You have a sweet wife...... welcome back![p]John[p]
