Newbie Question Regarding BB Ribs

Unknown

How long do you boil the ribs, prior to putting on the BGE? Also, has anyone used something other than water to boil such as root beer or Dr. pepper?

Thank You

The idea of "boiling" ribs before cooking them is not needed when making ribs. Just put on some rub, let them sit for an hour or two, and put them on the EGG at 250, indirect.

Also with a moniker of Rib Expert I hope you knew that. Sorry if I sounded rude. I don't mean to but when I read a recipe that says "boil" the ribs first, boils my ARSS off.

Be sure to stir the pot.... oh wait....

I use a heavy dose of "get the heck out of here" to boil ribs. We all know you're just screwing around. But if your not, just plain water and apple wood chunks. That way they get some smoke flavor.

What? Rib Expert and Boiled Ribs don't compute?

Mike, do you soak the apple chunks before you add them to the water?

Hot Sauce.

Thanks for the clarification. I have always been a fan of Dave's Insanity Sauce.

Boil ribs in Dr. Pepper / Root Beer? Seriously?
