Today I smoked a rack of baby back ribs. Applied rub the night before,smoked for 6hrs @ 200F w/hickory. Concerning tender & moist,Excellent[:p][:D][;)]. Concerning the rub,I put WAY to much cayene pepper in it and holy mackeral is it hot!!![:0][:0][B)]. Next time I'm not going to rub them at all, I'm going to cover them in BBQ sauce and then smoke'em.I would like to fing a rub that would enhance the flavor of meat not cover it or burn it off my tongue.Yet another learning experience![;)]

Hey Jack,

If they're too hot to eat, save 'em & make a batch of chili. The slow cook will leech the hot out & make for a wonderful bowl.

Thanks kirk for the idea,this time I just scraped the rub off and they were edible.

Fuzzy, I never tried beef ribs,But my vote would be Pork Baby Back Ribs. IMO they are just tastier(if you don't over spice them[V]). Baby Back ribs have more meat on than pork belllie ribs.there is a nice chart at this web site:

I've never made beef ribs because frankly, I've never sampled any that made me think "Oooh, I've got to make these." Pork just always seemed to taste better.....and I'm a Northerner! Maybe I just haven't met the right beef rib yet?

I did ribs this weekend followed the smoke and spice recipe for Apple City Baby Back Ribs..... 4 full racks of ribs + 4 people = no leftovers[:(]    Next time I will have to really load it up.... Oh yeah and remember to take pictures prior to the only evidence left is a pile of picked clean bones....[:D][:D]

When in doubt smoke it.

Ok kids!

Fuzzy is taking the pork rib plunge[:D] on Sunday the 6th...here's the game plan........

2lbs of country style pork ribs (you know, those thick ones![:p]
Hickory wood to smoke 3 to 6 hours - not sure yet...everyone has done baby backs, not the country style so I'll experiment for ya'll!

Subline Smoke marinade over night consisting of rasberry jam/worchestire sauce/water/ketchup/minced onion/cider vinegar - see page 188 of Sublime Smoke....

On the rub:  also, page 188 but modified to include 1/4 tsp garlic salt/1/4 tsp rosemary/1/4 tsp black pepper - oh, and I am using Turbinado sugar in lieu of brown sugar.
[:p]

Hoo yaa!!![:D]

Fuzz,

2# of country's should be done in 3 hrs, depending on the temp. I like mine a little chewy, not fallin' off like baby's. I'd spread 'em out over all 4 racks & apply smoke the whole time. You & Mrs. Bear enjoy the meal.[:)]

Awesome ribs guys!  I'm in favor with gramma and the missus!  Smoked them 2 hours and 20 minutes (boneless) and am way happy[:D] and surprised[:D] at how good they turned out...that glaze from Sublime Smoke was incredibile!!!![:p][:p][:p][:p] I don't know what temp they were but the chicken on the next rack read 142 degrees....I just couldn't stand it and took a bite and felt they were done, took them off, let them rest another 15 minutes and chowed down - no pics but they were sticky/glazed/and delicious!!!  Mmmmmmmmmm Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

The wife says "Keep this one for company" - next time, I'll be smoking at least 4 lbs - the 2lbs was a tester for me since I had not done ribs before.......I'm addicted!

"Edit" forgot to mention that I alternated hickory and apple for the entire time......

Just smoked my first batch of baby back ribs weekend of the 4th.  I went w/ 6 rack of ribs bec. I hate cleaning the smoker for just 1 or 2 racks.  Peeled off the membrane and cut each rack in half. Used a no sugar rub and left in plastic overnight.  Heated up smoker to max which was 350F for 1 hr.  Took ribs out of the refrig. for 45 minutes and used a rub w/ some sugar in it.  I was able to fit 3 half racks of ribs per metal rack.  Used all 4 racks.  Put the smaller less meaty portions on the top 2 metal racks and meatier portions on the 2 bottom metal racks. Put pieces of bacon over the ribs on the bottom 2 racks to keep them from burning. Used 4hrs of special blend bisquettes.  As soon as I put in the ribs, temp dropped to 125F and did not hit 190 for 1hr30min.  Started timing my 4 hrs of cooking time as soon as temp hit 190.  2 hrs in I turned the metal racks front to back only.  Took 35 min. to get back up to 200F.  Cooked another 2hrs.  
Results:  Ribs were super tender.

Fuzz,

I just saw your recipe and would like to try it as I just got my BS. I noticed you used country ribs. If I can't find those, can I use back ribs? How often did you check them? I also noticed that some people on this board suggest cooking their ribs at 200 for 6-7 hours. Your ribs took much less time. Do back ribs take longer then country ribs?

Thanks[:)]

Great idea on the Red Brick - maybe even two.  

As a rookie, I like to see what I am doing too!
