Guys, I have just about 3 hr of smoke on BB ribs in the DB6. I do not have any apple juice. Any recommendations for liquid when I foil them for an hr. I think the only juice I have is lemon or lemon/lime combo. Hot about wine? Could I just skip the foiling all together and keep em naked. Any thoughts?
Lemon/lime would give an interesting flavor...
Or just keep them nekkid and drink the wine! ;)
I've read that some people do not foil theirs at all and they say they turn out great. I personally like to put in 1/2 cup of apple juice, called the Texas Crutch (http://www.amazingribs.com/tips_and_technique/texas_crutch.html), in foil and seal them up tightly for 1-1.5 hours (baby back ribs) and then back on the rack bare for the last hour. I've never tried any other juices, so I can't suggest something else to try if you don't have any apple juice handy.
Too late to run up to the store and grab a bottle of apple juice?
Wine, chicken stock, coca cola, root beer, water. The possibilities are endless. I like to use apple juice with slices of lemons or limes between the racks of ribs....or like stc says go nekked as they are great that way too.
I used to foil but now I do them nekkid.
Took your advice and made a quick run to the store apple juice. Thanks
Naked here too.
