Title: What wood for my Baby Backs??
Post by: Tim S on September 23, 2006, 07:41:49 AM
I am down to 3 packs of pucks and need to smoke 3 racks of Baby Back ribs in the next few hours.
Between Alder,Cherry and Maple which one would be good on these ribs??
I do have 1 hours worth of Hickory pucks left that I could add to the mix.

If you toss a couple of cherry pucks on the back end it adds a nice hint of sweetness to the after taste of the alder. Just a thought. Ann really likes them that way. :)

Tim S,

Go to a web hosting service like Image Cave (free for nominal amounts of images), then follow Oldman's (or Owrstrich's) directions for linking to photos.

I forgot all about using PhotoBucket in the past for posting photos. I will post some pics of the ribs when I get home. The photos that I have are on my PC at home.

iceman, just take a nice snack with you.  Or an ABT, that will break the drool, at least make it hotter.

To heck with the sandwich part. I just dip the meatballs in some sauce and eat them right off the fork! ;D :P

Hello to All,

Here is a picture of the ribs I smoked last weekend. I removed the membrane and applied a generous amount of McCormicks pork rub and refrigerated them overnight. The ribs were smoked for a total of 4 hours using 3 hours of Maple with 1 hour of Hickory mixed in. I tried to keep the temp between 210 and 220 and after removing the ribs from the smoker I FTC'ED them for approximately 45 minutes. The ribs were very flavorful and tender to say the least. I am well pleased with they way they turned out and now want to try making my own sauce and rub. Thanks to all for the help.

They look perfect Tim. Congratulations. There are a few recipes mentioned on the forum for rubs and sauces. My rub recipe is posted at http://forum.bradleysmoker.com/index.php?topic=3409.msg31111#msg31111. If you try it, let me know what you think it needs. I'm open to suggestions, but, for now, will probably stick with this as an all-purpose rub. Once I make another batch of my sauce, I may be ready to share it also, but it is still a work in progress.

Happy smokin', and keep postin'

Can someone tell me how to use the brisquettes?  Do I soak them ahead of time?  Put them in the smoker dry?  How do you use these things?

Welcome to the forum.  Real simple question.  Use them dry.  There should be no flame.  The burner gets them hot enough to smoulder.  The Bradley will cycle a new puck about every 20 minutes.  Be sure to put the water bowl in with water.

Welcome Smokingnow.  You can also check out Old's recipe site.  There is a section for new bradley owners that is an excelent primer to get you started.
