My wife is having people over for dinner tonight and wanted me to make ribs. I'm at work today, so I smoked them last night (I didn't sauce or grill them).
I figure I will just sauce them and throw them on the grill for 5-10 minutes tonight to reheat.
Anyone have an opinion on that or suggestions?
Thanks!
I'd pull them out of the fridge and sauce them a bit then wrap in hd foil and toss in the oven for 20 / 30 minutes at around 300F then finish them on the grill for a couple of minutes. That way they are hot all the way through for sure.
I enjoy ribs reheated the next day better then the day they're cooked. Can't go wrong. ;)
I agree with HCT on better the next day, with just about everything I smoke. But here is where I get weird...I like them better COLD! Ribs, brisket, pork tenderloin, fish, brats, just about everything but pulled pork. I'll eat it cold, just not on a sandwich. This is one of the many things that make my wife roll her eyes and shake her head at me... ::)

And cold pizza too! Are we twins??? :D ;D
Ok...I'm good with the pizza...but fish? Brats? Your wife is a smart woman...but we've already been over that haven't we?? !!! :)
Probably a little late now since the ribs are for tonight (they may already have been consumed!!) I like to throw mine in the crock pot on low for a few hours with some AJ and sauce, or the wrapped in foil popped in the oven is always a good plan! Good luck tonight and enjoy!!

Ice-I will very rarely eat pizza until the next day, cold of course. ;) LQ, yes, we've discussed how smart she is...have we mentioned how lucky she is to have me? In fact, tommorrow is the big 22. We got married on Tuesday the 22nd, tommorrow will be 22 years, Tuesday, the 22nd. I'm sure she's counting her blessings right now... ::)
Yes OnTrack...I believe that with all of my being....(cough...cough...) :)
Gee Ontrack, with all those 2s in the future tomorrow, I hope that doesn't require 2 new dresses, 2 new pair of shoes and last but not least, 2 carrots on the finger. :o
Ask LQ, she can fill you in on the carrot business.
Iceman can jump in now!!!
Dude...OnTrack...we love carats!! 2 would be good (considering the significance) 3 would be nice too!!! :) She'd appreciate you even more!! (more coughing...I must be coming down with the flu!!!)
That's it LQ. I'm gonna have to ban Ann from the forum. I think she can sense it when you type in "carrots". Then she wanders around in a daze mumbling something about jewelery stores. :o :D

The beauty of "drinking at a distance" is that you can always come back OnTrack.....:)
I'm mad and I'm never coming back. ;D At least not until Friday.

Life is just not fair! >:(
Mine doesn't start for 3 hours & 42 minutes!
On the positive side the ice is off the local lake, docks are in and I will be test running the boat this weekend! ;D
..... and 7 days, 13 hours and 42 minutes till opening day! ;D
Mike
Mine has started - I have 5lbs of beef jerky in the OBS, and 3lbs of Almonds on deck.
Mine, too. A 10 pound just injected, rubbed, and ready to go on about 5:00am Saturday. Mike, good luck with the boat test and go get those toothy devils!
Hey FLBent...what is the cut of meat you're using...gotta a good recipe from JimGuy...but what cut of (I assume beef) are you using?

Sorry, it's a brisket. ::)
OnT...are you doing jerky?
LQ,
I honestly can't remember - whatever was on sale last week @ my local Publix supermarket. Pot roast I think it was marked. I just trim the fat and cut it up into chunks, partially freeze it, hit it with the slicer, season (I am currentl using Hi Mountain ), vac seal in cannister, smoke with 1 hour of Hickory, finish in convection oven set to "dry" .
What a run-on sentance!!
A brisket, LQ. Sorry I left out that part.
FLBent and OnT...let me know how they come out? I know...I'm a dork but still haven't figured out which dehydrator to buy??? Gotta make a decision before Bob's son in law and daughter get here!!
The Jerky is done. Rave reviews. 1 hour of Hickory is all the smoke it needs.
I use the "drying" function on the Jenn-air convection oven / range. I am currently coveting one of those Cabelas dehydrators, but due to space constraints, I won't be getting one any time soon.
You _can_ use a regular oven to dry jerky, just set it on 200 and prop the door open about 3 inches with a ball of foil or something.
Yeah...I remember Stickbow saying that...how long does it dry? I have a convection oven as well...
I slice it (slightly) less than 1/4 inch. Dries in about 1 hour, usually less, but yours truly left the vent too closed on the OBS when I smoked it, so it was a little wetter than usual going in. Sometimes I don't smoke it if we are in a hurry. We have gone through 20 lbs of meat (for jerky) in a month.
FLB-sounds like we have the same Jenn-Aire oven/convection oven. I have never used either in the 3 years here, but it's nice to know it's here if I need it. I wouldn't have a clue what to do, so I'll just stick with my little round dehydrator unit thing for jerky. :-\
Thanks FLBent...worst case...I'll do that...are you electric or gas? I think gas is drier? Electric is hotter? or could be the other way around?
Ontrack - I just hit "convection" then down arrow to "drying" - then you prop the door open with the little magnet tube gadget - you put it so it closes the little plunger sensor that turns off the fan when you open the door. Set the temp to 200 and go.
LQ - I am Electric - I _think_ electric is drier, since there is no combustion going on, and I think with gas there is a water vapor by-product (I could be wrong here, I am trying to remember from a "Good Eats" episode). I've never seen a gas dehydrator. But then there is the BPS...
