Title: 6 Racks locked and loaded!
Post by: FLBentRider on November 29, 2008, 06:24:57 PM
I just finished, putting the rub on six racks of St Louis ribs. They will go in tomorrow late morning for 3 hours of Hickory, then into the oven, AKA FlBentRider Rib Experiment #3.

The difference is that when it is ready, it will all go back in the fridge to be re-heated for a dinner Thursday night. My Brother is coming to town and there is no way with work and everything else that is going on this week that I can pull off the cook on Thursday. Ribs seem better re-heated anyway.

It is going to be a stretch to get 8 bradley racks worth of ribs in my 4 rack OBS, but I think I can get them in.

That's a good point on the ribs, I agree that re-heated ribs are sometimes better. Flavors distribute somehow. I used to do an overnight slow cook on ribs to feed my Saturday crew and FTC in the am and pack to work. They were fully cooked and sauced. My intention was to just put the foil packs on the grill to get the temp up, and then crisp up a bit open on the grill. All 25 of them proclaimed they prefer right out of the steaming foil packs without the direct grill. At home I re-sauce and vac seal. Wife says it's better than right out of the Bradley. Who knows?  ::)

This is probably a dumb question, But did it all fit in the oven?? I don't think mine would handle that load.

I haven't seen that many ribs in one place since I went the the Ribfest. :)

It was a tight fit. Our oven has 3 racks, and there were 2 racks of ribs per oven rack.

All of it is now in the refrigerator, I still need to finish the sauce.

We will re-heat and serve on Thursday. In hindsight, it will give us more time to visit since I won't be wrestling ribs and sauce with a house full of company.

They are a little more done that I would like, but the taste is awesome.
