Ribs 2 Ways

[NePaSmoKer]

Allot of talk about the BPS and the Traeger so tomorrow i will do 2 racks of spare ribs on both units. I have found that the BPS dont like the wind so i might be in the garage or set it in the smokehouse if the wind is going. As for the Traeger it will be on the deck still.

Here is my prep on the ribs.

Remove the back membrane from the ribs. Put a butter knife in as shown and pull the membrane off with a paper towel in your grasp.


I cut the back flap off. This is OPT.


Next i hit both sides with my Jaccard, Again OPT.





Next the rub down with CT  ;D I go through this stuff like crazy  ;D



Makes sure you rub the CT in real good both sides.



I invert the racks together. Put em in the meat tub.



Cover with plastic wrap and in the fridge for an overnight  ;D



Going to do em at 225* low and slow. If your going to use your OBS/DBS do pre heat it. On a BPS you will want to start it going before you put the meat in and cover on. LPG ribs dont taste too good  :-\  I will show you how to place the foil cover on your BPS so you dont put one up in flames  ;D  WHO ME HAHA

If you have a Traeger do the same and pre heat.

Nepas, what in the world is a Jaccard and what does it do?

It is a meat tenderizer.   Lots of tiny little blades pierce the meat to help break it down while cooking.

The knives are spring loaded, and very very very sharp.

My friend smoked spareribs last night, and his turned out poorly. (tough and grisly)  I will mention the Jaccard to him, we've both seen them at a local restaurant supply store.

Ok here we go.

BPS Ribs

This is the BPS in the carry case.



Got it all assembled. There are some design flaws that i will point out.

Here is the back of the flame tube.


The puck flame under the slide.


I use a 20lb tank when at home.



CT rubbed ribs on the racks. These racks wont work in your electric BS.



The bottom pan needs to be reinforced somehow. It warps easy.


I have to use a shim because of the warpage.



The covers can be used more than 3 times. The trick is to let them stand for a day to dry out. If you fold them just after the smoke they will stick together and rib when you try to use next time.

Also be sure to put the cover on the tube side of the flap or you will set your cover on fire.





Uses 4 AA batteries or 12v car adapter to advance the pucks.


I poke a dial thermo in the cover. Holding right at 225*



I have made a few vids of both the BPS and Traeger rib smokes and will post them to my blog later today.
