How To Make Ribs in a Bradley Pictorial

[Derek_KQ700]

I am trying this for dinner tomorrow. Side ribs, baked beans, baked potato's, and cole slaw. I picked up some Apple pucks today and a rub made locally here from "House of Q". In simple form 225 degrees 3 hrs. smoke, 2 hours foil wrap with apple juice, 1 hour sauce. Is this right?

Hi all,i,m new to all of this ,just got my digital Bradley and thx to your tip I ended up with some great spare ribs.I,ve put a bit too much rub though so they look a bit dark.3 hours hickory smoked ,+ 2 wrapped in aluminum foil, 205-230F.Brushed a bit of apple juice on top.Thank you !

Konrad,
Welcome Aboard. What a way to start posting on the forum!! Them are some great looking ribs. They look perfect from this vantage point. They don't look too dark at all. As long as they taste good!!

[KONRADHASS]

Konrad -
Man those ribbies look great.  What is this too much rub you speak of?  lol

[KONRADHASS]

It may not be such thing as too much spice rub taste wise, it,s for purely esthetic reasons.. ;D
This is my rub choice for now.

Could you give us newbies the rub recipe!

Could you give us newbies the rub recipe!

No Problem Cker here is the one I used for this pictorial.

General Purpose Rub Recipe
Mix together thoroughly the following:
•   1/4 cup dark brown sugar (packed). Use "turbinado" sugar for ease of use, but either works fine.
•   1/4 cup sweet paprika (Hungarian, if you can get it)
•   3 tblsp kosher (or sea) salt
•   1 tblsp ground pepper (fresh peppercorns recently ground!)
•   1 tblsp garlic powder or 2 tblsp granulated (not garlic salt)
•   1 tblsp onion powder
•   1 tblsp chili powder (no, it will not be "hot")
If you want to kick it up a notch add 1 tblsp cayenne pepper.

Store in a tightly sealed container, and refrigerate, to maintain freshness, for up to 4 months.

10.5,

I picked up an Original Bradley Smoker off of craigslist this weekend for $150 (the smoker had been seasoned, only used once and also came with a box of Hickory pucks, so it's like picking up a new unit) ... so I gave your pictorial a go and the end results were outstanding ... The wife and I are glad that I ran across the deal on the smoker as well as this great site to get us going ...

Thanks for making our 1st smoke a fun and delicious one ...

Tim_in_NC -  Great buy there!  Been looking for another one myself and have not run into a deal that good.  Congrats.
Now just be sure the digital camera is charged up - we want to see pics of the smoked goodies.
