Advice you've followed from fellow UJers
WooHooGuy turned me onto Angostura bitters, and i gotta admit that was borderline life-changing advice.
Anyone else?

Re: Advice you've followed from fellow UJers
I've probably also followed some of woohoo's suggestions over the years. Dude seems pretty knowledgeable about a lot of stuff.
I asked Animals advice on dry pouring concrete last year when I was building my deck.
I think I've made a recipe or two from here as well.
I also dipped into the disaster that was/is Upstart
Mostly I'd say I've followed suggestions from the "Movie and TV recommendations" thread.

Re: Advice you've followed from fellow UJers
Boiling (pork) ribs, like putting beans in chili, is a pretty controversial topic. Growing up in Texas along the northeast coast, every roadside BBQer boiled their ribs for the initial cook and finished them off on the grill (or in the smoker), and they always came out perfect, at least to a 10 yo QD who preferred ribs over brisket. The trick seems to be not to boil the shit out of them so they turn out rubbery. But I often find ribs done solely on the grill often come out tasting like bricks and/or get really stringy. Or worse, come out under-cooked. Of course, do your ribs like you want to, but among all the shit we give CTC over, I never really understood boiling ribs was such a big deal. YMMV and all...

If you can't be a good example, you can still serve as a horrible warning.

Re: Advice you've followed from fellow UJers
That just sounds unappealing. It's definitely best to cook them before grilling but boiling, and not in a controlled sous vide fashion? I'll stick to baking. I've not yet tried baking the ribs with a can of Coke but that's next on my list.QillerDaemon wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2024 2:03 pmBoiling (pork) ribs, like putting beans in chili, is a pretty controversial topic.

Re: Advice you've followed from fellow UJers
Yea, I edited my comment a little. As a kid, I don't remember any particular separate concept like a smoker, it was always referred to as "the grill" no matter how they were made. Basically indirect heat vs directly over the heat, but it was still a grill.Biker wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2024 2:29 pmWhen you say 'grill', I assume you mean you do not smoke them slow and lowQillerDaemon wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2024 2:03 pm But I often find ribs done solely on the grill often come out tasting like bricks and/or get really stringy.

Personally, though I admit it's my own personal tastes, I find ribs done purely in a smoker usually taste like Liquid Smoke and as chewy as a dog treat. There seems to be a 4.3 second difference between the ribs being absolutely perfect and just worth tossing in the garbage. But every backyard BBQer feels their recipe and method is the very best and brook no argument on the subject.
If you can't be a good example, you can still serve as a horrible warning.

Re: Advice you've followed from fellow UJers
This works pretty good if you want to try it...quarter an apple and an onion, (variety's that you like). Add you ribs on top...cut into 3-4 bone sections or as you like. Take a 2-liter coke and pour over until almost covered, leave about an inch. Add some BBQ sauce...about 4-6 ounces of an inexpensive sauce, then add water till covered. Boil on 300 for 30 minutes then turn down to 275 for about 2 hours or til they are just starting to release from the bone. Drain and brush on your choice of sauce liberally then grill until you get a nice char. They'll be very tender and juicy and will absorb the sauce flavor.Geist wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2024 2:42 pmThat just sounds unappealing.

Re: Advice you've followed from fellow UJers
ok. here's the secret for you drooling morans. first get a rack of baby back pork ribs. wash them and then sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Then take a good handful of brown sugar and wipe down the meaty side (top) of the rack from one end to the other. Just make sure that it evenly covers the rack. Then wrap tightly in saran wrap and put in the fridge for at least a night. The sugar will turn to a syrup and stick to the ribs.
u like
Then get a smoker or green egg or your grill set up for indirect heat and get it to about 230 to 250 F. Put the ribs on and the temp will drop. Try to keep the temp at about 225 F for the duration. It will take about 2 hours or more to cook. Turn the ribs over about each hour. To check them, lift them longwise with tongs that reach to about the center, If the rack lifts without bending they aren't done. When lifting them like this has the rack bending, they are done and if they want to fold over and break they are too done.
Remove from heat and wrap with foil. Let them rest in the foil for at least an hour before slicing. If you insist on bbq sauce, get some Sweet Baby Ray's original flavor.
