Hope this helps.
Instructions are nothing more than a "In Case of Emergency, Read This".

As difficult as it is for me to continually admit that James has once again excelled at something, the ribs he made were the best ribs I've ever had in my life. Different from Cowboy's ribs, but just as good.

I know someone who works at Smokey Bones (a rib chain), who had the coolest job title-The Smoker. If it were me, I'd have business cards printed.

Here's the recipe for the Dry Rub we use for Pork Butt.

1 cup Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Paprika
1/2 cup Kosher Salt
4 tbsp Garlic Powder
4 tbsp Onion Powder
4 tbsp Cumin
4 tbsp Corriander Seed
4 tsp Black Pepper
4 tsp Chili Powder

Mix well. Rub generously onto meat. Cover meat with Saran Wrap.
Refrigerate 24 hours.


This is the BBQ sauce I make. Itīs a vinegar based sauce so not too sweet.

Memphis BBQ Sauce
3 tbsp Butter
1/2 cup White Onion - diced very small
2 cups Tomato Puree
1 cup Cider Vinegar
1/4 cup Worchestershire Sauce
4 tsp Sugar
3/4 cup Dry Rub Mix (see recipe above)

Saute onions in butter intil soft. Add in all other ingredients, bring to a boil, reduce heat, simmer 20 minutes to thicken.

Thanks Michele, I think we'll use this rub!

Since you will be using your smoker anyway, buy some good cheese and smoke it also if you have room.
We have a smoke house on our property because we used to raise pigs and we smoked ham and bacon and ribs. We always added some cheese to the smokehouse, too. It is ssssssoooooooooooo good.
We used apple wood and it was fabulous.

I agree with all the rub ideas. Adds lots of flavor, also as far as the wood for smoking the fruit woods are great for for pork. But just about any other like hickory, mesquite, etc are just as good. Make sure to soak the wood very well in water so that it won't burn up quickly. We usually smoke ours baby back pork ribs 8-10 hours at temps 175 - 200. They are so nice and falling off the bone. Good luck!

That sounds delicious. How do you keep it from melting?

as long as your smokin meat, might as well throw some jalepenos in there too. We did 2 pounds of pecan smoked baby back ribs and a 2 pound trimmed brisket yesterday, the ribs were ready in less than 2 hours, threw the brisket on the Weber grill for about 10-15 minutes to speed it up some (Lulu was hungry). Had some grilled shrimp in various marinades and some fresh grilled corn ears too. I prefer to smoke the meat to the medium-medium rare point, that way, when you heat it up in foil the next day, it's not as dry. Applewood smoked salmon filets and mesquite smoked whole chickens are another common feast here, smoking time is less than an hour for the salmon and an hour per pound on the chickens

That is what I did yesterday. It is good, but I prefer apple wood (or other fruit) for poultry - mesquite is more widely available though, until I chop down those two apple trees in the backyard.

I have another question, say you were to do the ribs on the grill, slowly, do you boil them first or just put them right on?
