Ribs!!!!

I saw ribs made this way on a BBQ cooking show that's no longer on :(

This is fall-off-the-bone WONDERFUL. Make this one your own by creating your own dry rubs. I'll list the ingredients I use for pork and for beef. Either pork or beef, this recipe uses baby back ribs. Regular spare ribs are good too, but you're gonna have to increase the cook time.

Pork
Brown sugar
Garlic powder
Onion Powder
Salt
Pepper
Thyme
Cayenne pepper

Beef
Salt
Pepper
Dry mustard
Thyme
Garlic powder
Summer savory

The ribs are always cooked over indirect heat at a low temperature (about 250 F/120C) for about 3 hrs.

Feel free to toss a smoke pouch on the lit side. Applewood, maple & cherry seem to work for me and pork, hickory, maple, mesquite and Jack Daniels flavored work well with the beef. But experiment!!! Any time you use a smoke pouch, always start on HIGH until you smell/see smoke then turn down to LOW after adding meat. You'll need 2 smoke pouches--change after 1 1/2 hrs.

I've found hickory and apple on Amazon.com, and you can also find hickory, Jack Daniel's flavored chips and mesquite in Walmart. I have found a wonderful online place that offers a large selection of smoking items, including cedar, etc., planks--Northwoods Smoke of Minnesota. It's a "Mom & Pop" business and they get your order to you quicker than you can blink your eye. Here's the link:

Don't forget the drip pan with this because you'll get drippings up the wazoo.
