4th of July Perfect Ribs
Please Note: You need a BBQ grill that can cook at low temperatures and deliver copious amounts of smoke to accurately perform this recipe.
Ingredients
1 rack of baby backs ribs
The Rub:
8 TBSP Brown sugar
1 Tsp Salt
2 Tsp Chili Powder
1 Tsp Ground Black Pepper
1 Tsp Oregano
{{insert your own secret rub ingredients here}}
BBQ Sauce
Water
Directions
- Mix together the rub ingredients in a bowl. Mix them well.
- On a baking sheet, rub the rub into the ribs. Take your time to coat ever single square millimeter. It's better this way. Let the ribs sit in the fridge for a while.
- Fire up the smoker. The key here is SLOW AND LOW ... and lots of smoke. Ideally, you'll want to smoke them for about 4 hours. The temperature should be about 200 degrees Farenheit.
- Water down some BBQ sauce and use it to baste the ribs every hour or so.
- When done, slice the ribs in twos and serve.

I used this recipe for braised ribs because we are not allowed to barbecue on our (wooden) terrace due to stupid fire laws in our town. The braising (wrapping in tinfoil with just enough room for a small amount of liquid, then heating in a 200-degree oven for four hours) took the place of steps 3 and 4. I did one rack in Rare Vos beer and the other in a cup of freshly-brewed coffee, because I had read somewhere that the caffeine makes ribs very tender and the coffee doesn't affect the flavor. It worked. Excellent recipe, dude.
