Well, going to try my hand at some ribs... Only my second time doing ribs. Even though I love them, I've kinda of always avoided them...But TurboDiesel thread and another one kinda of got that hankering going... So here we are...
I don't sauce my ribs. I serve them dry rubbed and let people choose the sauce they want. When it comes to ribs, sauces are for dipping, rubs are for cooking.
It's not hard to overdo it with the rub. I make my own, and I use about half the amount of salt any recipe I may follow calls for. Most of the meat I buy is vacuum packed, and it almost always is injected with a sodium solution. Most any store bought rub has too much salt. I never add sauce on the grill. You can add your own if you eat at my house.
I'm going to do some ribs this weekend as well here is a tried and true recipe that I always follow Easy Baby Back Ribs Remove ribs from packaging and rinse with cold water / pat dry Remove the thin membrane layer from bone side of ribs (mandatory, look it up if you are not sure what this is) coat meat side only with brown sugar and refrigerate over night remove from fridge and apply your favorite pork rub on both sides of ribs, store bought is fine cook for 3 hours at 275 degrees. ( the 275 is key on this) apply sauce during the last 15 minutes of cooking
I used to sauce my ribs and now I just let everyone sauce there own. My daughter likes me to sauce hers but that's all.
Yeah, I got a lot of pics my cooks in my photobucket account. I am going to do ribs tomorrow and well get some updated pics
