Pork Spare Ribs

GblockOn sale at kroger this weekend
I will be putting 4 racks in the smoker
My strategy
I am going to trim the "tip" off and make them st. louis style as well as remove the membrane
I will refrigerate marinate them tonight with my own special rub add mustard around to keep the rub on the meat
take them out about an hour before cooking apply more rub and let them get to room temp
Put them on the smoker with hickory and cherry chips and a tub of apple cider vinegar, beer and salt mix
cook at 225-230 for about 4 hours spraying them w/ apple juice mix every 45 min.
wrap them in foil w some butter and a little coke for another 1-1.5 hours of smoking
remove foil and smoke for another 20-30 min to get some good bark going
remove from smoker and put back in foil to rest for 15 min or so and then time to eat.
im also going to be braising some country style ribs on the grill in a shallow pan w a mix of beer/applecidervinegar and spices., bbq sauce ill sear each side first then put them in the pan for about an hour turning them at the halfway point -

During the Mid-Ohio race season, a large group of us hang out and do the cook-and-drink thing all weekend long. With a grill, smoker and other things. Reading this is making me drool even though we're still 28 days from the beginning of the race season. Think it's usually pork tenderloin instead of ribs that the guy w/ the smoker cooks most often, but properly marinated and smoked pork is just awesome as hell.Gblock;1441256 wrote:On sale at kroger this weekend

i agree the last weekend i did a pork shoulder which basically has the tenderloin and the butt for pulled pork. it takes like 10 hours and i had to get up at 6 am to put it in but it turned out really good. i have only been using a smoker since christmas so im still learning but i been grilling/barbecuing my whole lifeHeretic;1441265 wrote:During the Mid-Ohio race season, a large group of us hang out and do the cook-and-drink thing all weekend long.

Gblockim going to look for an injector this weekend as well. im not going to inject the ribs but the next time i do pork butt or brisket im going to try it out. never tried it but i heard it can help keep meat moist and get the flavors down deep into large pieces of meat.

That is true but superstitiously I like to do it sometimes instead of water even though it probably does nothingse-alum;1441497 wrote:You're waisting your vinegar, beer, and salt...but everything else looks good.
