jeffraben.com/recipes · No. 648
Harry Soo's basic competition technique for smoking ribs at 275 degrees with a foil step.
Ingredients
Method
- Apply a medium coat of Slap Yo Daddy (SYD) rub.
- Smoke @ 275 degrees for 3 hours (this forms the bark).
- Foil with Apple Juice.
- Drizzle with Agave Nectar.
- Cover with a light coat of Brown Sugar.
- Return the foiled ribs to the Smoker.
- Check for doneness after another hour.
- Brush on your favorite BBQ sauce.
- Char on Grill for 5 minutes.
- Cut into bones and enjoy.
Rib cooking temps: 275 degrees renders fat better/faster and bark forms better. For contests, trim ribs to 9-10 bones so edges don't burn. Spray with favorite liquid every 15 minutes after bark forms (2-3 hours in). Variations: try 5-spice powder with dark soy sauce for Chinese style spareribs; try red roast pork Char-Siew powder; for teriyaki use Yoshida sauce; for heat use Rooster brand hot sauce (Sriracha).
