Steps:
- Arrange ribs in large roasting pan. Pour bourbon over. Chill 30 minutes, turning ribs often. Pour off and discard bourbon.
- Whisk salt and next 5 ingredients in medium bowl. Sprinkle spice mixture on both sides of ribs. Let stand 1 hour.
- Place wood chips in medium bowl. Pour beer over; let stand 1 hour. Place handful of torn newspaper in bottom of charcoal chimney. Top newspaper with 25 charcoal briquettes. Remove upper rack from barbecue. Place chimney on lower grill rack. Light newspaper and let charcoal burn until ash is gray, about 30 minutes.
- Open 1 bottom grill vent. Turn out hot charcoal onto 1 side of lower rack. Using metal spatula, spread charcoal to cover approximately 1/3 of rack. Remove 1 cup wood chips from beer and drain (keep remaining chips in beer). Scatter drained chips over coals (avoid using too many wet chips, which may douse the fire). Fill foil loaf pan halfway with water and place opposite the coals on lower grill rack.
- Place upper grill rack on barbecue. Arrange ribs on upper grill rack above loaf pan. Cover barbecue with lid, positioning top vent directly over ribs. Place stem of candy thermometer through top vent, with gauge on outside and tip near ribs (thermometer should not touch meat or grill rack); leave in place during cooking. Check temperature after 5 minutes. Use top and bottom vents to maintain temperature between 275°F and 325°F, opening vents wider to increase heat and closing to decrease heat. Leave any other vents closed.
- After 45 minutes, use technique described earlier to light an additional 15 charcoal briquettes in same charcoal chimney set atop nonflammable surface.
- When temperature of barbecue falls below 275°F, use oven mitts to lift off upper rack with ribs; place rack with ribs on heatproof surface. Using tongs, add hot gray charcoal from chimney to bottom rack. Drain remaining 1 cup wood chips; sprinkle over charcoal. Reposition upper rack on barbecue, placing ribs above loaf pan. Cover with lid. Grill until ribs are very tender and meat pulls away from bones, about 45 minutes longer, brushing with 3/4 cup Bourbon Barbecue Sauce the last 15 minutes of cooking.
- Transfer ribs to platter. Brush with 3/4 cup more barbecue sauce. Serve, passing remaining sauce separately, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right ribs: Look for baby back ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid ribs that are too thin or bony.
- Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs before cooking. This will help the ribs cook evenly and will make them more tender.
- Use a good rub: A good rub will help to flavor the ribs and will create a nice crust. There are many different rub recipes available, so experiment to find one that you like.
- Cook the ribs slowly and low: The best way to cook baby back ribs is to cook them slowly and low. This will help the ribs to become tender and fall off the bone.
- Baste the ribs frequently: Basting the ribs will help to keep them moist and will also help to develop a nice glaze.
- Let the ribs rest before serving: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the ribs to retain their juices.
Conclusion:
Baby back ribs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the best way to cook them is to cook them slowly and low. By following the tips in this article, you can make sure that your baby back ribs turn out perfect every time.
