NAKED RIBS
Stashing for when not quite so wet & next time I spy a great pork rib sale hopefully at Piggly-Wiggly. From Food & Drink Weekly, developed by Food editor Russ Parsons. From the article listing the Top Picks of 2008 for Food & Drink Weekly: "You don't need a smoker to make them, a good old-fashioned kettle grill will work fine. The trick is concentrating the heat along one side of the grill, so that the ribs can slowly smoke on the cool side. Note also that the dry rub spicing mixture makes enough to repeat this recipe three or four times -- in other words, about a week's worth." Marinating time 1 hour (not enough) to overnight (way more better) not included in prep/cooking times

Steps:
- In a jar, combine the chile, salt, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, cumin and coriander, crushing any chunks of brown sugar. Cover tightly and shake well to combine thoroughly.
- Trim the ribs, cutting away any excess fat pieces and loose ends without bones. Lay the ribs flat with the bony underside facing up. If you prefer, remove the flap of meat that covers part of one side. Use a small knife or skewer to poke through the thin, tough membrane that covers the rib bones, lifting a corner of it. Use a clean kitchen cloth to get a good grip and gently but firmly pull the membrane away from the ribs. It will come up in sheets; you may have to repeat the process a couple of times to get it all.
- Sprinkle both sides of the ribs with the dry rub mixture, using about 1 to 1 1/2 Tbsps. per side. Rub to distribute evenly, and then seal tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour to overnight.
- Soak 3 cups of hickory chips in enough water to cover generously. Start the coals in a chimney and when they are lightly coated with gray ash, about 20 minutes, empty them into the grill, arranging them in a gentle slope against one side.
- When those coals have cooled slightly, about 20 minutes, add two-thirds of the wood chips, replace the grill rack and brush it with oil. Arrange the rib rack well away from the heat and cover tightly so that the lid's vent holes are over the ribs, opposite the flame. Smoke, turning every 30 minutes or so, until the meat begins to pull away from the rib tips and is so tender that a center bone can almost be pulled loose, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. After about an hour, you'll need to replenish the smoke, adding the remaining wood chips on top of the coals.
- Remove the racks from the fire and wrap them tightly in aluminum foil. Set aside for 30 minutes to 1 hour to rest. Serve at room temperature, or reheat briefly on the grill, off the fire, before serving.
MY OUTSTANDING NAKED RIBS
Being an apartment dweller makes it hard for me to fire up a grill unless the landlord allows it. I'm past the age for hauling grills, charcoal, and coolers of meat to the park. These ribs will break your heart, and make you say , "sauce ....for what"?

Steps:
- 1. Heat your oven to 300 degrees. Combine all dry ingredients and if possible mix in a spicegrinder. Put into a container with a shaker top. Mix apple juice and devil's spit in spray bottle aside. Clean ribs and remove the silver off the back. (Silver is tendon and will not break down, no matter how long you cook it). Remove most of the fat. Leave a little to drip down and self baste your meat.
- 2. Get a heavy roaster and unfurl saran wrap inside, not completely. Move to side. Season ribs front and back, two at a time and don't be shy about it. Set inside Saran wrap and spray with apple juice/ mixture. Each time season, spray, stack, until they all sit atop each other. Wrap good, I can't say how many sq. ft you will use but I can say wrap continously 6-7 times.
- 3. Get Heavy duty foil, and wrap around ribs just like Saran wrap, 6-7 times. Remeber to wrap with the dull side out. This draws the heat in. You can place them on a heavy sheet pan or leave in the roaster. Cook at 300 degrees the1st 3 hours and 225 degrees for the remaining 5. Remove from oven and let sit 30-40 minutes so juices redistribute through the meat.
- 4. You can flip them half way through, but it,s not necessary. They won,t be overcooked just put them in the oven and leave them alone. YOU WILL LOVE THESE RIBS!!!

Tips:
- Choose the right ribs. Baby back ribs are the most popular type of ribs for this recipe, but you can also use spare ribs or St. Louis-style ribs. Just be sure to trim any excess fat from the ribs before cooking.
- Use a good rub. The rub is what gives the ribs their flavor, so it's important to use a good one. There are many different rub recipes available online, so find one that you like and stick with it.
- Cook the ribs slowly and low. The best way to cook ribs is to cook them slowly and low. This will allow the meat to become tender and fall off the bone.
- Smoke the ribs if you can. Smoking the ribs will add an extra layer of flavor. If you don't have a smoker, you can still cook the ribs in the oven or on the grill.
- Let the ribs rest before serving. Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
