Not Your Every Day Smoked Pork Spare Ribs image

Time 12h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 21

6 pounds pork spareribs
½ cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon jalapeno seasoning salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup apple cider
¾ cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
3 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups wood chips, or as needed

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, black pepper, 2 tablespoons garlic powder, 2 teaspoons onion powder, kosher salt, cumin, cinnamon, jalapeno seasoning, and cayenne pepper. Rub generously onto the pork spareribs. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Prepare an outdoor grill for indirect heat, or preheat a smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Soak wood chips (apple or cherry are our favorites).
  • While the grill heats up, prepare the mop sauce. In a medium bowl, stir together the apple cider, apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, lemon juice, jalapeno, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper.
  • When the coals are gray and ashed over, place 2 handfuls of soaked woodchips directly on them. Place the ribs on the grill grate bone-side down. Cover, and cook for 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Add more coals as needed. Baste with the mop sauce, and throw handfuls of soaked woodchips onto the coals every hour. Keep the temperature of the grill or smoker from going below 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Ribs are done when the rub has created a wonderful crispy blackened 'bark', and the meat has pulled away from the bone. Discard any leftover mop sauce.

SLOW SMOKED PORK RIBS



Slow Smoked Pork Ribs image

temperature about 200 degrees, smoke and patience. A full rack of ribs can be smoked in about 4 hours but do take the time and go the distance. The longer you smoke the more flavor you will get. I'm using a mustard rub to form a nice crust. Remember that you need to hit an internal temperature of 165 F before they can be served. Have a meat thermometer ready.

Time 5h20m

Yield 8-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 lbs pork loin baby back ribs
1/4 cup yellow honey mustard
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup paprika
1/4 cup onion powder
1/4 cup granulated garlic powder
2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
1 -2 tablespoon chipotle chili pepper flakes
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon salt

Steps:

  • Prepare ribs:.
  • Let the ribs come up to room temperature, rinse off in cold water and remove the silver membrane from the back. You don`t have to remove it but I find the membrane blocks the uptake of smoke and creates a barrier to your rubs.
  • To remove the membrane, lay the ribs on a flat surface meat side down. Take a sharp knife and begin peeling the membrane from one corner near the bone. Once you have a good piece peeled back, grab it with a paper towel to get a good grip and begin pulling. Once the membrane is removed rinse off the ribs again and pat dry with some paper towels.
  • Mustard Rub:.
  • Mix rub mixture together.
  • Then rub the mustard rub mixture over the entire surface of the ribs.
  • Once the pork ribs are seasoned and the smoker is ready then you are set to go. Using a blend of oak, hickory and a little mesquite in the firebox,or what you prefer.
  • Place the ribs in the smoker and let it go. You want the good smoking temperature in the area about 200 degrees. You can go lower if you plan on doing a long smoke, but I don't go higher.
  • After smoking for 2 hours. Then wrap the ribs in heavy duty foil and keep going for 2 more hours. Creating fall off the bone ribs! Then unwrap for one hour.
  • To serve I cut the ribs inIf you want crispy ribs blast the heat on the grill and char them.
  • If you want extra sweet, spicy, sticky goodness dip into your favorite BBQ sauce. Apply the sauce when the foil comes off, but for crispy ribs apply after crisping. If you want extra smoke go ahead and add more wood when unwrapping the ribs.
  • Let ribs sit for 10 minutes before cutting into servings.

Time 8h55m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 19

¼ cup kosher salt
¼ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup paprika
3 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon celery seed
16 pounds pork spareribs
1 apple, quartered
1 orange, cut into wedges
1 lemon, cut into wedges
1 lime, cut into wedges
1 onion, cut into wedges
3 cups red wine
3 cups water
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup lime juice
½ cup ketchup

Steps:

  • Combine the salt, brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and celery seed in a bowl; set aside. Remove all heavy fat from the ribs, then remove and discard the membrane covering the rib side. Cut the slabs into 3 to 4 bone portions, cutting evenly between the ribs to leave some meat on each portion.
  • Rub the spice mixture into the rib portions front and back until all of the spice mixture has been used. Place the ribs into a resealable plastic bag, and refrigerate 4 hours to overnight. Letting the ribs sit overnight will give them the best flavor.
  • When ready to cook, fill the water pan of your smoker with the apple, orange, lemon, lime, onion, red wine, and water. If you do not have a water pan, place the ingredients into a metal bowl, and set the bowl on the drip tray, above the heat source. Smoke with the wood chips of your choice at 250 to 300 degrees F (120 to 150 degrees C) until the ribs are no longer pink, and the meat easily pulls from the bone, 4 to 6 hours or more depending on the smoker and temperature. Change the wood chips according to manufacturer's directions.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-low heat, and lightly oil grate. Stir together the soy sauce, lime juice, and ketchup in a bowl to make the barbeque sauce; set aside.
  • After the ribs are fully cooked, remove them from the smoker, and brush them with the barbeque sauce. Cook on the preheated grill, brushing occasionally with the sauce, until the sauce has become sticky and infused into the ribs, 15 to 20 minutes.

Categories     main-dish

Time 8h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

One 5-pound Boston pork butt, cut into country-style ribs
Your favorite spice rub, for coating ribs
Kansas City-style BBQ sauce (preferably without liquid smoke), for slathering on ribs
Apple juice, as needed, optional

Steps:

  • Prepare a smoker or set up a grill for indirect heat to 200 to 225 degrees F. I use oak wood for my smoke, but pecan or cherry wood also work well.
  • Rinse and then pat dry the ribs. Place in a rectangular pan and coat with a liberal amount of rub on all sides, shaking off any excess. Smoke or grill the ribs for 3 to 4 hours. If the grill or smoker becomes too hot, open the lid and spray the ribs with apple juice, otherwise do not open the lid. If you're looking, you're not cooking.
  • Remove the ribs, wrap in heavy-duty foil and cover tightly. Return to the smoker or grill for another 2 to 3 hours. Pour the BBQ sauce into a squirt bottle. Uncover the ribs and generously apply BBQ sauce. Reduce the temperature to 150 to 175 degrees F. Once the sauce has "melded" to the ribs, remove and let rest. That's it, good luck.
