How to cook ribs

Google 3-2-1 method for ribs at 225.... Or 2-2-1 at 250.

Like stated above do not forget to peel the membrane off the back of each rack. Your teeth will thank you. I use a paper towel to grab and pull. Very easy.

I have a rack of ribs in the fridge right now...I was gonna freeze them for a later date. I'm feeling inspired.

Carefull with some of the cooking times shown. You said you were cooking Baby Backs. Most of the above times are for Spares. Baby Backs will cook faster than Spares. All above pics look great.

Terrible thread to scroll mid morning at work

Judging from the above posts:

Cook them at 225 to 325 degrees for a total time of 3 to 6.25 hours.
They will be perfect every time.....

Crap.. Thanks for pointing that out. I totally missed the baby back part in the OP for my first reply. I would do 2-2-1 at 225 or 2-1.5-.5 at 275.

Check out Alton Browns recipe on food network.com - they have always come out as good as the smoker. We always finish on the grill

We typically use mustard as a conduit for the rub.

It cooks out during the smoke process.

I don't like saucy, sweet ribs. I rub with mustard and then my dry rub. Throw them on the smoker at 225-250 and usually about 4 hours. No foil, no sauce. They come out great. Only ever did one cook off, and it wasn't a big one, just a company cook off, but I took 1st place.

Where is the best place to buy pork ribs? Meat market, walmart? I've used the hormel brand several times but would like a Better quality meat?

If I don't feel like firing up the smoker, I'll cook baby backs this way sometimes.

Pressure cook them for about 5-8 minutes, to get them about 75% done. You don't want to pressure cook them too long as they will fall apart if not careful. Once it hits the time frame, run cold water over the pressure cooker lid, which will break the seal and immediately get them to stop cooking.

Let rest on a plate to cool. Throw on the grill and cook for about 2 minutes per side and then slather with favorite BBQ sauce. Let the sauce carmelize for a couple minutes. I use a Weber with charcoal fire to do this. Obviously, you could use wood or even gas grill.

The ribs will come out fall of the bone tender and will have good smoke flavor from the grill.

I'll use this method if I don't feel like setting up the electric smoker. This method is faster and less cleanup.

well, i can tell you how texas roadhouse makes their "fall off the bone ribs". I used to moonlight bartending there a couple years ago.

they stand their ribs up, two racks, leaning against each other. they are elevated above a pan of water about 1/2 inch deep, with a bit of liquid smoke type stuff mixed in the water. covered with foil.

put in the oven for 3 hrs at 325 degrees.

pulled, and slathered with bbq sauce and thrown on the grill for only 5 min per side, just to carmalize the bbq sauce on it.

that's it. and they're delicious in my opinion. basically, you're steaming the ribs in the pan.. because the bones are facing downwards, the steam enters the bone and loostens the connective tissue holding the meat to the bone. thus, "fall off the bone ribs"

once i saw how they do it, i tried it at home and had the same exact results as texas roadhouse.... it works.

now don't tell anyone because i'll probably get sued by them.

Fall off the bone? That is roast, not ribs
