Title: Hybrid Ribs Not Quite Big-Boy But Certainly Not Wrapped
Post by: hikerman on May 26, 2014, 09:42:23 PM
The last several weeks there have been a lot, of really nice ribs posted here. I was ready for my hand at more ribs. I mixed at a 2:1 ratio Fine Swine & Bovine with Way Out West. Plenty was rubbed in on top of a mustard swab. Vacuum sealed for 2 days, and a fresh coat of Fine Swine upon opening. Ribs went onto the grill for 90 min. @ 150F using LumberJack Oak Hickory Cherry pellets. Upped the temp to 225F and added a pan of some Kentucky Bourbon Beans inspired by MeatHead over at Amazing Ribs. Then the ribs went on, sprayed periodically with a blend of Redd's Apple Ale, M3, and maple syrup.
After awhile the sprayer plugged  ::) so then just mopped this on. 3 hrs. later I made the decision to put butter, brown sugar mixed with more Fine Swine onto foil, then I placed the rack on top meat-side down and added a Cup of Redd's Apple Ale and left open for all to make nicey nice in the pool for another hour. At this point it started storming and raining like a monsoon. After the hour long storm passed, rack was placed meat-side up and basted with the reduced juices with a bit of honey and ancho powder. Temp upped to 350F to finish and we were done. Ribs were very fine, beans were very fine and all was served with a garden salad with bleu cheese and a cople Summer Helles. 30 minutes later my dearest served adessert, strawberry rhubarb almond crumble with a dab of whipped cream. Wow!   :P

I really liked it. I started mixing WOW with several different rubs and it seems to improve all with a fuller flavor but not diminishing the taste of the main rub. It's great stuff!

Nice lookin ribs Gene, and love the looks of the beans!!! Ribs have great color but I don't care for the brown sugar and margarine on mine, too sweet for me. Don

Wow Gene, you just nailed those ribs. Plate looks fantastic ;D

Rhubarb is my "kryptonite" one of the very few things I don't seem to care for :(

X3 - interesting idea re: WOW as a supplement to other rubs... hadn't thought about it, but I think you are on to something...

As I was reading your post I was thinking how is he going to get maple syrup to spray ???  You ain't!

I've had more frustrations with spray bottles, so now I just mop.

Excellent looking ribs!

Pappy you can.....nuke or heat your concoction until it all blends well then spray. My dillema was caused by the large particles of rub. I wanted to put in a spice grinder but time got away from me. I agree tho, it's all mopping from here on!
We live and learn. ....or we don't!   ;)
