Wish I could remember where/ who  I stole this idea from so I could give proper credit.

Rotisserie baby backs smoked with Todd's Amaz'n Tube.

As you can see, the spit was woven every two or three ribs the length of the baby backs.

Used a cheap store bought seasoning on 2/3 of the ribs and only kosher salt and freshly ground peppercorns on the other third.

Recently discovered my wife is allergic to just about any kind of spice; string designates her portion without spices.

(Cliff your little talk about MSG was not lost on us)

I want to maintain some degree of credibility so I will be careful about what I have just been given.

Tonight these ribs represent to me some of the best of what God gives us.

Folks these ribs are not like anything I have ever had before! ! ! !

The taste was out of this world, the texture had a certain crunchiness to the thin bark and the meat was as moist and more flavorful as I have ever, ever had!

To qualify a bit: DIFFERENT from our traditional bbq ribs.

Here are the pics of how they turned out. (chef's choice snip on last pic)

Good job Albert.  You could thank Don for that tip but it wouldn't be right 'cause I'm sure it wasn't him.  Dee

I am going to steal my own thread.

Why do you'all suppose the ribs cooked so quickly?

Here is the temperature sequence:

1) preheated all grates on high
2) turned all burners to 6:00 o'clock when I placed rotisserie on grill.

Ribs done (almost too well) in 30-40 minutes.

Normally my ribs take twice as long if entirely cooked by placing directly on the grates (maybe cook at 4:30 o'clock).

ALL EARS ! ! !

Nice looking ribs Albert!

If they cooked so fast, you'd have to think the temperature is too high.  That's easy to do on the  Quantum.  Mine gets real hot real fast.
I'd recommend starting at the 6 o'clock position and Pre-heating only as long as it takes to set up the rotisserie.  Once you have it started, move 'em to the
4 o'clock position. Also, place a pan of water under the ribs.
An alternative would be to use only the outside burner. I wish I could be there to experiment with you.

Uncle Dee cooks on the Quantum...he might have a tip for you.

Jaxon, Not that I will always do Ribs this method from now on but they were some mighty fine, tender and moist ribs!

Good enough to deliberately cook for quest... they were extremely good! Different, but good.


Now, the point that I want to make: FAST!... 30-40 minutes !

So you're saying if we make a quick trip over there we can have ribs for supper?
Title: Re: Versatile tube smoker (modified post, added pictures of finish)
Post by: Albert Rivera on January 01, 2014, 10:53:01 AM
They will be ready even if you are half way here!

Next I am going to experiment with regular ribs (these were baby backs).

I am going to get the meat cutter to use his band saw and cut regular ribs length wise so that when placed on rotisserie they clear the grates as they turn.
