This post is dedicated to my friend Mike. He never steers me wrong.
I have been cooking ribs for a long time. I've been on my rib journey for over 30 years or so. I don't cook for appearance but for taste. I have cooked over 2400 hundred racks of ribs and used over 100's of rubs. I have tried wrapped and unwrapped, different smoker temps, different rubs, different times, different smokers (that part doesn't matter). These are my best ribs in my opinion and the end of my rib quest. From now on this is the way I'm making all my ribs. Thanks Mike for ending my journey. I am kinda glad it's over. When you get it right you know it. These are my best tasting ribs I have ever made.
And it all starts with 1 weber cube.
The players.
I let them sweat. I really believe it's the best way. I
never put rub on my ribs and let them sit over night. The salt in rubs will give your ribs a hammy taste. I want my ribs to taste like ribs not ham.
This is my setup for my PK 360. I used weber charcoal for this cook.
I set up my iq 120 because I want my temp very steady.
Let's get up to temp. 250°.
EVERYONE IN THE POOL.
This is what they look like after 2 hours @ 250°.
They look good so far. Time for some foil love.
1 more hour on the PK.
Got some good color.
Back on.
Tooth pick ready. I'm really liken these.
I let them rest until I finished a Guinness stout. Anticipating is great.
Fantastic bite to them. Not under cooked or over cooked. Perfect.
THIS IS THE BEST RUB I HAVE EVERY USED.. (Thanks Mike).
The journey is over.
