Ribs Today

Great lookin ' ribs, man...
Were those cooked in the barrel?
I'm STILL lookin' for beef ribs with meat on 'em.   Those look real meaty.

When two pockets comes down to see you, be sure he goes to
McGuire's.  One of top five places I've enjoyed.

Those are some delicious looking ribs Rad!

Those look really good, RAD 

It's a good thing you don't consume calories just by looking, else I'd gain a hundred pounds from the photos of all the great looking food I see posted on the forum

Jax,

I cooked the ribs on the fatboy. That thing is still kicking.

pz,

you would be one of the ones making everyone fat if you gain calories just by looking 

[Wing Commander]

Nice job. That all looks great.

[sparky]

I like that the had a crust on them.  and you didn't ruin them w/ sauce.  nice rib cook partner.

Thanks guys.
I took a rack to work and before 10AM it was gone. No beef ribs for them. I had the last one for lunch with the rest of the FS&B rack. If I see those beef ribs again I will buy more then one pack. Very, very good.

Since you didn't foil them, did you baste them with anything? I always tend to get things too dry if I don't foil or baste with some sort of mopping sauce.

No foil or baste. I did put water in the bowl and I've found that does make a difference for me. I know I've been told time and time again that the water in the bowl doesn't really help but I find that it does.

Never heard that from me RAD

The water bowl adds humidity so that smoke is better absorbed by the meat and the humidity keeps things from drying out. It also does catch grease and insulate the protein from direct heat. And can help keep the temps more stable by absorbing/releasing heat.

When smoking chicken I would not use the water bowl however due to the moisture content is really high in chicken and not needed IMHO.

I use a water bowl, but it still  seems to be dry if I don't foil. I thought maybe basting might help. That is the reason I turned to foiling.

No question that the water bowl gets the drippings!

[RAD]

I remember some who would swear that the bowl is only needed as a heat shield and would fill it with sand vice water. I have found over the years that I like to a add a liquid in the bowl.

I find that when I foil the ribs they get too soft for me. I like the tug of the meat when I bite into a rib.

Good looking ribs, and I don't foil and seldom use sauce.

Those are some great looking ribs. I am on a quest now for meaty beef ribs and a steak for Halloween night. You guys make me hungry
