Title: MAK Super Pig Ribs
Post by: teesquare on March 24, 2013, 10:25:09 PM
I cracked open an FT, and thought "What Would Sparky Do"....the answer?...RIBS ;D ;D ;D

So - I had a pack of Baby Backs, and CYM'ed them,and put a generous amount of Super Pig on 'em, then - into the MAK for 30 minutes of 100% Cherry cold smoke via an Amazen Tube. Then, 2 hours @300F

Then - foiled, with 1/2 cup of fresh Apple cider for 1 hour @ 300F

Then, glazed with a mixture of Apple jelly, Apple cider vinegar, and Super Pig for a sweet-heat + tart glaze

They were really, really good.  No other sauce was needed...or wanted ;) Came off the bone with a tug - but not "fall-off the bone". Nice bite texture, not mushy. The 2-1-1/2 for the baby backs is my choice for now.

I'm glad they turned out the way they did.  They do look good!  My mouth was watering the whole time we talked about how you were going to cook them.  Damn!!  Now I want some ribs!

I am still amazed and surprised when something comes out really good when I cook. I know that sounds like "fake humility"...I assure you, it is not. :D
Right after these ribs - I burned the carp out of a pizza....I was so distracted by eating the ribs - I just spaced for a couple minutes too long ::)

But - the ribs were worthwhile. ;)

The ribs loo0k just right Tee! The last BBR's I did were 1.5-1.5-1 on my Traeger at 225 deg, which is 250 at grill level. I was finding the much tooted 3-2-1 was too long for me. Don

Yeah...I think the 3-2-1 is probably intended more for St. Louis cuts and such....the BBRs just can't take that.

Thanks Sparky! - I cooked them on the right side of the grill, with the drip pan in place - but on the right is  away from the flame zone

It is just too complicated a shape to fight with the foil Smoke.... ;)

Very nice looking ribs. Just got me a batch of cherry will have to try these.

The cherry adds a nice sweet smoke - but I think it colors the meat with that nice red color better than  some other woods.
Now...If I had cold smoked for hours - I would have a nice smoke ring too.
