Baby Back Ribs!

[Carver]

So I spent some quality time with my smoker today, and here are the fruits of my labor. If you need me, I'll be on the couch with the meat sweats for the rest of the day.

Awesome! I smoke my ribs dry w/ a rub too. Barbeque sauce is for the table!

I was told by a nice feller in Texas one time not to eat BBQ that comes with sauce on it unless you ask them to put it on for you.

Yeah I always smoke em' dry, but I also have a nice homemade sauce that I use at the table. I've been refining my rub/sauce recipe for the past 5 years or so. I like them both ways (dry/wet) though.

That's good advice. "Wet" ribs are a Memphis thing IIRC.

Carver...would you be willing to bottle up some of your creations and send them to me to try out? I'll pay for it.

Yeah most ribs in Memphis are wet with a sweet Molasses sauce, however, my favorite ribs in memphis are at the Rendezvous...They do them dry, then add tangy sauce at the table. I like my sauce to have a little sweet/sour thing going. My recipe is like a combination of Carolina and Memphis sauces.

Believe it or not, I have a deal in the works to have my sauce bottled and put in some local markets. I'll keep you in the loop!

That is way cool bro. Don't forget about us when you turn into a big shot...making appearances on Rachael Ray's show, Food Network, and Oprah.

The way I cook ribs is: wrap them in aluminum foil and put them on the oven for 90 minutes, after that, grill them on mezquite charcoal for 10 more minutes. Yummy

im not a fan of bbq sauce on meat. the smoke adds enough flavor.

I like 'em wet and falling off the bone, but what do I know. I'm from California.

IMO too much fuss is made over the wet or dry debate. Everyone has a preference but the bottom line is whichever one you prefer you still like the other.......they are both good. When it comes to smoked meats, brisket is king to me.

I make it down to Austin, Tx a fair bit, and love getting food from a great bbq place called The Salt Lick.

Polarizing issues make for interesting (and hilarious) threads.

I'm going to go play my SX bass with a pick through a solid state amp, now.

Dammit, Brian! You bumped this and now I'm craving BBQ! *sigh* Not your fault... BBQ is the corporeal form of happiness slow cooked and slathered in delicious sauce....
