Time to Barbeque!

April 27, 2016Belinda MunsonFood, RecipesNo Comments

Spring is here and summer is around the corner. Time for some backyard BBQ! I picked up some pork ribs for an impromptu cookout. I like to cook them in the oven during the winter but I’m craving some of that smoky woody flavor that you can best get from a outdoor smoker. I bought mine at an auction a few years ago. It’s a Brinkman’s electric smoker. I don’t have a temperature gauge so I just practice with it. The failures have turned out delicious too? So far I’ve made ribs, turkey and chickens. 

I start by putting a rub on the ribs. I decided to coat them in the rub the night before to save time. And, I don’t think it hurts anything. The rub I used is a mix of mesquite seasonings and brown sugar. I put them in the smoker for three hours. I don’t have a thermometer on the smoker so I error on the low side. A good temp is suppose to be around 250 if you have a thermometer.

After three hours I take them off the smoker rack and cover them in heavy duty foil. Back on the rack they go for another 2 hours. I sprayed a little apple juice when I wrap them up to help steam the ribs as they cook. The tightly wrapped foil helps to tenderize the meat.

The next stage is when I add the sauce. Take the ribs off the rack and remove foil. this last step requires you to switch to a grill. The heat from the grill helps caramelize the sauce to the ribs. Yum! So, place them on the grill but coat them in BBQ sauce of your choice. I prefer Sweet Baby Rays! Cook until the sauce thickens. 

Don’t open the lid! You will lose heat and throw off your cooking time.  I know this is a very loose recipe but you get the idea.

The Travels of a Culinary Adventurer...

About Me

I'm just a simple Midwestern wife and mother with a passion for food and all things related. Nothing too complicated here! I decided to journal my food adventures! I am not a trained chef and I don't claim to be. I just like really good food! Most of my travels are going to be in the Middle of the United States but I will be posting my food adventures when I travel to different places. I will share recipes that I enjoy and are crowd pleasers in my home. I love to cook and wish I had more time to experiment with new recipes. So, this is a new endeavor for me. I will be tweaking this along the way as I continue to learn about the world of blogging.
