Nope :-)

Friday stripped the back membrane
Friday a nice layer of my own dry Rub
Sunday brought them out of the fridge @ 8:30.
Started the http://www.chargriller.com/shop/grills/smokin-pro.html
Put then on @ 10:30 AM choked down the damper & chimney to get a good 210
degrees till 4:30 PM.

Used Smart & Final Mesquite Charcoal & a few chunks of red oak.

Pulled then @ 4:30, a light baste of sauce sealed them in a pan with foil &
into the oven @ 190 to stay warm.

We ate @ 6:30 and the meat literally fell off the bone.

Had the new Lime Bud Light - not bad.

Smoke some red bell peppers....better taste than roasted bell peppers.
Say 250F for 2 hours. I used Crab Apple wood in my propane powered
smoker. Just half them and clean them out. Great on burgers, in salads or
in meat loaf.

Great idea. Thanks



I had some heat left over in the side firebox.

I filleted some boneless skinless chicken breasts used some olive oil & rub
and grilled then over a perfect fire. - saved then for sandwiches.

LOL.. Some people like them that way. When I do ribs I make some
without sauce for me and some with it for Louise. The sauce isn't my
thing but as long as she's happy so am I.

Before placing them in the oven to "Hold" I give each rack a very light
brush of BBQ sauce. Then seal with foil and place in a 190 degree oven.

No offense, but I prefer mine on the drier chewier side, and may put some
sauce on if I'm going to "burn" it on before serving. I never add sauce
afterwards.

I live in Texas. I think it's against the law to put sauce on meat
before serving it.

Saturday was DH's birthday and I made ribs, homemade potato salad and
slaw. I rub them then smoke them. Next time I'll take a picture of them <g>

I'm not from Texas, but my sentiments exactly. Dry rub, then a wash a few
times while cooking. If I use anything at table, it would be hot sauce.

salad and twice baked potatoes. I mixed some cury into the mayo before
adding it to the potatoes....I tried that from a penzeys recipe and
discovered a little cury is very nice in tater salad

I lightly brush on the recipe below, I can only make this if I make a
double batch or the lady across the back lane gets mad if I don't give
her some.
@@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format

Alan's Apple Butter Bbq Sauce

BBQ, favorites, keeper, sauces/dips, tested

1 14 oz can hunts Italian tomato sauce.
1 cup apple butter
2 tbsp molasses
1 tbsp maggi sauce
1 tbsps franks hot sauce
1 tsp mustard powder
1 tbsp+ onion powder
2 tsp lemon juice
1 package slenda
liquid smoke; to taste
1/8 tsp mace

I used the juice and zest from 1 small lime instead of lemon juice.
Added 2 tbsps Apple Cider vinegar to correct sweetness...Think about not
adding splenda next time or at least taste test before you do.

If I were to tell her she couldn't have sauce I somehow think it might
**** her off. My ribs get smoked for hours and don't need sauce, but
she want's it anyway. I cook to please everyone, not just myself.

We had a party with neighbors this past weekend. One of them has
access to a big commercial smoker and pre-smoked 30+ pounds for the
party. The problem is the smoker is electric and there's not much
smoke flavor other than whatever comes from the wood chips. He put
the cooked ribs in big foil covered catering pans after he brushed
them heavily with mango habanero sauce, and warmed them in the oven.
They were done perfectly as far as texture but the flavor was mostly
sauce. He's a very good cook, but my ribs cooked over hickory,
cherry, or apple are much better. And they don't NEED sauce.

None taken.

I am still getting used to doing real Q here on the coast - the average
humidity is very high. I used to live in the high desert. where the humidity
was an the 10 to 30% range. Here it's in the 70 to 90% range depending on
the time of day.

These were a dry rub and NOT mopped during cooking. I find mopping washes
off the spices & herbs.

Just a side note, I don't mop the ribs once they go into the kettle, I
find mopping during cooking tends to Wash off the flavor of the rub.

A spray bottle makes the job easier.

I mopp with a apple juice mix say apple juice, cider vinegar and a bit of
fish sauce (this mix changes on a day by day bases as mood strikes). I use
a spray bottle and 'mist' the food...The idea is to moisten the food not
soak it and wash spices off. I use a little aleppo pepper in the rub...I
don't like heat much hotter than jalepeno so I use the aleppo to keep the
'heat' down. On occassion I make up some instant expresso and use that as a
mopp. I used to use cooked down (reduced) cola as a base for my mopps but
this burns too readily, the apple juice base having less sugar adds flavour
but doesn't burn as easily. Beer and V8, with herbs added is ok too, if you
cook in the herbs and strain the mix it too can be used to mist.

I run into this alot -- barbecue that is barely smoked.
"Electric smoker" == oxymoron.

I can't think of a legitimate BBQ technique that involves
applying a wet sauce during cooking. Right before serving,
sure, in some styles.

Can't you serve the sauce on the side? That's how we do it here.

Actually, well rubbed and smoked ribs need very little sauce.

I had dry-rubbed ribs that were spritzed with apple juice while they
smoked for a long time. The neighbor's son fixed them when he came for a
visit. They were excellent.

Happy birthday I read right over it.

All the best,


I tried smoking some beets but I had a tough time keeping them lit.

I don't mop frequently, but it seems that the mopping turns my dry rub into
sort of a sauce that gets really cooked into the meat. There's plenty of
flavor from the rub. I guess we all just have different styles.

Damn! Why have I never thought of that? I will definitely do that next
time. Thanks, Lou.

I never use a wet sauce on my ribs, before, during or after. If I add
anything at the table, it would be a few shakes of hot sauce.

The sauce gets put on about 15 minutes before the ribs are ready to be
pulled off. I add it ONLY to a portion for my SO. I then take her
portion from the smoke barrel and put it on the fire box grate until
the sauce browns. I guess you missed what you quoted above. That's
what she wants, and that's how I make hers.

>Actually, well rubbed and smoked ribs need very little sauce.


Mine don't need any and the only one who wants it is my SO. You think
I should dump her over this?

I dunno....hopefully most of us here to learn and teach.

Costco sells a multi-pack of spray bottles. I make sure they get
marked so I don't spray glass cleaner on food and keep them in the
same cabinet every time. Apple juice is the best.

>I will definitely do that next time. Thanks, Lou.


No prob. Glad to help.

David Bugg must still be on holiday with his son or he'd be on this
thread. I spoke here with him about a party I had that was aimed at
teaching a friend to make ribs. He bought everything except the wood
and I walked him through the 5-6 hour process. He brought a few
bottles of different sauces. When he and the other guests left the
sauces went with them. (un-opened) No one needed or wanted any.

Louise just wants the stuff. <big shrug>
