Baby Back Ribs

Ingredients –

Paprika

Sea Salt                                                               

Pepper

Garlic powder

Three racks of Ribs

I seasoned the ribs with the dry ingredients the night before and wrapped them in aluminum foil.

The cooking time is 6 hours. Three hours on smoke, two hours at 225 wrapped in foil, and one hour in the end back open to the heat. The final hour you can baste with your favorite BBQ sauce. I prefer to add sauce when I eat them. In the interest of pleasing the guest (my mom) I will slather one rack with BBQ sauce.

Here are a few preparation and the usual spices shots.

You have to be dedicated for this; I got up at 6:30am to get the party started.

Here are the ribs after 5 hours. Three hours on smoke and two on 225. At this point I will baste with a mixture of 10% apple juice and 90% water.  Previously I got too overzealous with my mixture and my country style ribs turned out very sweet.

Here is the final product. I will let them rest for about 15 minutes and we are ready for our Fourth of July lunch. Along with the ribs we are having backed potatoes with tzatziki sauce, and a spinach salad.

Enjoy! Happy Forth.
