clickclack 0 Posted July 14, 2007 I don't believe you're steering anyone wrong--boiling is just something I'm against in the cooking of ribs. I tend to do the low and slow smoking of my ribs and the fat in the ribs melts and adds flavor. This may also be psychological, but it just seems like boiling ribs is boiling out the flavor. the AJ boils some of the fat off- the ribs have pleanty of flavor- especially if you get a good rack-- the AJ "boils" in the sweet flavor-- throw some sauce on with honey- your golden- My friends and I had a rib contest over the July 4th weekend-- guess who won?

I'm not a big boiling guy either. I don't want to boil off the fat, seeing as how the fat adds moisture and flavor as the ribs are cooking. For me, part of the experience of cooking ribs is the psychology of cooking with fire and trying to control the heat and smoke. Boiling just takes the fun out IMO. But not everyone has access or time to smoke meat. If you are going to cook them inside, at least use the oven and put the ribs in foil. Make sure you put them in bone side up. And this would apply when you use a smoker and put the ribs in foil during the 3rd or 4th hour. That way the ribs "cook" in their own juices. Much more tender and flavorful.

skylive5 522 Posted July 16, 2007 Thank each and everyone of you for your input.... some interesting takes on ribs and the taking care of same. LOL Here is what I did: Went to the commissary and bought a jar of Grill Mates Pork Rub. (Dry) On two racks I used salt, pepper, the rub and wrapped in alum foil. On two racks I used salt, pepper and wrapped in alum foil. Immediately placed in oven at preheated 250 for 3 1/2 hours. Uncovered and sloshed on Jack Daniels Original #7 BBQ sauce.... lightly. Cooked for another 1/2 hour. Pulled out of oven...placed on platters... served. Sides included cole slaw, homemade baked beans, potato salad, chunks of french bread using cold real butter as the spread, roast chicken legs, and homemade apple pie with store bought high end vanilla ice cream for desert. The BBQ snobs next door left no rib uneaten and wanted more. The meat fell off the bones so I guess I cooked it long enough. LOL Not counting the going to the commissary, fixing my drink, and tearing off the alum foil....the total prep time was about 28 micro seconds. Again...thanks everyone.
