So blame it on the Budweiser my wife got me.
Made Ribs tonight, slow cooked over a smoky fire with plenty of BBQ Sauce. (Home Made of course.) Ahhhh now if life could be as good as dinner was.

Nothing beats a nice big steak for me, but ribs are awesome too.

A while back I had to go and do some business at NASA Houston, which is actuallyClear Creek, TX. I heard tell of a place that supposedly had the best ribs in Texas. I drove down to a big old rambling shack out in the country. It was an all black place but I brged right in. I was about to get my ass kicked when the old black man who owned the place asked me why I had come. I told him that I had been told that he served the best ribs in Texas, with the best sauce and I came to find out for myself.

He cooked me a plate of ribs slathered with his own honey mustard sause. It was the best barbeque I have ever eaten. I paid the bill and headed toward the door. The old man stopped me and asked how the ribs were. I just told him that they should not have limited it to just Texas.

I can still remember the ribs when I read about ribs. Dammit!

Actually this time I didn't. Started with just a sprinkling of Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, and Pepper. After they seared turned down the heat and started basting them. Two hours later I pulled them off the grill and carefully cut them. (Bones were falling out as I pulled them off the grill.) Wood Chips, (Mesquite) were added every ten minutes to the smoke box to keep the smoke heavy.

Next time I'll be soaking them overnight in beer then grilling them. That should turn out good. (I'll have to put them on some heavy tin foil. Soak Ribs over night in beer and they'll be throwing the bones at you.)

So did you smoke them or grill them?

What I've been doing is parboiling the ribs in water/vinegar. Just cover them with water with a couple cups of vinegar in it (+pepper and bay leaf), bring them to a boil and turn it off while you light the fire. This tenderizes them and gives them some flavor and most importantly gets rid of some of the grease.

Then I dry rub them, and grill them low and slow, about 1.5 hours on a very low grill. No sauce till the last ten minutes.

These I Par Boiled, much like you do although I add Garlic. When I grilled them I smoke Grilled them. I have a smoke box I added to the grill and add wet chips as needed. Makes for some good ribs and tasty steaks.

Nice!

Just a personal observance on my part, but I'm very happy that vegetarians exist. Cows are vegetarians, so if we ever run out of cows for any reason we'll have plenty of bi-ped vegetarians to cook up.

Hhmmmm ... BBQ sauce for Soilent Green ...

I always cook them in the pressure cooker first. A rack or two of ribs, two red onions, a tablespoon of cayenne, and enough beer to cover them in the pan. 20 minutes later pull them out and throw the ribs into a baking dish full of my own BBQ sauce (secret) let them soak in the fridge for a couple hours and then onto the grill. Save the onions from the cooker and simmer them in a pan on the grill.

Grill some taters and corn on the cob to go with it and there ain't nothin' finer for dinner.

Last time I did a dry rub and a mop while they were cooking, with a little sauce just at the end. Slow-heat smoked them for about 2.5 hours. They came out beautiful, with the exception of one rack charred to the bone in the middle after the SO helpfully added a heap of coals to the fire deemed to have sunk too low. Fortunately the SO was proud of this assistance and told me about it in time for me to save the ribs.

*snicker*

two bumperstickers on the back of my car:
if we are supposed to be vegetarians, then why are animals made of meat.
and
save a cow, eat a vegetarian.

sounds like you cooking happy people should throw an AH BBQ. specially for those of us who are not rib savvy.

I think my sig line says it all about vegetarians

I like mine with very little sauce. i know making a mess is part of the fun or eating them, but when you know you are the one who has to clean up the mess, it does detract.
