    Ribs in Beer?

    So what I learned about beer in the foil: It has a super powerful effect. A couple oz. will change the flavor of your ribs a lot. I ended up liking the mixture of beer and apple juice better as it was more subtle. The meat's flavor actually reminded me of the Jack Danials sauce by TGIFridays...

    Ribs in Beer?

    You know, those were on sale as well, but I didn't know how all that extra untrimmed meat would do in the smoker. I'll look for some techniques. They'll still be on sale tomorrow and I could throw them in the freezer for a couple weeks.

    Ribs in Beer?

    Actually, I live in mid-Michigan. I'm smokin' in the snow. I had to build a styrofoam enclosure to keep the smoker at temp. Baby backs are not my favorite, but were on sale this week as the local grocery store. I prefer St. Louis cut spares.

But, I like to keep her happy and there's no bad way to eat smoked ribs. I have three racks cut in half so I will...

    New to the smoke

    Hello all. My name is Jeff and I have been "trolling" this site for a while learning some great techniques. I just got a new MES 30 and am enjoying the heck out of it. My 7 year old son and I love smoked ribs and we've been spending too much money other folks BBQ. So wee started smoking our own...

    Ribs in Beer?

    Hello fellow smokers. I have been using this forum for a while now to get me started in smoking. I'm about to smoke some babby backs tomorrow and wonder if anyone uses beer in their foil during a 3-2-1 type smoke? I've had great luck with apple juice but am starting to get that creative feeling.
