baby backs

[uncle-honky]

I have read some wheres that baby backs are not good for smokin'. Is this true and why? Any help is much appreciated...thanks

 

[babyback]

I love smokin' babybacks, anyone who says they are no good for smokin' should be flogged! Smoke them using the 2-2-1 method and they come out real good.

I love baby backs. Give them the 2-2-1 treatment-Good Eating

Appearantly you are a faster typer than me. Great minds think alike.

HUH? I wonder who said that? Probably the same person the boils thier meat.

They are great.

 

[smokebuzz]

NO NO ,,they are nasty, Send ALL you have to me for proper disposel. Please let me suffer eatting them.

 

[babyback]

Maybe I was wrong? Maybe babybacks don't taste good smoked, and I just don't know it. I think I will have to smoke some up and find out...

 

[chef_boy812]

maybe they tried to roll them up and smke them like a marlboro.

that might not be bad either come to think of it.


I actually never had them anyother way, and I turned out just fine.

I think BB's are awesome smoked, I did some a couple weeks ago, and they were great.

 

[babyback]

I like your plate, Solar!

 

[chef_boy812]

That looks like a magazine cover, awesome job!!

What are your two sauces?

 

[solar]

Thank you, it's the neighbor plate special.

Thanks, the sauces are nothing special, one is just KC Masterpiece, the other is a cheap sauce called Open Pit, it's a sharp vinegar based sauce but I love it.

 

[chef_boy812]

I was raised on open pit, that is a great sauce!

It is a great base sauce to modify and play with too.

I once mixed it with raspberry jelly for smoked meat balls for a part. delish

 

[flash]

Yep, sounds like someone tried to par-boil some

I am more in the 2-1.5-.5 camp on BB's. Prefer spares but I'll pretty much eat any rib put in front of me, as long as its not par-boiled.

I have done the BB 2-2-1 and they have been great.But I have a friend that went to a BBQ SMOKING school and said no,no no, just leave em unfoiled for 5-6 hours at temp. will try next time. can't hurt.
does any one else not foil? and the reason please.
I guess I do it because smf say's to.. all been good.

 

[babyback]

I have always foiled them because that is how I learned to do it here. Now that I kinda got rib smokin' down, I just don't mess with it. Maybe next time I will leave one rack unwrapped to see how it comes out.

 

[coyote]

good idea. if it mess's up only one.if you do it before I , post results.I will also.but not till monday. I bring them to the fire station..they love em

 

[uncle-honky]

Thank you, it's the neighbor plate special.

can i be your neighbor

 

[douglaslizard]

ive never foiled baby backs or spares and they always turn out great .in my opinion foiling ribs is just basically good for speeding up the cooking process.but i do know people who foil and swear by it so i guess its just personal preference to me.
