Ribs

[bill ace 350]

Grabbed a pack of ribs at the commissary yesterday.

Normally get the baby backs, but though these looked good...

Not sure about the price.

Anyway, mixed 1 tbs TQ per pound , garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and black pepper and gave them a good rub.

In fridge overnight. Will pull tomorrow, rinse and dry.

Cook over weber snake with apple. Serve with baked beans and salad.

Looks like a nice slab.

Ahhh, My TQ arrived yesterday so I'm new to this, but from the first (and only) recipe I saw on the Morton site, aren't you supposed to rinse that off before cooking? Full disclosure, I have not even really looked at the bags yet. But I bought that stuff after seeing a thread here where someone did pork loin chops for 1-2 hrs dry brine, then rinsed under water and cooked. I was under the impression it was not to stay on. Welcome any rebuttal.

He is going to rinse off tomorrow. TQ is a curing agent if you didn't know. That loin if left to cure makes great Canadian bacon.

Ahhh, ok, I'm showing my alcoholism, somehow I missed that line about rinsing. :hides under chair: Ok.. gotcha.. Lol.

Sorry guys... under the influence I guess...

Local Aldis has full spares for $2.09 /#. StL cut are $2.49/#
Got a StL package a couple of weeks ago and it was good. Thought about it yesterday, but decided to get a butt as my wife wants more breakfast sausage.

Looks like i need to look around more! Just so convenient to shop at commissary since I work on post. Those prices beat the heck out of what i paid....

I rinse them.

Does the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and black pepper also go on with the TQ and then get rinsed off also? That's the part that threw me.

It goes on together. This is loosely based on a Polish recipe. My first time trying it.

Gotcha, then the Poles must get a better deal on spices than I get. I'm not likely to rinse a bunch of Penzey's stuff down the drain.

Anxiously awaiting your review. I have 3 racks of baby backs in the freezer. I'm tempted to pull one and cook this weekend using the new smoker. That's why I was looking at rib threads to begin with was to get ideas. I'm a ~1 month newb to smokers. In the past, I never did ribs on a grill due to drying them out. Just found it easier foil wrapped in the oven, but, not much smoke flavor that way...

Just looked at my local Weis store app, (have little choice in grocery stores nearby). $2.67/Lb for baby backs right now if you buy 3. That's about the best I've seen here in a long time. Says "regular" price is 7.99 I'd say typically I recall $4.99/Lb but I don't buy them here because of the pricing.

If we drive 40 minutes, they're $1.99 or sometimes $1.79. But the gas eats up the savings unless I'm getting a lot of other stuff. Can't say I recall pricing on spare ribs but as I recall, they're similar. Everything here locally is ridiculous. Even Walmart is often worse than Weis, and in the next town they're next door neighbors.

Edit: Looked at the app for spare ribs... 3 options. $3.99, 4.99, 3.99... wow. Now I remember why I never even look at em.
