I decided I wanted to make baby back ribs and make them nice and slow. I had picked up a pork baby back ribs with the loin on them. This is the first time I cooked these style of ribs so of course it was an experiment!
The house I was cooking at had just a plane ole gas bbq and I love smoking with hickory wood chips so my first step was to fabricate a way to infuse some hickory smoke into a normal bbq. I decided that I can fabricate one by taking a frying pan and covering it with some tin foil. I would put that pan over the direct heat to keep the chips smoking after I got them started on the stove top. I used the tin foil to make almost a pipe to where the meat was to ensure the smokey goodness was getting to the meat. In my pan i placed about 10 hickory woodchips that were tossed with about 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
Ok now that I had fabricated a smoker it was time to turn to the meat. I used my traditional rub:
Salt
Black Pepper
Yellow Curry
Cumin
Cayenne
Paprika
I then made a sauce to baste the ribs with that had the following in it:
Mustard
Ketchup
Brown Sugar
Stubbs BBQ Sauce
I spent about 5 hours cooking them at a low temperature and the result was amazing! I would say though that if you get baby back with the loin on them I would recommend an 8 hour cook time instead. It could of been more tender.
