BBQ Smoked Ribs

[TheCrow]

So I finally decided to put the BBQ to some use. Hardest part was keeping the temps low enough but once I got to a temp I wanted it was very stable and only needed 1 top up.

Shiny BBQ sees the light of day:

Tried a dry rub and a sweet 'n' sticky:

Checked on everything after 2hrs:

After 3hrs I wrapped them in foil and left them for another 2hrs:

Another 1hr to crisp things up and we have the final product:

I also threw on some chicken breasts for a few hrs:

Sorry I didn't get any full money shots was to busy eating them and with hands that messy I wasn't going to start playing with my phone. They did taste excellent!!!!

They had a really nice deep smoke ring on them. I prefered the sweet'n'sticky ribs, but they both got polished off with out any hesitation! Think the dry rub on its own was a bit too spicy.

Rub Used

I have got lumpwood for my next smoking (pork shoulder) but wanted to try out the briquettes to see how they were and they were starting to get old so might have been getting damp.

The chicken was on the cold side to begin with, only moved them over to the coals on some tinfoil to finish them off with the bbq glaze.


Do people have any suggestions for good (generic) bbq rubs? I could make my own....but a few sites have said that they have ended up with commercial rubs as they just taste better / more consistent. Unfortunately all american sites so can t buy the stuff here.
