In a previous post I discussed a video in which an accomplished barbecue pitmaster explained that he marinated his ribs before cooking them. It is an interesting concept but one in which I was unfamiliar. Today, we will take a closer look at a more traditional technique for preparing ribs. I picked a video in which an average guy with a small backyard smoker uses a dry rub, baste, and homemade barbecue sauce to flavor his ribs. One of his many great points is that he explained that a barbecue sauce cannot be mopped on the ribs until the last hour to an hour and half of smoking. This is done because some of the ingredients in the barbecue sauce would burn if smoked for any longer. I hope you find this video inspirational and informative as you begin to prepare for your Fourth of July barbecue. I think a lot of people believe ribs are difficult to cook, but judging from my experiences, I believe even a novice can smoke up a decent rack of ribs. Look at the guy in the video. He is certainly not a barbecue expert, but he managed to successfully smoke ribs.
I encourage you to watch the video which I have inserted below before embarking on your upcoming barbecue adventures. Also, if you would like a quality recipe for a dry rub, baste, barbecue sauce, check out the post I wrote about Bobby Flay's recipe. Have a safe holiday!
