Pork Ribs 2/22/16

I wanted to do some pork ribs in much the same manner that I did the last pork butt. I’ve never injected my ribs before and I thought this would be a good week to try it out.

Ingredients #

The Meat #

1 Rack St Louis Style Pork Ribs

The Injection #

• Apple Juice Concentrate (Frozen)
• Cinnamon
• Garlic powder
• Salt/Pepper
• Cumin
• Red Wine Vinegar (half cup)

The Rub #

• Mayonnaise
• Light dusting of Most Powerful Stuff - Amazon
• Light dusting of Zero to Hero - Amazon

Wood #

Cherry Chips - Amazon

Sauce #

Blues Hog Original - Amazon

Smoker #

Masterbuilt Electric - Amazon

Process #

• Remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs
• Rinse and dry the meat
• Inject, make sure to saturate the meat on both sides.
• Coated the ribs with a light mayo covering
• Dusted the ribs with the combination of rubs
• Smoked at 270 for 3 hours uncovered, no water bowl.

Results #

These ribs were pretty good. They tended to be a little too charred on top in some places. Honestly this whole process was rushed. I didnt pull them off the smoker until 9pm and by this time I was about ready for bed. I want to try this recipe again with some tweaks. For starters it needed a water bowl to keep some moisture in the smoker. I want to try and get a spray bottle to spray them with throughout the process. (Using the marinade mixture).

Next time around these will get only 2 hours of straight smoke and will be wrapped and finished in the oven.
