Keytickler Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Brine them if you want before. Use the rub of your choice. and let them sit with the rub after removing from the brine for awhile. Cook low and slow indirect 250-300 F using a rib rack. for about 3 hours. Baste lightly with your favorite BBQ sauce if you like for the last 20 minutes of cooking. Here's the secret: Take the ribs off the grill when done, wrap them in foil, and put them in a brown paper grocery bag for about 1 hour while you prepare the rest of the meal. The ribs stay hot, and when you unwrap them before serving they will be succulent. Add sauce if desired as a condiment at this point. You will not be disappointed! Props to Primeats for excellent ribs which I purchased from his shop last weekend. Keytickler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primeats Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Thanks Keith,Premium Standard Farms baby back ribs, or Prairie Grove Farms ribs. Very meaty and enough fat to make them a success! I just finished some leftovers that were hiding in the fridge...cold, no sauce, now off to the beach! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winds Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Is there any good brining recipe for ribs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Malter Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 I use a standard recipe of 1 qt water, 1/4 cup kosher salt, 1/4 cup brown sugar and occasionally a crushed garlic. Rinse well after. For ribs, about 1-2 hrs to my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first tried a brine on some baby backs, my container was only large enough to hold 2 of the 3 racks that came in the package. There was a noticeable difference in the brined racks from the un-brined rack, and they were all cooked identically at the same time. I have brined every rack of ribs I have cooked since then, too.
