bobvoeh Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 We were just hanging out at the house for the 4th, so I woke up early and fired it up and put 4 half racks on. Its about time to give the outside a cleaning. 4 hours later... Man, they just melted in your mouth. Anyone else do any BBQ on the 4th?

TexasTim Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Re: July 4th Babybacks May I ask your "setup", i.e, smoke wood used, charcoal type used and cooking temp? Thanks Tex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firemonkey Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Re: July 4th Babybacks Yep. I did the same thing - 3 racks of baby backs over cherry and pecan smoke. Not a single picture either, which I think is a first for me. I've gotten bad about taking pictures, an never getting around to posting them, but these ribs while mighty good, were completely imaginary.

bobvoeh Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Re: July 4th Babybacks I used Royal Oak Natural Lump, cooking temp started at 225 rising to about 245. Left them on about 4 hours. For smoke I used a combination of Hickory, Mesquite and Apple chips. I used to use chunks, but with the small amount of fuel the Komodo goes through, I find I get better results with the smaller chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Re: July 4th Babybacks When I cook ribs I like to use the CoCo charcoal and apple wood for the smoke. I like Chris Lilly's rub but my wife is not a fan of the cumin in it so I came up with my own variation it's close to Chris Lilly’s but I add some chipotle and some smoked paprika. I take the blue skin off the ribs and rub them generously and let them set for about 1 hour before I put them on the K.K. at a temp. 225 to 250. I put aluminum foil over the top of the bottom grate and put the ribs on the next grate up. I cook them for about 2 to 2.5 hours like this then I pull them off and wrap them in aluminum foil with some brown sugar, a little more rub, butter, about 3 table spoons apple juice and just a touch of coke a cola. Then put them back on for about 1 hour. Pull them off put a little BBQ sauce on them put them back on the grill for about 15 min. then it's time to eat.
