NO FAIL BBQ BABY BACK RIBS (GRILL)

Steps:

• Remove silver skin from bone side of ribs. Never used to do this, but now understand why the pros do. Using the tine of a dinner fork helps get things started, then it just peels off.
• Put a large sheet of foil on the counter and place the ribs meat side down. You want enough foil to VERY lightly wrap (or tent) the ribs for grilling.
• All the spice measurements above are estimates. We like things a bit on the zippy side, but not burning hot -- just a little bite. With that said, we season the bone side of the ribs heavy with garlic powder, medium heavy with cayenne, medium heavy with pepper, and light with salt. Really hard to over do it, as after 4+ hours on the grill, the spices seem to mellow.
• Flip the ribs and repeat the seasoning. Again, may look heavy, but the flavors kinda vanish during cooking. Why you need to try it once and adjust to taste the 2nd time. I never taste the garlic no matter how much I put on, but the cayenne does adjust the spiciness. Even when we go pretty heavy with the cayenne, it is not over-powering.
• Lightly wrap the ribs. You want to create a tent on top so the foil does not touch the meat. Pull up the ends lightly and seal. You do want to seal things so moisture does not escape. You can put these in the fridge all day, or put on the grill immediately.
• I have a Weber Genesis gas grill that has a front, center and rear burner. Don't have to pre-heat, but I only turn on the front burner to low-medium -- grill will heat to about 250 degrees. Place the ribs towards the rear of the grill (away from the burner). Leave them there for 2 hours. Nothing you need to do except make sure the temp stays around 250. 200 is fine, 300 is fine -- but lower seems to produce better results.
• After 2 hours, open the foil and coat with BBQ sauce. Should be a lot of juice in the foil at this point. If not, add some water, beer, or something. Re-seal the foil and let them go another 2 hours.
• Now the tricky part. Pull the ribs towards the front the grill. Get a couple wide spatulas, open the foil, and carefully lift the rack of ribs from the foil and place directly on the center of the grill. At this point, the ribs will be pretty much done. Remove the foil from the grill. Turn on all the burners and coat the ribs with sauce. Close the lid. Things should start smoking from the sauce dripping and burning. If things are not smoking, turn up the heat. Keep an eye on things at this point. You do want a nice char, but you don't want to overdo it. Maybe 10-20 minutes for this step.
• Get the 2 spatulas and remove to a cookie sheet or platter. Enjoy.
• If you like Sweet Baby Ray's Original, you will like these. Fall off the bone every single time, and they require very little effort or attention. You can adjust the base seasoning to your liking. I have made these with the same general recipe and process from anywhere between 3 hours and 6 hours with very little loss in outcome. Hence the reason I call it "no fail".

ELMER'S BAR-B-QUE BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• 1. Ribs: wash off the blood and slice as you would want to serve them. Set aside
• 2. In a large bowl pour in the vinegar, water and worcestershire sauce and mix well.
• 3. Take the ribs and rub with meat tenderizer. Place them in the bowl. Dump in the coarse crushed red pepper and with your hands mix the ribs and pepper all around in the vinegar. Wrap with foil and place in the refrigerator for about 5 to 6 hours. Bring back out about an hour before cooking to allow meat to come to room temp.
• 4. I grill on a cast iron char coal grill so I use about 10 lbs. of coal. Place the ribs on the grill when coals have began to turn a little white close the lid and allow to cook slowly and turn on both sides until done. When done take the sauce and dip the ribs down in it and place back on grill and let heat on both sides a few minutes to lock in the flavor.
• 5. Sauce: In a large stock pot put the butter in and turn on medium heat. Let the butter melt. Chop and dice the onion, then put in the butter with the pressed garlic. Let onions slowly become tender. Add in the pepper, salt, brown sugar, mustard, celery seed,vinegar and lemon juice. Let this slowly cook for about 20 minutes with the lid on the pot. But go and stir often. Now add in the texas pete and worchestershire sauce and stir for a bout 3 minutes while heat is still on.
• 6. Now add in the ketchup and stir to mix in. Add about a cup of water to the bottle and shake well to gather up all the ketchup that is left behind. Pour into the pot then keep stirring while it comes to a gentle roll. Cook another 15 minutes.
• 7. The taste test: Daddy always took a slice of bread and dipped a corner down in the sauce to taste the flavor and see if it met his approval. When it taste tart and hot he knew it was ready for his ribs.
