BEST RIBS IN THE UNIVERSE RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Spread the brown sugar out on a cookie sheet and let it dry at room temperature for several hours, or place it is a slightly warm oven. Once dried, place brown sugar in a Ziploc bag and break up any clumps using a rolling pin or the bottom of a drinking glass. The recipe says to apply "a good overall dusting" of rub to the ribs. When I made the rub, I did'nt think it smelled very good. In fact I made a comment to Tammi (my wife) that I bet we just ruined these ribs... Trust me we did'nt. The recipe also says to allow the ribs to sit at room temperature for two hours before cooking. As they do, the salt in the rub draws moisture from the meat, forming a red liquid coating on the surface. I've also prepared them the night before and placed them in a bag and put them in the refrigerator. Selecting The Smoke Wood Mike's recipe calls for 4 chunks of white oak and 2 chunks of cherry, each about the size of a tennis ball. I placed a handful of hickory and pecan chunks in my smoke can (a mod I'll expain in another post) and placed them under the water pan. Cooking Process Described During the first three hours, adjust gas to maintain a cooker temperature of 225*F. At the three hour mark, open the cooker for the first time and turn the ribs over, but do not baste them with anything. Close the lid and increase the cooker temperature to 250-275*F. Start checking for doneness at the four hour mark and every 30 minutes thereafter. The ribs will be done when they have a nice, brown color and the meat tears easily. Check the water pan every two hours and replenish with hot tap water, as needed. Supper Time! Th ribs will have a nice brown color, the meat will have pulled down on the long bones, a little tug on the bones will show that they pull apart easily. Mike's recipe calls for saucing the ribs on both sides before serving with a mixture of 5 parts KC Masterpiece Original Flavor barbecue sauce to 1 part honey. I modified this a little and mixed mine 3 to 1. It was can I say Awesome. Brush both sides of the ribs generously with the sauce mixture and serve immediately. These ribs had a beautiful mahogany color and a light smoky flavor. The meat was firm, not mushy, and pulled cleanly from the bones. I hope you enjoy trying this great recipe. It's one of my all-time favorites and I'm sure it will become one of yours, too! Note: Listen guys... Don't spend a lot of time preparing side dishes to go with this... they won't get eaten... these ribs are so good three slabs lasted about 15 minutes with my clan... All the sides my wife had so lovingly prepared went untouched!
