So I did some testing with the offset smoker yesterday. I had three pork ribs left over from last time, so one went in the oven, and the other two were sacrificed for smoking. For whatever reason, my pork ribs just don't come out 100% so the left over two were cut up, and either wrapped, dry rubbed or wet rubbed.

First ribs going into the oven, nothing special, 110 degrees with a bit of water in the tray
Image

Second set of two ribs, getting ready
Image

All cut up!
Image

So, in the pan, the two on the left in the pan are apple sauce and vinegar mix, the two on the right are just beer. The ones in the bottom pan, dry and wet.
Image

In the smoker, Apple and beer at the top, with one wet and one dry. On the bottom, Apple and Beer, one wet and one dry
Image

Wet rub after a couple of hours, definitely not done
Image

Dry rub, the same
Image

Beer packet, a couple of hours in
Image

Apple juice and vinegar
Image

Couple more hours later, still firm
Image

The small section of wet rubbed ribs, that were on the top shelf. Not too shabby at that point. This was about 3 hours in
Image

This was about 5 hours in, and I took the foiled portions out and cooked them as is for the remainder of the time, with sauces and spraying apple juice and vinegar on them
Image

The other wet rub and the two dry rubs

The was the cut that I had in the oven. After 6 hours, I chucked it on the bbq and charred the outside
Image

From L to R: Apple Juice and Vinegar / Beer / Dry rub at the bottom right, wet rub at the top right. The wet rub wasn't too bad, but it wasn't 100%, the dry rubs weren't good at all, and the other two that were in the juice and beer, came out perfect.
Image

Oh, and made some fried rice in case the ribs didn't work out, so dinner last night was a mix of flavours :)

Good work Gobbleoff,

Sometimes you have to do things a few time before you strike a happy medium but as long as any mistake is edible, then it's still a win :)

I noticed in your prepping photos when you presented the ribs cut into portions that you didn't remove the membrane on the bone side of the ribs. This membrane is a very tough type of skin of an off-white colour and it's hard to break down and very chewy to the point when you bite into it, it drags the rest of the meat with it from the bone.
I always endeavour to remove it and it can take a bit of practice but if you can prize a corner off and peel it back just a little (best to use a a blunt butterknife for this and not a sharp knife of any kind as this will be asking for an accident) Grab some paper towel and use the towel for grip and slowly pull back. It may take some effort and you may not get it all in one hit but it's worth persevering with it till it's off. Seasonings get into the meat better as well.

It is a pain in the A** but believe me it's worth it!!

Cheers

yeah, I did that last time but for timing, I got up too late and didn't have time. I am having a bbq this weekend that i'll be doing this for sure on. I have a pork shoulder, slab of beef, a few pork and a few beef ribs, and a couple of chooks for 10 people, so keep an eye out Sunday for pics of that :)

I agree, the membrane is a pain, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Did the first piece of tri tip I got today. It looks more well done than it was, at least on the thick end. Took it to 54c then seared it over redheads charcoal. Rested on a board scattered with EVOO, line juice and rind, cayenne, salt and crushed garlic.

It was seriously good. I probably cooked it a bit fast. Indirect but I let it get up to 200c before choking it off and slowly dropping temp.

Not exactly butter tender, but so full of flavour and juicy. Awesome stuff. :)

I wanted to try some beef ribs so I followed a simple method that I think Chris posted a couple of weeks ago. Started of with some pretty meaty rack of ribs that I had the butcher cut into shorts...kinda....
Image

Rubbed it with a simple mix of toasted pepper and Himilayan salt as per the method I read.
Image

Into the Kettle for 7 hours using the Snake.
Image

Out and rested for a bit while we got everything else ready.
Image

It was YUM!
