Title: Here's how I cook Country Style Ribs
Post by: smokindad on December 18, 2018, 10:11:46 AM: Usually I get boneless country style ribs from Costco and cut them into chunks.

From there I marinade in a copy cat recipe of Johnny D's Hog Wash... which seems to have been discontinued. (if anyone knows if it is still available I would be grateful if you would let me know.) Marinade for about 24 hours. I tend to smoke at a higher temp so they brown up nicely (275-325Â°F) ~ 1hr depending on size. Sauce, let set and enjoy.

Marinade: (hog wash)
1 cup white distilled vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup apple juice
3 tablespoons Light brown sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon hot sauce (tapatio)
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

(Yeah, I know, it's a rookie question.)

I cook them to a temp similar to brisket. When they have that same tenderness, they are done.

I'm thinking 140Â° like I use for most pork. Is that about right?

Post by: smokindad on December 27, 2018, 08:13:10 AM: Actually, I usually cook them to ~150Â°F-160Â°F, kinda like a thick pork chop.

Post by: Bar-B-Lew on December 27, 2018, 08:20:57 AM: I had a bunch in the freezer that I had thawed. I threw them in a pan with some rub yesterday and put on the top shelf of the MAK at 275Â° for about 4 hours. I poured the juice off and put the burnt ends in the fridge in a pan last night. Not sure how I am going to finish them up. I may vac seal them into quart bags and freeze. I can then pull them out, thaw, throw in some sauce and finish on the grill when I want them. I plan to cook them until they are fall apart tender.

Post by: pmillen on December 29, 2018, 03:57:27 PM: I made these a few days ago. They were quite good. They will be better the next time when I take the internal temperature higher, maybe 205Â°F as Lew suggested.

Post by: smokindad on December 30, 2018, 04:44:14 PM: Hmm, those look good. The chunks are a little smaller and more uniform than what I have prepared in the past. Making for a more uniform cook. I like that. When placed on the smoker did you use the aluminum pan or directly on the grate? I will need to try this technique and cook to a higher temp.

Thanks.

Post by: pmillen on December 31, 2018, 09:32:14 AM: They were golf ball sized chunks cooked on Frogmats on the pit grate. I put them in the pans as I took them from the pit. Then I decided to pack them into the pans a little tighter.
