3-2-1 method for smoked ribs

[Jeff Lebowski]

They look so good.

I did BBRs today. I'm shocked how easy it is to get insanely good food.

Yes, but don't ever admit that to your guests. As far as they need to know, it is a tremendous amount of work, but you are willing to make the sacrifice.

I am doing ribs, beans, etc for a group of guests tonight.

Does anyone ever do beef ribs?

Nope. I don't see them for sale often. I would like to try them sometime.

The County Line restaurant in Austin, Texas does killer beef ribs. They are gigantic. And the Arthur Bryant restaurant in Kansas City does a prime rib rib that is very unique (and awesome).

Picked up some St. Louis at Costco today for the heck of it. How would / have y'all changed the above for the meatier, St. Louis. Also are the Costco ones membrane-less just like the baby backs?

See above. No change. They are about the same size so the same recipe works just fine. That has been my experience anyway.

I called a couple places here in the Eug, they all said they can get beef ribs with 2-3 days notice. I'll try them later this summer. Made a Costco run this afternoon and we will do some pork ribs using your method again tomorrow.

So we did some ribbage yesterday using the now-patented Jeff Lebowski Traeger method. Everything went like clockwork with one small hitch.

New combos.....used Spade L pork rub on a bunch of the ribs. That stuff is good. Really enjoyed it and it will definitely make more appearances in the rotation.

I have been looking for some heat and think I have found it. Butt Rub with Famous Dave's Devil's Spit.



Definitely not ridiculously hot like those goofy Atomic fireball sauces that you find at wing joints. But enough heat to feel some burn after a few bites. Probably too hot for bambini. Cut a rack in half and make it the hot one, see if you like it. I really liked it and brought some to work with me today for lunch.

Also went for some mango pomegranate chipotle from Fischer and Wieser. More good stuff. Sweet with very mild heat. That combo was a hit.

Finally, I am ready to add Sugar Maple rub into the permanent rib rotation. Those ones fly off the plate....I have been using KC Masters with that but I assume any traditional dark BBQ sauce would work. Kids and adults love them and they smell awesome.

One hitch in yesterday's cook.....I bought a cryo of 3 racks, cutting each one in half to try different rubs and sauces, leaving me with 6 racks in foil. One of the 6 racks was not wrapped well or was punctured and all the juice dripped out. By the time the 2 hour crutch was done, that foil packet was a hard, flat metallic pouch of doom. I gave it to my in-laws dog. Lesson learned.....wrap carefully and don't lose any juice!

Where do you purchase the Sugar Maple rub?

Where do you purchase the Sugar Maple rub?

at the weird bbq place that sells Green Eggs.

I keep forgetting to try that. Sounds great.

Can you remind me again where you get this rub?

Yeah, that happened to me once so I always double wrap with two layers of foil. I thought I had mentioned that but maybe I didn't. Sorry.

I need to post a summary of everything we have learned at the beginning of this thread as a centralized reference point.

The only place I have seen John Henry Sugar Maple rub locally

He also sells a few other JH rubs. Do NOT buy the Bourbon rub. You have been warned. Smells awful and doesn't taste very good.
