BUBBA'S BUNCH BARBECUED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Remove silver skin from back of ribs, if desired, rinse, and pat dry.
• Rub the cut lemons over front and back of ribs squeezing to release as much juice as possible, and set aside for 5 minutes.
• Rub ribs liberally with 1/4 cup spice rub and allow to set, covered, for 15-20 minutes.
• While ribs set, build a charcoal fire (preferred) or preheat your gas grill.
• Set up the grill for indirect heat, and if using wood chips, place some soaked chips directly on the charcoal or place in the smoking box of the gas grill.
• Place ribs, bone side down, on the cooler section of the cooking grate or in a rib holder/rack over medium-low heat, making sure they are not over a direct heat.
• Grill covered (at about 325 degrees F, if your grill has a thermometer) for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until meat is tender and has pulled back from the ends of the rib bones.
• Do not open the grill for the first 30 minutes; this means no peeking.
• More soaked wood chips can be added after this and every 30 minutes thereafter, if needed.
• If the ribs start to burn on the edges, stack them on top of one another on the coolest part of the grill, and lower your fire slightly.
• Twenty minutes before serving, unstack the ribs, if necessary, and brush with barbecue sauce.
• Repeat after 10 minutes.
• Remove ribs from grill, and let rest in a warm place for about 10 minutes before cutting into individual or 2-3 rib portions.
• Warm remaining barbecue sauce in a saucepan, and serve on the side, if desired.
• Classic BBQ Rub:.
• Combine paprika, salt, sugar, brown sugar, cumin, chili powder, pepper, cayenne, onion powder, garlic powder, celery salt and oregano in bowl; mix well.
• For a smoother rub, whiz ingredients in a blender or spice grinder until well combined and all pieces are uniform (the rub will be very fine and tan in color).
• This step is important if adding the rub to any homemade barbecue sauce.
• Extra rub can be stored in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
• Yield: about 1 cup.

BARBECUED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Remove the back sinew of the ribs. Sear the rack on a hot grill on both sides, and place in a roasting pan. Combine the water and the Barbecue Sauce and pour over the ribs. Bring the ribs to a boil on the stove, cover with foil, and braise in a 350-degree oven until tender, but not falling of the bone. Cool thoroughly.
• Heat oil in pot. Chop onion, scallions, and peppers, then saute in heated oil for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, sugar and dry ingredients and stir. Add liquids and stir. Simmer for 2 to 3 hours, until flavors are mixed. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Steps:

• Grilling Method: Indirect/Medium-Low Heat
• Build charcoal fire or preheat gas grill. Remove silver skin from back of ribs, if desired. Set up the grill for indirect heat and if using wood chips, place soaked chips directly on charcoal, or in smoking box of gas grill. Rub the cut lemons over front and back of ribs squeezing to release as much juice as possible. Set aside for 5 minutes. Rub ribs liberally with Classic Barbecue Rub and let sit, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Place ribs (bone side down) in the center of the cooking grate or in a rib holder/rack, making sure they are not over a direct flame. Grill covered (at about 325°F, if your grill has a thermometer) for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until meat is tender and has pulled back from the ends of the rib bones.
• Leave ribs untended for the first 30 minutes-this means no peeking; especially important if using wood chips. If the ribs start to burn on the edges, stack them on top of one another in the very center of the grill and lower your fire slightly. Twenty minutes before serving, un-stack ribs, if necessary and brush with barbecue sauce. Remove ribs from grill and let rest 10 minutes before cutting into individual or 2 to 3 rib portions. Warm remaining sauce in a saucepan and serve on the side, if desired.

PRIZE WINNING BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat a gas grill for high heat, or arrange charcoal briquettes on one side of the barbeque. Lightly oil the grate.
• In a small jar, combine cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Close the lid, and shake to mix.
• Trim the membrane sheath from the back of each rack. Run a small, sharp knife between the membrane and each rib, and snip off the membrane as much as possible. Sprinkle as much of the rub onto both sides of the ribs as desired. To prevent the ribs from becoming too dark and spicy, do not thoroughly rub the spices into the ribs. Store the unused portion of the spice mix for future use.
• Place aluminum foil on lower rack to capture drippings and prevent flare-ups. Lay the ribs on the top rack of the grill (away from the coals, if you're using briquettes). Reduce gas heat to low, close lid, and leave undisturbed for 1 hour. Do not lift the lid at all.
• Brush ribs with barbecue sauce, and grill an additional 5 minutes. Serve ribs as whole rack, or cut between each rib bone and pile individually on a platter.
