How to Smoke Meat in the Oven

For truly "tender, fall off the bone, make your friends jealous, rival the rib joints" style meat, the best method is slow and low. This recipe gives you the same tender, juicy, smoky meat all done in your oven.

I think this technique, while good, has a high moisture to smoke ratio which has a tendency to steam cook the meat hence the fall off the bone end product. Good bbq ribs should not be that tender. When you bite into the meat it should be tender enough to bit into without pulling all the meat off the bone. It should leave a little smile or bite marks in the meat. Maybe cook your ribs half the time using this technique to get the smokey flavor and the other half in the oven uncovered. Cook ribs for 3 to 4 hours, (depending on size). A good sign the ribs are done is to look at the ends of the exposed bones, if the juice coming out is red, it isn't done. If the juice is dark brown and bubbly then you should be okay. Apply sauce near the end of cooking time, about 20 minutes if you are slow cooking at 250 degrees, to allow the sugars in the sauce to caramelize. Remove them from the oven and allow the meat to rest about 10 minutes and enjoy.

After you smoke it, put sauce then grill it or place it back to the oven without cutting

I understand all of this video except for the part when they put the BBQ sauce on the ribs and all of a sudden it has a crispy, BBQ cooked on the grill look about them??? Did they cook them on the grill or did they put the sauce on the ribs and put them back into the oven to crisp up the sugar in the BBQ sauce??? Or is it just the magic of the video camera that caused this to

As a newbie to oven smoking, grilling & bbq I'm thrilled to see this video. Thank you

You didn't display how long it was in the oven for? The final picture was much darker, did you sear it if so how?

[homumu]

why do u use wood chip if u r gonna steam it not smoke it?

[th]

Oven 250, check, but how long do you cook the meat?

[pkendall]

why do you have to rip up the aluminum?

[tapewerm]

This doesn't work. Perhaps outdoors where you can put it on a grill and really make sure the chips ignite and smolder. You're much better off just using liquid smoke. Just add a little water to the broiling pan over a rack and add a few drops of hickory or mesquite liquid smoke. They're only 3 or 4 bucks a bottle and last forever. Don't add too much, though, which is easy to do. It's pretty concentrated.

Not actually sure why I’m watching this, I own a smoker.

[Anchorishmael]

Hi what is the name of the wood chips brand you use to smoke the meat

[michellecannizzo]

I feel like the person just steamed the ribs, rather than smoke them...

[wetblanket]

Hi, would like to ask. Can i use baking paper instead of aluminium foil?

[IronHeel]

Perhaps a dumb question, but how much actual smoke is generated by this method? I have a dog that absolutely freaks out when the smoke alarms go off and don't want to do this if the oven will smoke like a hotbox.

[baosli]

That looks so unappetizing... there's like no colour in the final product because it was steamed, not smoked. I would just light the wood chips til they're smouldering before putting it in the oven.

[Dipsydoodled]

At that temperature, the wood wouldn't burn. Put it on the burner for 5 mins first...

[manuelpereira]

OK. After you smoke it, put sauce then grill it or place it back to the oven without cutting
