The Best BBQ Ribs Without Using A Smoker

Making great homemade bbq ribs shouldn't be limited to the smokehouse homies. While a smoker really makes for a perfect rack of ribs, we can get a product that is nearly as good in its own way using this method. And obviously, the cold smoker device IS OPTIONAL.

Didn't expect a Bon Appetit reference but I'm not complaining.

For anyone who wants smokey flavour without a gun thingy or a smoker - heat up a piece of charcoal directly on the flame of your stove top until it's glowing, pop it into a small heatsafe bowl, plop the whole thing into whatever you want to smoke, drop a teaspoon of oil right on top of the coal, and cover it all with clingfilm for 10 mins. If you want extra smokey and don't care too much about ingesting a small amount of charcoal, strain the oil right into the sauce/curry/whatever. Soooo good

Pro-tip: a paper towel makes pulling that membrane off a lot easier, they can be slippery

This worked so well.
Best ribs I've ever eaten and I made them myself.
Once again Joshua you have come through in a big way.

To make this whole thing way more foolproof cook way lower and slower, carefully drain that liquid from the foil, reduce and incorporate it into your BBQ sauce while they're resting, then paint it onto the ribs, crank the oven way up, maybe even broil, and let that sauce form a nice crisp dark layer, adding extra coats and repeating 2 or more times until you're satisfied.

For people who don't have a grill, just cook your ribs in your oven at 275°F for about 3 to 4 hours!! (At least that's what worked for me)

So about the "fall off the bone" status, most rib experts will say ribs should have a little chew and tug on the bone, falling off means they are likely overcooked. I was skeptical of this but when I went to St. Louis and had the best ribs I ever had in my life, I was sold. Don't overcook your ribs, people

We tried this last weekend and they were the tenderest ribs we've every had. Also, we were given a bit of an advantage. We help support with a farm which is also a dog, cat and horse rescue. They have pigs, goats, ducks and chickens as well as housing about 15 rescue dogs, 8 rescue horses and 2 dozen cats. As a thank you for our help they gave us some freshly butchered meat. And some of it was a full rack of pork ribs right from the farm. Talk about eating local.

one Thing which is not a good idea is the vinegar and foil. The acid desolves the passive layer of the Aluminum and disolves then Aluminum into your food which gives off flavors, can etch holes into the foil making a mess. and there are other non beneficial health effects of Aluminum in your food.

i would try to get a big Metallic Dish and cover that with foil. or skip the vinegar

just wanted to thank you for always including weight of ingredients, as "a cup" measures volume and not weight

[seran]

Honestly, I would love to see a tres leches cake from you. Cause here in the east, we over here lacking in some good Mexican desserts

This is almost exactly how my grandfather used to make ribs every year for the 4th of july. Best ribs I will ever have had. The only difference was he never used vinegar before putting them in the oven
