I cooked spare ribs today for the holiday. Not that we are really celebrating "independence" or anything but I'm always looking for an excuse to barbecue. I used this recipe and it was pretty good.As crappy as this year's Fourth of July was due to weasel behavior by the SCOTUS Chief Justice it can have a bit of the good times returned with massive amounts of good food.The desert that mrs. trapeze worked up was pretty good, too: Angel Food cake with ice cream, blueberries, strawberries and whipped cream...a red, white and blue desert.
Sometime back you gave a regional breakdown of the differentstyles of cooking barbecue, it was a delicious review. The LockwoodInn burned down a few years back, but that's OK, the kids wereserving junk. I wish I had the recipe for their sauce.
I don't but I set the temp of my gas grill down low and dumped in a generous amount of water soaked mesquite chips. It worked quite nicely with the rotisserie for the first two hours. I then wrapped them in foil with the apple juice for the next two hours. The meat was almost falling off the bones when I unwrapped them, set them on the grill and painted them with barbecue sauce for the final ten minutes.It worked so well that I think I am going to try it out with a brisket next. I like ribs but brisket is the ultimate in smoked barbecue.
