This mornining I got the BBQ up and running....am cooking 3 Rack of Pork Spareribs....
First I I peal off the Menbrane on the back side of the ribs, then sprinkle them with the following spices, and let them sit for an hour or teo to meld the flavors...over night woprks too.
Salt
Pepper
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Cumin Powder
Paprika
Chili Powder
Brown Sugar
Then I light my fire, first using some Mesquite Hardwood Charcoal as a base to light my Logs and then put some Oak Logs on. I then let them burn down so that the smoke doesn't impart a bitter taste, put in a bowl of hot water to provide moisture to the smoking chamber and let them smoke away for 3 or 4 hours at 250*. Mid way through the smoking process I Mop my Ribs with...
The above spices plus Apple Juice, Cider Vinegar, a touch of Vegetable Oil which I bring to a boil on the stove.
