Thread: Gonna try to smoke something....on the grill

Wow. Nice grill.

I got a used George Foreman grill.:o

Start out with a couple a racks of baby back ribs. Make a dry rub outa 3 tblspns each of salt, pepper 2 tblspns each, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Rub down night before. Smoke for the first 2 hours, then wrap in foil and cook for 4 more hours. Keep grill around 200-210 degrees. after 6 hours , cook 30 minutes with sauce slathered on and your good to go!

PS: Dont forget to peel the membrane off the visceral ( inside ) side of the ribs. Just grab with some paper towel and it will peel right off! Good Luck.

I think a pork roast or butt is a good starter. You're still looking at a good 6+ hours of cook time, depending on how big a hunk of meat you're cooking. Keep your temp as close to 225 as you can maintain. Give your wood chips a good soak before using. Keep a spray bottle of apple juice handy to spritz the meat every hour. You can buy premade rubs, but the part I like the most is making my own and experimenting with different flavors.

I peel mine too, otherwise the flavor of the smoke and rub don't penetrate as well. I used to fix baby backs all the time, but have switched to spare ribs - they have more flavor and they're cheaper, too!

Got a smoker myself this year.

Thats a great choice also. Nothing better than some pulled pork!

That's what I'm talking about!! I love ribs! The temperature of the grill was what i was wondering about too. I take it you have to add charcoal and wood while this is cooking.... Stupid question: do you have to add pre-lit charcoal or can you just throw a coal or two in occasionally and it will catch up? You can tell I've always been a gas grill kinda guy. I want to try a butt too. Thanks!!
