As most of you know when I am not working I like to cook. Figured yesterday we had a couple nice days so I busted out the gas grill. This is a nice 5 burner set up with a side burner that I have been playing with for about 2 years now. We made baby back ribs, corn on the cob and some baked beans. Not sure how some of you make your ribs but I had one hell of a meal yesterday. I used a dry rub and let the ribs sit in the frig for about two hours. Then removed the ribs and let them sit for about an hour to get up to room temp a bit. I recently got a smoker box that I used some Jack Daniels smoking pellets with my gas grill. I know this is not a tradition smoker set up but it's all I have. My dad has an old time Oklahoma Joe's smoker that I used before Christmas when visiting them in Arkansas with this same recipe. I got the grill going at about 250*-275* with the smoke box going. I put a large drip pan with water on the 3 center burners with the burners off only using the end burners. I tossed 5 slabs on and every half hour or so I would add some pellets and rotate the meat for the first 2 hours. I have been told that after a couple hours smoking in this set up you really are not adding any more flavor. After the first two hours I would rotate the ribs every 30-45 minutes. When I did this I used a small spray bottle to spray apple juice on the ribs to keep them moist and also added a sweet caramelized texture to the outside of the ribs. After 4-5 hours total cooking time I used some sweet and spicy Baby Rays sauce on both sides. Then rapped the slabs in foil and continued to cook them for an additional 2 hours. Then it was time for the BBQ chef to have a sampler. They were ready literally falling off the bone. I then removed the ribs form the grill and set them aside to cool a bit. Mean while I had the corn soaking most of the day in a cooler with salt water. I tossed the ears on the grill rotating them every 5-10 minutes for about 45 minutes while slowly heating the beans on the side burner. The only thing I forgot was to make up some taters to go with this. But it was a very nice meal and IMO turned out just as good as when I used the smoker at Christmas time. Post up what your making and if you fell like adding the recipe maybe some of us can try to do it up ourselves. Happy holiday! Vince

Last night I fixed some burgers, hot dogs, chicken legs and corn on the cob. Nothing fancy but it tasted great. I have a simple cheap pit that uses charcoal. I also have a smoker that I use from time to time. I'll have to try some ribs using your recipe. The main thing I cook on the smoker is turkey. I cook very slow with lots of mesquite, about an hour per pound with a water pan between the fire and the meat. Happy holidays!
