Dry ribs are just that; dry rub and oil on the rib and the flavor and tenderness cooked into the meat. The wet rib is doused in sauce before, during, and after the cooking process. Sauces, from what I have seen, are driven by flavor of molasses and tomato paste being reduced (with other ingredients) giving a rich dark texture. This mayonnaise based white BBQ sauce is all about tangy and rich flavor. This white sauce was made for grilled and smoked chicken by Robert Gibson from Big Bob Gibson’s Bar-B-Q. Not only is it great on chicken it’s a great dipping sauce for grilled chicken wings or even for French fries. See extra information at barbecue grilling store.
While BBQ sauce might seem like the most important flavor component in your smoked or grilled meat meal, we’d like to nominate another contender in the MVP taste race: BBQ rubs. Since it’s often either the first ingredient applied (in other words, it has the most time to infuse every ounce of meat with flavor) or the last ingredient, the best BBQ rub recipes can make your meal stand out. Try these unique spice blends, our go-to homemade BBQ rub recipes, to take your meats to new levels of deliciousness.
Maple syrup tip of the day: Mostly what the sugarmaker is waiting for is the arrival of the time of year known as “sugar weather,” when the nights are below freezing and the days are mild. This is the type of weather that makes the sap flow. When the sugarmaker feels the time is “right” they will start to tap trees. Tapping involves going from tree to tree in the sugarbush, drilling holes into the wood which carries the sap. If buckets are used to collect the sap, a metal spout or “spile” is tapped snugly into the hole, and a bucket is hung from a hook on the spout. A cover is put on the bucket to keep out rain, snow, and debris. If a plastic tubing system is used to collect the sap, a plastic spout, which is connected to the pipeline system, is tapped into the hole in the tree.
Traditional balsamic vinegar is aged for a minimum of 12 years in a series of successively smaller wooden barrels, each made from a different type of wood – oak, juniper, mulberry, ash, cherry, and chestnut. As the vinegar ages in the barrels, it acquires flavors from the wood, and its acidity mellows. Because the wood is porous the vinegar loses moisture over time, and becomes more concentrated, eventually reaching a syrupy consistency. Each season some of the vinegar is pulled from the smallest barrel to be bottled, and then the vinegar in that barrel is replenished from vinegar in the next larger barrel, and so on up the line of barrels. Given the effort it takes to make traditional balsamic vinegar, it’s no wonder that the production volume is low and the prices are high!
Beer Can Chicken Cooking Directions: Preheat grill to 325 degrees. For the class, we cook on a Kamado Joe (without a heat deflector) and we put an aluminum pan to catch the drippings. For other style barbeques use indirect heat.Remove giblet package from chicken and discard or save for another use. Wash the chicken inside and out and then pat dry with paper towel. Rub liberally with olive oil inside and out and then rub your favorite tnriveroliveoilco.com rub (We used Veggie Delight and Big Kahuna) liberally over chicken inside and out. Open the can and remove a little less than half of the contents. You can add more rub to the contents if you wish. Insert the can (or you may use the Kamado Joe Chicken Stand like we did in class) into the chicken’s “kazoo” as far as it will go so that the chicken is sitting upright. Next place it on the grill and kick out the two legs to make the bird stationary (like a tripod).
Place ribs meat side up (or on their side if using a rack) in your smoker/grill. If your BBQ doesn’t have a water pan, it is suggested to place a pan of water or apple juice in with the ribs. Smoke for 3 hours at around 210-225 degrees. Regularly spray your ribs with apple juice to keep your ribs from drying out.Grill Users: During the first three hours, it is important to replenish your smoking tray with additional soaked smoking wood. Make sure to empty the spent wood chips first before replenishing. After the first 3 hours, remove your ribs from the smoker/grill. Take a sheet of aluminum foil and spray it with apple juice and place pats of butter in a row down the middle of the foil (optional). Place the ribs on the foil meat side down and wrap tightly making sure there are no leaks. Place the ribs back in your smoker and cook for another 2 hours. Note: There is no need to smoke with wood at this point in that your ribs have already soaked up as much smoke as they can, as well as the fact that the ribs are wrapped and smoke will not be able to penetrate the foil. Remove your wrapped ribs from the smoker, unwrap, and set back into the smoker meat side up. At this point you will want to glaze your ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce or marinade, both sides, and regularly flipping the ribs to make sure both sides are tacky and glazed. Do this for an additional hour or until the ribs are tender. Once the ribs are finished cooking, remove your ribs from your smoker/grill, wrap in foils and let rest for at least 10 minutes. Just like a great steak, this will allow the moisture to redistribute. Cut your ribs and serve!
