and its grilling.
it relaxes me, and its awesome. ive learned so much about grilling since ive bought my first grill a little over a year ago. im proud to say that im also continuing to learn, and that i can cook very well on the grill.
so about a week ago, abbys grandparents invited us over for dinner. we talked about grilling. her nana (grandmother) is a grill expert, well in her own mind... and i myself love to grill as well. we were talking about ribs and about how i should rub them instead of marinating them. And that also ribs need to be smoked instead of cooked over direct heat. being the uninteligent idiot i am, i kinda just shrugged her off.
2 days ago, i set out a slab of ribs to thaw that abby had bought for me to cook for dinner within the week. last night, i thought id do some research on a good recipe on a pork rib rub. did a lot of youtube watching, (WHICH BY THE WAY, IF YOURE EVER LOOKING ON HOW TO DO SOMETHING, ESPECIALLY IN STEPS.... YOUTUBE IS YOUR FRIEND,) found one i could work off of. it consisted of
-sugar
-brown sugar
-kosher salt
-paprika
-chilli powder
-parsley
-grounded black pepper
- garlic powder
from watching youtube videos, i learned that there is a membrane or a skin like material that sits on the bone side of the ribs, that should be ripped off to be able to add flavor. news to me
i also took in consideration, that id probably should take nana's advice and smoke them in indirect heat. this means wood chips and charcoal on the side.
im not even going to type anymore, ill let the pics do the rest
this was after the fact, but this is how you set it up. drip pan in the middle, filled with your liquid of choice. on each side, hot charcoal. and on top of the charcoal, as seen on the left, your wet wood chips. i have mine in a smoker box.
