Birthday Ribs - My favorite way!

[TentHunter]

It's Wednesday (my B'Day). The wife's working until 8, the kids left to go to youth group. Nobody's home to tell me what to cook. It's just me, the cat, the dog... and a rack of Spareribs!

Ribs are on catching some hickory smoke.

Hmmm... What flavor profile do I want? Oh yeah... "Spicy Sweet Onion & Peach Bourbon Ribs"

Time to foil with a couple gurgles of Bourbon & cider vinegar...

Top with sweet onion, peach slices, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes & some brown sugar.

don't waste those foil juices... into a food processor with the peaches, onions & some homemade BBQ sauce.

Glaze & finish the ribs...

When the family gets home, we eat, I take my first bite... Happy Birthday to me!

those look fantastic, i like the idea of using the slices of peaches and laying on top.

Oh yeah! After seeing those I don't have to ask how your Birthday went! Those look great Cliff, nice job.

I'm drooling over here!

Is that a water pan you're using there I see?

EW is good stuff too!

Nice! I bet that sauce was killer!

Is that a water pan you're using there I see?

Yep, loaf pans work really well inside the MAK for adding some moisture to the pit.

 

[CarterQ]

Do you see a big difference using the water pan?

Do you see a big difference using the water pan?

Depending on weather conditions, yes. When its super humid outside I don't see as much of a difference, because there's plenty of moisture in the air already. I'm a firm believer in using a water pan in any grill for low & slow things like ribs, pork shoulder, brisket, etc.

Thanks, will have to try that out with my next low & slow cook.

Nice cook Cliff, glad you got some "Sparky time".
