Question about boiling ribs

[Banjoe]

Lucky kids!

And thanks for setting us straight on the rib boiling process before there was a run on heart attacks.

Before I ask this, let me say I have never boiled my ribs. That being said, how many here have actually had ribs that have been boiled before going on the grill/smoker? Personally, I have never had the "pleasure" but I'd try them if someone offered.

Get it boiling then turn down the heat to a "high simmer" to avoid busting the bags.
Frozen or thawed is OK.
20-30 minutes should do it.

That's how I reheat, I prefer to thaw first, and as stated above, after the bag is in the water, reduce the flame.

When I vac-seal I add a very small amount of apple juice or peach nectar just before sealing, This adds to the flavor when re-heating.

I will have to admit to personally doing a experiment (1 time only!) of comparing rib cook methods. I boiled 1 slab then put on the gas grill with sauce, smoked 1 slab on a propane smoker, and grilled 1 slab directly on the gas grill. This is before I bought my Traeger. The boiled rib was actually more tender, but less flavor. The gas grill rib was not that good, either flavor or tenderness. The smoked rib was more flavor but not very tender, it may not have cooked long enough tho. The best ribs I ever made myself was the first time I cooked them on the Traeger, and I have never repeated that success since. I just don't cook rib all that often, I am a brisket and chuckie man.
