Pineapple Habanero BBQ baby back ribs

fuzzymusket · 10-30-2013, 11:08 AM

Hey folks,

I was at Costco the other day and I picked up some Roasted Pineapple Habanero sauce:

http://www.robertrothschild.com/prod...spx?prodid=561

I am making some baby back ribs for a work Halloween party and I thought I would use this as a base for my bbq sauce. I'm wondering if anyone has ever used this before and has any tips?

I trimmed the ribs and rubbed them with butt rub, they're in the fridge now. Tomorrow in the early morning I'm going to put them on my offset smoker at 225 for 2 hours. Then I'll foil them and rub in some butter and brown sugar, and spritz with apple and\or pineapple juice for another two hours or until up to temp. Then I'll remove the foil and slather with the pineapple habanero bbq sauce, let it glaze and call it good.

Does anyone have a critique of my plan? Here's my intended recipe for the bbq sauce:

Saute a medium onion and a clove of garlic in a little olive oil. Add in a little ginger and red pepper flakes. I'll run the pineapple habanero sauce mentioned above through a blender to make it smooth and then add about 2 cups. I'll add a half cup of bourbon, some Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, dry mustard to taste. Depending on how it comes out maybe a little ketchup for color.

I'll do some of the racks with a traditional bbq sauce in case anyone doesn't like the heat.

I tend to not follow recipes so much as taste as I go and add what I think will sound good. And actually, this is my first rib attempt on my new smoker. I've always used lump charcoal before, this will be the first time I've used stick wood. I've got some cherry stick being delivered this afternoon. So tips and suggestions both on the recipe and technique of using an offset smoker with stick wood would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I've never made my own sauce but that sounds awesome. Let us know how it turns out and if you have a chance, snap some pics!

I'll take some pics for sure. I just got a new rib rack as well.

I'm hoping someone who's used an offset firebox with stick wood will chime in with some tips :)

Sounds like it should work out just fine. I assume you tasted the sauce already and have this plan as a result. Nothing worse than not tasting the ingredients first and realizing something is irredeemably bad.

sparky' · 10-30-2013, 11:44 AM

i use it all the time on my ribs. its good stuff.

small hot fire is really about it.

I use cherry all the time on ribs and everything else

I would practice your fire management first so you know what to expect.

We use a lot of the Pineapple Habanero sauce from Costco. Mrs MAFIA loves it on Pork tendloins and chops. We also used it on Ribs and they were great.

tasterner · 10-30-2013, 01:13 PM

Love that stuff, BJ's carries it also, or at least they used to.

I did taste it, it's quite good actually. Nice balance of sweet, spicy and savory. It should go very well with fatty pork ribs. I'm not sure how much I should use to get the heat level I want. As I make the bbq sauce I'll be tasting as I go until I get it where I want it.

fuzzymusket · 10-30-2013, 02:58 PM

OK well I'll be waking up tomorrow at 5 AM to get this started. I'll post pictures as I go, and I'll post the recipe for the sauce once it's finished.

^^^^this

Also start with some lump or charcoal of your choice and add about a stick every 45 minutes or so. Make sure your exhaust vent is wide open and control your temp from the intake.
Also set your next split on top of your fire box so it's preheated, this will help with less thick smoke when it's added to the fire.

Good luck and lookin forward to the pr0n
