This week I cooked a ton of ribs for my kid's teachers and the secretary who is leaving us. I thought it would be a great excuse to do a video if I could get them all in one grill. Turns out all 12 fit fine!*
I was actually surprised how well this worked. The ribs came out great. I had a little hot spot at first because I was filming and the fire got too hot because I had the lid open but other than that, everything went great. I don't particularly like using rib racks but they work in a pinch. If I had to do this again, the only thing I think I'd do different is plan on it taking about 2 hours longer than normal if for no other reason than because rotating the ribs around takes time away from the cooking.*
Here's a shot about 3 hours in:
I used Setzler's pork rub. Here is the rub recipe:
Man Cave Pork Rub:
1 cup salt
1/2 cup turbinado or table sugar
1/2 cup black pepper
1/2 cup Tang instant breakfast drink mix
1/2 cup paprika
1/4 cup onion powder
1/4 cup garlic powder
1/4 cup chili powder
2 tbsp cayenne pepper
2 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp ground clove
Put it all in a food processor and pulse 4 or 5 times for 4-5 seconds each time to create a uniform powder. Store it in an air tight jar away from the light for up to six months. (It won't last that long!)
I've never made it before and I admit when I first smelled it, all I could smell was the clove and that made me nervous they were going to turn out tasting like potpourri or something but they*didn't at all. They were*great. Even my wife commented on it and that's rare simply because we've tried so many rubs in the past.
Here is a link to the video if you guys are interested. (It's funny.)
