A tip of the toke to Hornian's 2-1-1

[DallasCowpoke]

Used your method yesterday to do 8 racks, with just a slight variation, in so much as I doctored-up the mustard base a little and used a combo of Antone's Rib and Fiesta Brisket rubs. (what can I say, I'm a chef, I can't ever leave any recipe as-is!!)

They all turned out great and were devoured with reckless abandon by all.

Thanks for posting your method, it saved me a load of work.

it's not "his method", but is the best way to do ribs.

of course 2-1-1 is for baby backs and not spareribs. were you smoking baby backs.

 

[DallasCowpoke]

yea scott, baby backs.

 

[scottsins]

i really, really need to take advantage of this weather and smoke some babybacks.

I did 3 racks of spare ribs on Saturday using Hornian's methods. We had twenty people eating ribs with 12 chicken quarters to boot. 3 ribs were left for my lunch on Sunday.

Hornian invented the bbq

I've done Hornian's 2-1-1 for babybacks and 3-2-1 for spares. Each was great tastewise, but neither was falling-off-the-bone tender, as I had hoped. What am I doing wrong?

Thank God that Ian invented this method.

No pics?

 

[DallasCowpoke]

LOL

No NCAAFB, sorry. I was wondering when I was gonna get called on the carpet for that?

I was so busy, I just didn't take the time. Anyway, I pretty confident we all know what ribs look like.

 

[hornian]

J.R. - Alden took the words out of my mouth. I like my ribs not falling off the bone, but that's just me. If you don't, you can serve them right out of the foil step, or just cut back on the time after the foil.

Where is his method? Wanted to try it but cant find it.

Here's a link to Hornian's original 3-2-1 thead for pork spare ribs:

For babybacks, change the times to 2-1-1.

Happy to see this thread bumped here- I found pork spare ribs on sale for $1.00/lb at HEB today and I picked some up. Going to cook them tomorrow, and save a few for later

 

[TheFied]

HEB had that sale a few weeks ago too and I bought 2 racks of spare ribs. They are in my freezer. I am planning on smoking them around Easter. I gave up alcohol for Lent and I cannot fathom smoking ribs while drinking water and diet cokes.

This thread is useless with pics.

I think you should be pretty much a law to have a camera with you when you smoke something....

 

[Fievel121]

Do you put the mustard & seasoning rub on the ribs and put in the fridge overnight? Or do you throw them on the grill imeddiately?

 

[tallgrant]

I've done it both ways- I didn't think it made much of a difference either way.

 

[DallasCowpoke]

Fievel- I put it on the night before.

 

[DallasTexasEx]

I have my baby backs in the smoker as we speak. Its my first time to smoke baby backs. Using Hornian's method...hope they turn out good.

 

[tallgrant]

How'd they turn out? I did 3-2-1 ribs for Easter and got a good number of compliments. And zero leftover ribs.

You know, I've read this thread title fifty times, and I just snapped that you meant a "Tip of the Toque...". (Toque = Chef's hat.)

I thought you meant ... well, you know...
