How to Smoke Rbis

Smoking ribs has many variations but we should all agree that the best smoked rib is one that is both tender and smoky. Tenderness and smokiness combined are the goal, but each in moderation is better. If you want to smoke ribs like the professionals, then you will need to learn this balance. Lets talk about how to achieve this illusive combo. Achieving Smokiness in your Smoked Ribs Many people make the mistake of cooking their barbequed ribs or smoked ribs completely indoors. Folks, this is against the constitution and might be illegal in some states. I see all sorts of smoked ribs recipes that use fancy rubs or marinades that direct you to cook the ribs in the oven. LOL. If you are cooking the ribs in the oven, then where exactly, may I ask, is the smoke coming from? A dirty oven, perhaps? The point is that you don"t want a rib that is cooked solely in an oven because it will not have a barbequed or smoked taste. You can add all the liquid smoke or barbeque sauce that you want to but it won"t fool anyone. An oven is good at achieving tenderness but not so great at the smokiness. On the opposite extreme are those that sit by their smokers from 4:30am till 7pm awaiting that perfectly smoked rib. Again, LOL. You do not want a smoked rib that is pink all the way to the bone. It will be too rich and will not taste like pork. Besides, if you are lazy like me, then this all-day thing is just too much work. A smoker is good at ahieving smokiness but not so great at tenderness. Do you guys see where I am going with this? The best method for smoking ribs is combining the two cooking types. A good smoked rib will have approximately 1/4" of smoke penetration into the pork or brisket. After this, then the oven is your best friend for getting that perfect tenderness into your smoked ribs. Please see my formula in the other post for the absolute best guide on how to smoke ribs. It will work for either smoked babyback ribs or smoked brisket or the classic smoked ribs. By the by, If you do not have a rib smoker, then consider investing in one. It serves as a regular charcoal grill as well so I believe it is a good investment. Everyone enjoy your rib smoking.Ò  Remember: don"t remove the foil or else.

The History of Chocolate, Cocoa Beans and the Cacao Tree
The history of chocolate is one that goes back centuries through many cultures. Chocolate is known for its cultivation, processing, taste, presentation and psychology.  The history of chocolate is in many ways the history of the Americas, from the ancient Mayans to the theft of "the secret", and has made its way through Europe eventually returning to the Americas.  The history of chocolate is almost as interesting as the confection itself, and as interesting as the tastes that cocoa can produce when crafted by experts into fine chocolates and chocolate is as unique as the options available to the chocolate consumer.
