Recommended Posts

RUB:

1/4 cup paprika

1/4 cup fresh ground black pepper

1/4 cup coarse sea salt

1/4 cup sugar

2 tblspns chili powder

2' ' garlic powder

2' ' onion powder

2 ' ' cayenne pepper (DO NOT GET THIS IN YOUR EYE)

MOP:

1 Beer (I like to use Saranac Black & Tan)

1/4 cup cider vinegar

1/4 ' ' veg. oil

1/2 med onion (chunked)

2 cloves garlic

1 tbl spoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tbl spoon of the rub from above.

Glaze:

11/2 cups ketchup

1 cup beer

1/4 cup cider vinegar

1/4 cup minced cilantro

3 tbl spoons packed brown sugar

2 ' ' Worcestershire sauce

2 gloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons gound cumin

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 ' ' Tabasco

Ok, night before smoking apply 1/2 the rub to the ribs, put ribs in plastic bag & in fridge

Next day, get the smoker to temp ( I like 210)

Get out the ribs, hit them lightly again w/ the rub & into the smoker

mop the ribs every once/hour I fill the smoker w/ as many as I can get in there.

IMPORTANT- if you are going to hunt while the ribs are smoking don't leave too much beer w/ the person who is supposed to mop them. ALSO- always hunt downwind of the smoker- I got a nice 6 pt two years ago on the last day of muzzle loader using the smell of the smoker to cover the rub scent that was on me!

smoke ribs for 3 hours or so

As the ribs approach 3 hours in the smoker (this when I dragged in the 6 pt and found the beer gone...) You need to heat the glaze in a saucepan carefully to reduce and thicken it.

Brush the ribs w/ the glaze 1 or twice durint the last hour in the smoker (stop basting w/ the mop when you start using the glaze)

Kids like to slobber even more glaze on the ribs so that's where any extra can go.

Wild Willy's rub is from Smoke & Spice by Bill and Cheryl Jamison. Though if I remember right the original recipe calls for 2 teaspoons of cayenne not 2 tablespoons.

Excellent BBQ book, only thing I ever made from it I didn't like was the Apple City Baby Back Ribs- junk. Otherwise highly recommend the book and rub!

Dang maybe I can get my neighbor to give me some ribs one year.
