Johnny Trigg's Barbecued Pork Ribs

In this video, I'm excited to share a classic recipe from the legendary Johnny Trigg himself! Johnny is a true BBQ pitmaster, and his simple, no-frills approach to barbecued pork ribs yields amazing results.

Here's the breakdown:

1. Trimming: Start by removing the thin membrane from the back of the ribs. This helps the smoke penetrate and ensures the ribs are tender.

2. Seasoning: Apply a generous amount of your favorite rib rub. Don't be shy with the seasoning!

3. Cooking: Place the ribs in a disposable aluminum pan. Add a little liquid to the pan (apple juice is used in the video), then cover the pan tightly with foil. Cook the ribs in a smoker at 275°F (135°C) for about 3 hours. This method helps keep the ribs moist and tender.

4. Finishing: After 3 hours, uncover the ribs and apply your favorite BBQ sauce. Continue cooking for another hour, or until the ribs are tender and the sauce is set. You can check for tenderness by using the "bend test" – the ribs should bend easily when you pick them up.

Why This Recipe Works:

• Simplicity: This method is great for beginners because it's straightforward and forgiving.
• Moisture: Cooking the ribs in a covered pan helps them retain moisture and prevents them from drying out.
• Flavor: The combination of the rub, the smoke, and the BBQ sauce creates a delicious, well-balanced flavor.

Give it a try!
