Posted: Sat Aug 30, 2008 1:49 pmRibs in the oven?!?!? why would you do that to a rib now..come on. ribs just arent what they are supposed to be unless that have that nice smokey taste..you just cant get that in the oven. if you get a good rack of babies and give em a good rub with your favorite spices...i use the 3-2-1 method for ribs. Which means means 3 hours of smoke, 2 hours in foil and then the last hour in the smoker with some sauce. this method is reduced for baby backs...thats the time usually for spares. there is NOTHING like a smoked rib.....bah!
