Quick Baby Back Ribs On Big Green Egg
Are you craving some delicious, fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs? Look no further than your Big Green Egg! This versatile grill and smoker can help you create mouth-watering ribs in no time at all. Here's how:
Choosing Your Ribs
First things first, you need to select your ribs. Baby back ribs are a great choice for this recipe. Look for ribs that are well-marbled and have a good amount of meat on them. You'll want to remove the membrane on the back of the ribs before cooking.
Preparing Your Big Green Egg
Before you start cooking, you'll need to get your Big Green Egg ready. Start by filling the charcoal bowl with lump charcoal. Light the charcoal and let it burn for about 10-15 minutes. Once the charcoal is hot, add your smoking wood. Pecan or hickory wood chips work well with ribs.
Seasoning Your Ribs
Now it's time to season your ribs. You can use a pre-made rub or create your own. A simple rub made with brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper works well. Rub the seasoning all over the ribs, making sure to cover them evenly.
Cooking Your Ribs
Place the seasoned ribs on the grill, bone-side down. Close the lid and let the ribs cook for about 2-3 hours. You'll want to maintain a temperature of around 225-250°F. After the first hour, spray the ribs with apple juice every 30 minutes to keep them moist.
Adding Sauce
Once your ribs are cooked to your liking, it's time to add some sauce. Brush your favorite BBQ sauce onto the ribs and let them cook for another 10-15 minutes. Be careful not to burn the sauce.
Serving Your Ribs
Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Cut the ribs into individual portions and serve with your favorite sides, like mac and cheese or coleslaw.
Cleaning Your Big Green Egg
After you've enjoyed your delicious ribs, it's time to clean your Big Green Egg. Let the grill cool down completely before removing the ash. Use a wire brush to clean the grill grates.
Conclusion
With your Big Green Egg, you can create amazing baby back ribs that are sure to impress your friends and family. Follow these simple steps and you'll have fall-off-the-bone ribs in no time at all. Happy grilling!
