What is everybody's favorite way to cook ribs? Do you like the dry rub style that generally are a little on the chewy side? Or, do like 'em slathered in BBQ sauce and falling off the bone? I prefer 'em sloppy and doused in good BBQ sauce. Cooked until you can't pick 'em up without the meat falling off. ....  |

Personally I like the dry rub. But I also like them dripping with BBQ sauce. I guess I like em BOTH ways. But do you blame me???

Nope! As long as they taste good, either style is okay.. I watched a TV show where they had a showdown, in Memphis maybe...  They picked the city's two most famous rib joints, one was a dry rub, the other a sauce style. They took 'em to the streets to see which was the most preferred. It was pretty much a draw, and quite a few people liked both. |

BBQ & falling off the bone. This would be my 1st pick. Shure is a messy way of eating though, and takes a big napkin with lots of absorventy!!

i ran our bbq fund raiser at church for 8 years and we did ribs along with the other normal stuff, our ribs had a dry rub and slow cooked for 4 1/2 hrs. the meat fell off the bone and our rub is all you need but i do hit it with a baste with an hour to go to help candy the rub a tad. we now bought this big azz pit with a motor and rotating trays that i can stack about 70 slabs or so at a time on. you can imagine, a bunch of catholic's bbq'ng for two days. there is bloody marry's in the morning (Uncle Dougies torpedoe juice) and beer all afternoon. we get a good turn out of dad's wanting to help out with it.

Do you guys ever boil your ribs first then do either the rub or the barbacue sauce. I had a cook teach me to do that one and man they get tender that way. I don't care how my ribs are done. Just pass the plate.  |

On Geef ribs boiling is the best way. They are 100 % more tender. For pork I think their small enogh that they don't need to be boiled.

my take on boiling is this. it's a great way to achieve tender ribs if you don't have the time or set up to do it right and don't mind sucking 50% of the flavor out of the meat through the water.  ok when time is against ya it is a good way to get it done tender, but it is to me like shooting a inline is to you flint lockers, got it? ;D |

My take on boiling is like Jim's. I do it, when I don't have time to cook long and slow. Since most of the flavor is the seasoning and sauce, boiling is not a whole lot less desireable, to me anyway, than slow cookin'. But then again, cooking ribs is well....it's like a journey.. ;D Half the fun is gettin' there. If you cook 'em too fast it doesn't leave time for beer drinkin' and shooting the bull while the ribs get nice and tender... |

I guess that it didn't make any differance to me if they were boiled or not as I usually do the barbacue sauce afterwords when I throw them on the grill and hell I can't tell a whole lot of differance as all I taste is the sauce.  Guess I will have to get some and try them. |

Ok I see your point Jim. If your gonna do it, than do it right!!!! I sure can't argue this. I think dry rub; slow cooked; than drown in sauce sounds good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
