Ribs 3-1-1/2

[Prof.]

Hello guys, yesterday I tried to make the beef ribs in my smoker home-made with the technique of 3-2-1 that but then I changed to 3-1-1 / 2 because they were ready ahead of schedule. I started with the sprinkle the ribs with mustard and I sprinkled with rub consisting of:
sweet paprika
Salt
Garlic powder
black pepper
white pepper
Oregano powder
Fennel seeds
Raw cane sugar
and put it in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
I have prepared my homemade smoker with the Minion method and I put chunks of Winw Barrel for smoking .. just reached 235 * F I put my ribs and smoked for 3 hours, then I put them in foil for an hour and finally, I brushed with the Kansas City Style BBQ sauce for 30 minutes at 280 * F. The result was stupefante, the ribs separated only to touch but they were not overcooked .. juicy, soft, scented and flavored indescribable. I had never eaten a dish prepared in a bbq so good .. pity that in Italy we have a vast knowledge on the bbq as in the U.S.. What do you think about that? Thank you ..

That looks fabulous!  I like the idea of using chunks of wine barrel for smoking. That is one I am going to have to try, thanks. Now just to find a good source for wine barrel......hmmm

I'm so happy when I take something off my smoker, taste it and think "this is the best thing I have ever tasted!" Those ribs look great and I'm happy that you had the same reaction. That's what BBQ is all about!

Raichlen is one of my heroes when it comes to live fire cooking. I'm surprised to see his products available in Italy. Maybe I shouldn't be. But you could find oak wine barrels in Italy too I would think.

It makes me proud to hear that you are interested in BBQ and lament the lack of knowledge of that where you are. It is a New World thing so we can claim it I guess. On the other hand, you have much to be proud of in Italy regarding food, wine, ... women.  But I digress. I also suspect a tradition of hospitality. My sister married a guy who came here from Italy (with his parents) when he was about 5. We visited him and his parents one time and were never made to feel more welcome than we were in their home. It was truly an enjoyable visit.

the satisfaction of cooking something spectacular is priceless, especially if you do it with the new devices, new techniques and recipes that are not of our tradition! In Italy we can find many products Raichlen and other major brands made ​​in the USA but only on the internet, retailers are just as the market is still quite little but is slowly increasing. I mostly Smokey Joe Weber Go Anywhere and for a friend of mine I got on Amazon Craycort of the cast iron plates and I will arrive later this month in Italy ... not found! I do what I can .. thanks my friends!
