How do you make smoked ribs?

[greybeta]

Due to the success of my BBQ brisket, my parents have encouraged me to try cooking some other meals (considering my mom wouldn't let me cook anything in the kitchen growing up, that's a big deal). So I said that I might try making some smoked ribs for July 4th

I'm guessing you don't have access to an outdoor spot to actually smoke the meat?

Liquid smoke is pretty much just what it says on the bottle. Boiling the ribs in liquid rather than smoking them over wood will give them a different texture but it won't take as long. It seems to me that a whole bottle of liquid smoke is going overboard, though. That stuff is pretty strong.

This is close to the method I use for smoked meats.

Actually, we have a backyard and grill, but there's been an excessive heat warning in my area for a week now and I'm not sure if I want to cook in that kind of stifling, humid heat. I'll try out the kitchen method first, and I'll be sure not to use the whole bottle. Thanks for the tip! =)

I just boil them on the stove under tender, then put them on the grill until they're charred. Add sauce of choice. Done. But I don't smoke meats anymore. I used to, but the smoker got damaged.

I like the simplicity of that strategy! It's definitely an option I'll put into consideration. =)

This is also basically the method I use...but I am into rubs and not sauces :)
