still waiting on my chimney but anticipate first cook within 48 hours and have MANY questions (I apologize if this is old ground for most/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
bought 3 racks of baby backs at food warehouse (couldnt talk the wife into butts at this time but soon)..they are in cryovac.
how many days can I keep these ribs in the fridge before I either HAVE to cook them or freeze them? (2 or 3 days max til first cook)
when cooking, lay them flat or skewer them in a circle?
is 6 hours about the standard for ribs?
would love to try the BRITU but my wife cannot tolerate anything spicy, and I mean anything (want to make a good first impression with this cook)..is there a mild rub thats not to peppery or hot, but flavorful?
plan on using the minion method so I'm thinking 15-20 lit briqs on top of about half a ring of unlit charcoal..then the wood chunks..is this correct thinking?
I see a lot about basting with apple juice, do ppl do this with ribs too?
thanks to this site I am working up the confidence for my first smoke/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif..any comments, tips, advice are welcome and thanks
