Wrapping Ribs

[Frank S.]

Is it OK to wrap BB Ribs in aluminum foil overnight? I rubbed 3 racks with BRITU, and wrapped them together in foil and threw 'em in the fridge for the WSM tomorrow. I'm wondering if the foil will have any effect on the taste...?

Depending on what is in your rub you can get a reaction to the foil, metalic flavor. Plastic wrap is the way to go at this point of the process.

Jim, I used the BRITU recepie:
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup non-iodized table salt
1/8 cup brown sugar, dried
4 tsp chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp Accent (MSG)
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder

Anything in there that would have a bad effect?It's a little too late now anyway. I have no choice but to go for it.

Anything acidic will cause the reaction, you're probably ok, but get use to using plastic wrap and eliminate the chance for a probblem.
Have a good cook.

Hi Jim,
I made a good deal on some freezer paper at a store that was going out of business and use it to
do my prep and wrap overnight. Is this OK?
