I tried to dictate/type enough of an excerpt to motivate some interest - considering that Senator Paul is suffering from broken ribs. And that the affliction might affect a FReeper now and then . . .
Note that this advance, if such it proves to be, would reduce cost as well as getting improved results.
Good information never the less.
I was thinking a good rub and low and slow...
Broken ribs 3 times, ages 10, 29, and 38, so I hope I’m done.
Me too very disappointed lets hijack the thread
Me too! Oh well, at least clicking on it wasn’t a basted effort.
No, no, no. First you beer-steam them at 250 for two or three hours. Then you put them on the top rack and get a bed of moist hickory wood steaming on your coals in the smoker box. When those die down, get the coal in the charcoal side going, then close the lid when the flames taper off. Brush and flip every few minutes with a good Kansas City style BBQ sauce, until that bark around the edges caramelizes and gets crispy. The meat is literally fall-off-the-bone tender.
Sounds like a great thing.
Rib fractures suck. Never had them, but not for lack of trying. Just been lucky, I guess. I was a third base coach in a baseball game one time and wasn’t looking, and got hit in the mid ribs with a blistering line drive.
For about a month, every time I breathed, I got a stabbing pain which eventually became a dull pain.
The worst thing for me was when I was managing the pain and something would cause me to cough or involuntarily inhale sharply, like accidentally bumping against something or if I forgot and tried to say something, or..if someone said something funny that made me laugh.
I don’t know if my rib was cracked or broken, but it couldn’t have been more than one single bloody rib.
I cannot imagine breaking three or four of them in a line...just cannot imagine it.
The trick is don’t go light on the mesquite BBQ sauce.
Beer steaming is a must! Marinate in sauce overnight and slow roast. Now I’m hungry!
I was hoping for the same when I clicked on it.
Makes me feel even more sympathetic toward Rand Paul.
I've broken my pelvis, a thumb and an elbow. Of the three, the elbow is the worst as it will never fully heal.
Breaking bones is miserable.
Great Iink and read bookmarked for later too
Although if you are oven cooking the ribs in foil before putting them on the grill the juice from inside the packet makes a wonderful glaze when cooked down.
Note: These are GRILLED ribs not Barbecued Ribs. All of them wonderful in their porky ways.
That’s my plan tomorrow.
I peel off the white membrane on the underside of the ribs before smoking.
My bones don’t break despite best efforts to do so in my youth
I have turn my sternum once and another time the cartilage between several of my ribs ....Drs said both times I would have been better off breaking ribs as they would have healed faster...Nothing like sleeping sitting up in a chair for a xouple months
