2-2-1 Ribs


For this batch of ribs I am going with the classic 2-2-1 formula.  Two hours at 250 with hickory chunks.  Then two hours in a covered tin foil pan.  Then one hour on the grill with a little BBQ sauce.  This creates a fall off the bone rib that wouldn't meet competition requirements but boy are they good!  Soaked some corn on the cob in water then popped them in with the ribs.  Yum, yum.  Canada Day tomorrow!


To start I pierce the 'silver skin' and then slide my finger in and pull it off.  Then made a simple rib rub; 6 Tablespoons brown sugar, 1 T salt, 1 T chili powder, 1/2 t Old Bay seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, 1/2 t onion powder and a good grind of pepper.  Surf the net and vary yours.  Old Bay is a unique touch.





Corn is great on the bbq.  Soak it well before in water.  Then slowly grill for twenty minutes.










 2-2-1 method turned out great if you like very tender ribs.  I prefer a little snap!  But this was great!
