A Different Method (for me) to do ribs. Rib Wing

[RichieB]

It's on the The BBQ Bible web site, but not Steve's take. I just picked up a rack of St. Louis ribs. Might give this a whirl. Anyone do this?

Steven Raichlen is behind the times. This is just another name for Blasphemy Ribs, which have been discussed on the Pit since I got here in 2017.

My experience doing it with baby/loin back ribs is that they take 2.5 to 3 hours. I've not tried it with spares.

I've not done it in some time, but the times I did, the wife and kids all liked it better than the normal way of doing ribs, because all sides of each rib have rub and bark on them, as well as sauce if using sauce. I don't always do it as they take more space on the grill when done like that, and I am usually doing 3 to 5 slabs of ribs at a time. Laid out like this I can fit at most 2 racks of ribs on my kettle with the SNS and an elevated grate. If using an elevated grate for a portion of them, be sure to rotate the ribs top to bottom halfway through the cook, to get it all done at the same time.

I posted this in another thread today - these char siu ribs using Meathead's recipe on the free side are done basically using the same technique, cut into individual bones. This kinda gives you an idea of how many can fit on a 22" kettle using the SNS. Not sure what you are smoking on. This was 2 racks of baby/loin back split between the main grate and a "hover grill".

Like the looks of ribs in the before pic, would like to see the Aft pic.
The grill does not look like a pellet grill?
Did you pair them with PBR?

[jfmorris]

bbqLuv I added an after picture of that cook just for your benefit!

The grill being used is a Weber Performer Deluxe with a SNS.

I most definitely did not pair them with PBR. Most likely they were paired with an American Blonde, a Strawberry Berlinerweisse, or an English Porter, based on what I most likely had on tap at the time of this cook in 2020.

Thank you so much.
You Done Good!

I've never done them. Learn something new everyday. And that's saying something for me.

I've done Blasphemy Ribs with both spares and BBs with equal success. 2.5hrs every time at 225deg on my kettles. As Jim points out mgaretz came up with this method 4 years ago. You can even up this with wrapping them in bacon that I think SwampDonkeyzBBQ did. Cook at 275 for 2.5hrs. Then set the sauce for an additional 10min.

[Troutman]

Correction on that, mgaretz did not come up with a method. That essentially goes back eons in China (Char Siu ribs). He just uses a plain sauce instead of the Char Siu.

SwampDonkeyzBBQ version I did.

[bbqLuv]

Now I want ribs for breakfast. I'm hungry. I should know better than getting on this website early

[SwampDonkeyzBBQ]

Those look outstanding!!

I just posted this comment on Barbecue Bible ..... will see if Raichlen acknowledges Mark came up with "rib wings" long before Raichlen did.

Mark Garetz, part of Pitmaster Club, came up with this approach at least 4 years ago and called it Blasphemy Ribs. The recipe is published on Amazing Ribs and on Mark's own website, Blasphemy Ribs.

[mgaretz]

I heard back from Larry and he has published an addition to his original story that mentions Blasphemy Ribs. Now we just need to get that into Raichlen’s site.

[ecowper]

That's a good step mgaretz

[ecowper]

Funny, my comment on Barbecue Bible still hasn't been approved

[Dadof3Illinois]

I’ve done these several times following mgaretz recipe and they turned out awesome each time!!

[bbqLuv]

Another success, pass a few over to me.

[RichieB]

I gotta visit this site more often.

[Jfrosty27]

Wibs. Love them no matter how you cook them. Smoke on!

[fzxdoc]

Mark's Blasphemy Ribs rock. My family loves them. I've done them with SLC and babybacks, and both turn out great.

Thanks again, mgaretz Mark, for the recipe. I hope you get the credit you deserve.

I have cooked individual ribs for years, going back to 1974, country-style ribs that are boiled in PBR, no less, and seasoned with Adolf's meat tenderizer.
Does that count?

[smokin fool]

Gotta watch those recipe poachers....

[Polarbear777]

Hope this resolves well. People who aren't paying attention like to "invent" things and take credit without doing the research.

[Potkettleblack]

Can I just be the negative nabob who says that Rib Wings is the dumbest name in all of BBQ? And it's a high bar to be the dumbest.

[SmokingPat]

I'll be the second. I was expecting something fancy, like a rack that was half-Frenched and twisted into a pretzel shape or something. 😜
