1) Large sheet or two of heavy duty foil or butcher paper
2) Margarine is easier to use than butter
3) Meat side down
4) more margarine
5) Brown sugar or turbinado
6) Vinegarry sauce
7) Fold it tight
8) Add a splash of citrus soft drink
9) Seal it tight
10) Back on the smoker for no more than 1 hour
Have yet to wrap anything I've cooked. Think I'll give this a chance because the addition of citrus soda tickles my curiosity. Definitely not using margarine.
I have tried this once. Ribs were really tender for sure. But I didn’t care for the flavor profile. LOTS of flavor, but too much in my opinion. I like to taste the pork more. In particular I didn’t like the margarine. But hey that’s just me perhaps.
I use to do something like that (minus the citrus drink), but as Jfrosty27 stated it took away from the pork flavor. If I wrap now, I wrap with butcher paper but with none of the parkay and sugar.
I have tried this and other variations of it, but I have had zero good results with the meat down (always over cooked and rub washes off). I think it is better with the meat (pork spare ribs) up, 2hrs wrapped, and basting an hour in the juices.. Of course, this is just opinion (mine), therefore in fact right, and all that is holy..
I usually go with beer as a liquid but you gotta watch the brown sugar, I had praline ribs one night....things were harder than concrete when the brown sugar crystalized.
