Riblets for Super Bowl

[treesmacker]

I have a batch of pork riblets in the freezer that I'm thinking about doing for the Super Bowl. Has anyone done them? Any suggestions? Would I smoke them similar to regular pork ribs at 225 or so? I Imagine that would work, but probably be quicker than larger ribs.

My thought is to do them hotter so they don't dry out. I'd want to balance getting enough time in smoke to flavor them with not drying them out.

[treesmacker]

Yeah, maybe I should smoke low and then wrap them in some butcher paper for finish at a higher temp.

300 them dudes. We used riblets in jambalaya and cooked in the pot with a little oil to get the brownness.

Dang that sounds good.

treesmacker Here is a recipe I typically use: http://www.bbqrevolution.com/weber-k...-featherbones/

BTW Jerod Broussard is spot on with 300.

[Troutman]

Yea I've done exactly the same with riblets as well as country ribs only at 275*. I guess 300* would work as well. Bottom line, basically treat them like you would pork ribs. Smoke, wrap, glaze.

[HouseHomey]

I have brined them when I was on a riblet kick a long while ago. They love acid too.

Sooo you're saying you like paying off the riblets while they are tripping. Interesting concept. I think. Who woulda thought. 🤔

[HouseHomey]

Oopps. Fixing now😇

Why do I want to start singing a version of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" ??

[treesmacker]

OK they're in process. Dizzy Pigs Crossroads rub, smoked them at low 180 degrees for an hour, upped the temp to 300 for about 1.5 hours, and then into the foil - sprayed with "I can't believe it's not butter" rather than melted butter (wife is lactose intolerant). They are in fridge to be finished in the oven tomorrow closer to game time. Pretty much following the link Craigar sent (thanks)... http://www.bbqrevolution.com/weber-k...-featherbones/ So far, I'm very happy with the way they're doing. Game on! Go Niners!!

[Craigar]

Looking good!!

[treesmacker]

I'm looking forward to longer days coming!

well, our little town, Whitehouse, TX just went berserk. Probably has something to do with the fact Mahomes is from here. Jeez, gunshots being fired off all over the place. Having our guests hang out for a while to avoid the crazies on the road. Be safe everyone.

Wasn't his best effort early but he came thru in the 4th.
Congrats KC and Whitehouse, TX.
Sounds like the wild west is back down there, yes please be safe.

[texastweeter]

smokin fool I may or may not have contributed a few .45govt rounds to the foray.

[treesmacker]

Yep. Congrats to KC! They earned it. And congrats to 49ers for a great season as well; they entertained us well this year with many very close wins and losses. I'm going to post my riblet consolation dinner on "show us what you're cooking". And I made several breads to go with that'll be posted in the "bread" channel. The riblets were great - thanks to those who helped me with suggestions for them!
