FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Gettin' Saucy for National Barbecue Month May kicks off National Barbecue Month -- Yee Haw! To celebrate, we thought we'd share a recipe from Mr. Dickey's Barbecue Cookbook. These ribs are lick you lips good. Pork Ribs with Sweet Barbecue SauceYields one rack (11 to 13 ribs)Smoking Temperature: 270 to 295 degrees FSmoking Time: 3 to 3 ½ hoursKindling: Hickory Log, quartered 1 rack St. Louis-style pork ribs 3 ounces Rib Ticklin' Rib Rub Sweet Barbecue Sauce (see recipe) Place some kindling and a few pieces of newspaper sprinkled with canola oil inside your firebox and light. Once the flame burns steadily (in about 3 to 4 minutes) add a hickory log and bring the temperature inside your smoker to between 270 and 295 degrees F. (Make sure your thermometer is calibrated) Sprinkle Dickey's Rib Rub over the entire rib rack and use your hands to rub it in. Place the ribs bone-side down on the smoker. This will allow the smoke to channel under the ribs and achieve an overall smoked flavor. Place a foil loaf pan full of water in the smoker as close to the firebox as possible. Replenish the water in the pan as needed. While maintaining a temperature between 270 and 295 degrees F, smoke the pork ribs for 3 to 3 ½ hours. Be sure to check your temperature, adjust the vent, or replenish the wood every 20 minutes during the smoking time. Do not flip, turn, or poke the ribs with a fork at any time during the process. I suggest performing what's called a “break test” for doneness. Grab the rib rack with a pair of tongs. If they immediately begin to “break,” (not bounce) they're ready. If they are still “bouncy” let them smoke for another 20 minutes. Once all of the ribs have passed the “break test,” remove them from the smoker, set aside and let them rest for 5 to 7 minutes.
