Recipe - Memphis Style Method For Ribs

MEMPHIS STYLE METHOD
Weber

: Memphis Style refers to the John Wills method
and recipe of John Wills BarBQue Pit, in east
Memphis Tennessee. John and his family have provided
pork ribs "crunchy brown on the outside and lean white
in the middle with a sweet and tangy sauce."
Step #1: The Memphis starts with rubbing a spicy dry
marinade into the meat before cooking.
Step #2: Tending the ribs on a long, low, smokey
fire, of white oak or hickory. Basting with a second
marinade, turning often on a horizontal rack, every
half hour or so. Cook over a (225F) degree, smokey
fire. Cooking could take 5 to 9 hours depending on the
size of the cooker etc. Stop using the basting sauce
about an hour before serving.
Step #3: Warm the Memphis sweet sauce and either
brush it on during the last 20 minutes of cooking or
serve it on the side.
Weber Method;
See #1 above and then. cook on low indirect fire on
a large weber kettle with chunk style charcoal. Use a
water filled drip pan under the ribs, a boiling pot of
water over the coals. Stand the ribs up on edge in a
vertical rack, and try to cook the ribs on a calm day,
(wind under 10mph).
Cook 5 to 7 hours basting often (every half hour),
with the basting sauce, STOP using the basting sauce
about an hour before serving.
See step #3 above for sweet sauce tips.
