Cookin' Tips

Equipment & Supplies:

	Pot: large enough to boil water and submerge the rack of ribs
	Plastic Bags: with ties or a sealable version
	Meat Thermometer….yes, that thing with the gauge on it!
	Those great grill tongs you got for the season
	Shallow pan, cookie sheet or something you can rest your ribs on

	Small tin foil bakers pan or aluminum foil (for wood chips)
	Wood chips – see bottom for recommendations that bring out the best results with Johnny G’s Rib Rub Flavors

	Bring enough water to cover the ribs in a pot to a low boil
	Baby Back & Pork Ribs:  Submerge the ribs into the hot water for 10 minutes or until the meat is grey in color.
	Beef Ribs: Cut excess fat from the ribs.  However don’t be too aggressive.  Leave a little fat ….and keep in water until the meat is grey in color
	Take Ribs out of water and let stand until warm to the touch

	soak 2 handfuls of wood chips in water until moist
	remove from water and place in bakers pan (cover with tin foil) or make tin foil package (see bottom for recommendations that bring out the best results with Johnny G’s Rib Rub Flavors)

	In a shallow pan, Shake Johnny G’s Rib Rub on top of Ribs until lightly covered.
	Rub the seasoning into the meat
	Turn the Ribs over and repeat
	Place seasoned ribs into plastic bag and close
	Place into cooler or refrigerator.  The longer the wait the better.

Caution: make sure you have plenty of beverages at your side…I would hate to see you get thirsty….
