Ok, I think I'm in the right place ~~>
HOT & FAST... Right ??
I'm testing out some different combinations of stuff for Saturday, my dad's Memorial service & BBQ feed...
The wife has been putting up all different kinds of jellies & came up with a real winner
( one among several, actually)
She got to a certain point & asked me what color it would come out if she added a bit of
green food coloring in...Not Sure, I say as it was kind of a light purple at that point...
Used mostly purple basil & with that addition, it turned a gorgeous rich rose color.......
Basil jelly ~~>
Ever since it was sitting on the table setting up, we've been talking about using it for a glaze
or something related on BBQ...
So ribs was what I thought ~~~>
1st a quick trim as the other ones that go on Saturday are St. Lou's
Then a fairly lite coating of granulated garlic ~~>
Then the JELLY !!
Tips in a small separate packet...
These are braized in foil, then crisped out of foil the last part of the cook , coals like so ~~>
Started @ 275° for 3/4 hr & then opened up the bottom vents most of the way to run up to
325° ~ 350° for an hour & 15 min. .....
They look pretty anemic at this point ~~>
Out of the foil with some fairly thin
baste / glaze saved out ~~>
After the 'Hot' hour, the coals are calmed enough to drop down to a steady 260°
& it stayed there for another 45 -50 minutes, glazing every 8-10 minutes ~~~>
Let them go as the coals dropped 260 / 250 / 240 / down to 215 at about 3 hr- 45 min.
Looks done to me, 120° bend with no crack ~~~>
( Must be the jelly that makes 'em do that)
Result: Not too bad, but the basil taste didn't really come thru like I thought it might.....
the jelly is really fragrant
Kinda like those ribs you get at the Chinese buffet, only quite a bit more moist & tender
as they haven't sat in a steam pan for 6 hours...
Need to come up with a more densely flavored & thicker glaze to add to the ending part of the cook....
Hot & Fart (< typed that accidentally ) worked OK, were plenty tender compared to slow cooked....
Couldn't have been too bad, as me & the dawgs ate all of them except that big one on the end....  _________________ Have Fun Playin' with Yer Food !!!

My second time reading this post.
Those ribs actually look delicious!
Nice to see a variation of BBQ ribs.
Did you concoct some type of glaze with the "baste/glaze saved out",
or just use that stuff for the glaze?
Did you add any wood chunks after removing from the foil?
If not, I suppose that could be done, eh?
I'm guessing the ribs had a sweet flavour to them?
Lots of questions, huh?
I am now curious about giving this a try .... some time soon, I hope.
Thanks for sharing, Ken.  _________________ "If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy."

No, just poured carefully over a bunch of times, set in between....
"Did you add any wood chunks after removing from the foil?"
Naw, didn't want to upset the basil cart....

Yeah, like that sticky sweet / savory at the Chinese places....
"Lots of questions, huh?"
Well....Maybe....
