Nine racks of baby back ribs have just been placed in the smoker.

And so it begins.
 
This is BBQ - no braising or marinating.

We put a KC style dry rub on them a couple of hours before putting them in the smoker:

* 1/2 cup brown sugar
* 1/4 cup paprika
* 1 tablespoon black pepper
* 1 tablespoon salt
* 1 tablespoon chili powder
* 1 tablespoon garlic powder
* 1 tablespoon onion powder
* 1 teaspoon cayenne

You're talking about grilling - quick cooking over high heat. BBQ is low and slow...and takes hours. It's basic function is to cook tough cuts of meat until the connective tissue melts, making the meat tender and edible.

Braised ribs in the oven are fabulous (I have an excellent recipe for short ribs that is wonderful for cold weather dining).
