Ingredients
- Patton's Baby Back Ribs
- Patton's Dry Rub
- Your Favorite BBQ Sauce
Instructions
Start with Patton's Meaty, Tender Baby Back Ribs. Season ribs on both sides with Patton's Dry Rub or make your own rub with kosher, butcher's black pepper, & granulated garlic.
Par cook the ribs over a med/hot grill for 10 - 15 min each side. Lower the temperature of the grill to low and wrap ribs tightly in heavy duty aluminum foil. Continue cooking ribs on low heat or on indirect heat for 1 hour per rack.
(If you are cooking more than one rack at the same time increase the cooking time 15 - 20 minutes per rack and be sure to rotate the racks of ribs every 15 - 20 minutes. --So they don't burn!-- *For example: if you are cooking 3 racks of ribs the cook time after wrapping in foil should be about 1 hour and 40 minutes.)
Open the foil and coat ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce. Allow sauce to cook into meat for 10 minutes.
We stock a good variety of different sauces that we recommend. Try Honey Habanero, Greens Spicy Vinegar, Bone-Suckin' Sauce, or Miss Effie's Peach just to mention a few.

Preheat the oven to 500°F.
Bake the roast for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the temperature to 325°F, and continue roasting for an additional 60 to 75 minutes. The internal temperature of the roast should be at 135°F for medium rare.
Allow the roast to rest for 10 or 15 minutes before carving so the meat can retain its juices.

Try a different rub that we stock. (Lysanders, Runnin Wild, or Fat Boys) They all come highly recommended.
Cook on medium heat for 15 minutes and then flip. Continue this process for a total cook time of 1 hour. You may cook on aluminum foil lightly coated with olive oil (watch for flare ups).

Patton's Dry Rub
Try Lysanders Fish Rub at Patton's Meat Market
Patton's Blackening
Kosher salt, butcher's black pepper, & fresh juice squeezed from a lemon.
Heat your grill to medium heat and place water soaked plank on the grill for 6 - 8 minutes. It will begin to crackle and turn black underneath. Make sure you keep the grill at medium heat and the lid closed or the plank will catch fire!
Place the seasoned Salmon directly on the plank for roughly 3 - 5 minutes each side. Be careful when flipping fish over since it is delicate and can fall apart.
