Yeah, this is going to require more than just a few napkins
Few foods get people’s opinions fired up like barbecue. Whether you like beef and the sweet tomato-y sauces of Texas and Kansas City, vinegary sauce and pork heavy focus of the Carolinas, or mustard sauces of Georgia, everyone has their favorites. Same goes for people's favorite barbecue dish - pulled pork and brisket are big stars, but for me, my favorite dish is barbecue ribs.
If you have ever seen barbecue being made however, you probably know it is also a labor of love to do it well. Unfortunately, I don’t have somewhere I can set up a smoker, spend hours feeding wood into it, and constantly monitor it to make sure the temperature stays just right. No, I have an apartment in the city and not even a balcony at the moment.
This got me thinking however - how can I make delicious barbecue ribs at home in my apartment kitchen? Well, after much reading, experimenting, and asking actual pitmasters, I think I have found a way to make some darn good barbecue baby back ribs at home using just your oven. Yup, no barrel smoker, no Big Green Egg, no tending a fire for 8+ hours - just the magic fire box already in your kitchen. Sound intriguing?
Let’s dive in.
