best ribs yet

Former Member

I did 2 slabs of pork ribs today. Last night,I smeared spicy mustard all over them and put Texas BBQ rub and cookshack rub on them. Put them on this morning at about 11 am and let them smoke for abour 5 hours.Checked them and they looked done, so I took them out and put my own sauce made from Head Country with some adjustments. put them back in for about 45 minutes. They were perfect, very tender and tasty. I think the best Ive done so far. I had friends here from Maryland and they said they were the best ribs they ever had! Im seriously thinking about selling this stuff. My wife got her food license and her and her mom sell indian tacos 2 weekends a month and they clear 3 or 4 hundred bucks a day here. They already have the trailer with all the hookups. I just have to figure out a way to get my smoked meats in there. Guess I could do it at home and take it to where they are selling. Cookshack is a great easy way to make BBQ Im thinking I may have to get another bigger one.

Sounds like a great bunch of ribs and a great idea. You have most all of it there, just need to put it together. I do think the Health Dept, may take issue with you cooking the ribs elsewhere and selling them at the wagon. they usually want to inspect the place where the cooking and preparing are taking place....I think.

Good job popum2000!

I would take Steve's advice and check with the health dept. Sure would hate to have to take up a collection to bail you out of jail!

Where do they sell Tacos? I'm here in Central OK.

It will vary, but they do like to see the "kitchen" but it will depend on the county health dept.

They might also want to see a UL listing.

Long term, the easiest thing to do would be to get the smoker onto/into their trailer as part of their set-up.

Selling ribs is hard to cook enough, especially in the smaller CS's. Maybe pulled pork.

There you go, make the indian tacos out of "pulled pork" as an option. Pulled Pork Tacos...

Most health departments require a complete commercial kitchen in order to prepare food in advance. It will vary from location to location, but my experience has shown that in the case of pre-cooked food, the commercial kitchen is a minimum in most places.

If you cook on-site, the rules change substantially, with more focus being on your food handling and prep areas...

Definitely get to know your local inspectors...they will tell you what they are looking for and give you some great ideas and feedback.

Once you have done that, GO FOR IT!! Nothing better than seeing people enjoying the products you make!
