Years ago, my Dad used to grill baby backs after a "sugar cure". Usually, due to the sugar, they would easily burn. He either did them on an open bbq or an old covered charcoal burner. They are great with the Cookshack though. This recipe should handle 3-4 racks of ribs.
5 lb. granulated sugar.
3-4- tbs. or to taste granulated garlic
1/2 bottle Colgins liquid smoke (optional)
teriyaki sauce (or you can use soy)
Combine sugar and garlic in LARGE bowl. Add liquid smoke-you don't have to worry abouit mixing it in at this point. Slowly add Teriyaki sauce ( I get mine in gallon jugs at Costco) and stir mixture until you get a VERY thick "glop". After prepping ribs, I cut them in half-mainly to fit a smaller roasting pan about 5 inches deep. Place 2 pieces in pan, cover with glop. Add more ribs, more glop etc. The ribs will tend to float up in the mixture so I cover the roaster with heavy duty foil then put a couple of bricks (soda or beer cans work great too) on top of the foil. Be sure the pan isn't so full that you run the risk of it overflowing the glop all over the fridge. Put in fridge about 24 hours. Remove ribs and wipe well with towels. I rinse mine off and it makes no difference in the finished product. Place in Cookshack at 225 for 3-4 hours with a chunk of apple and a chunk of hickory and enjoy! Let me know what you think.
