2 teaspoons pepper white
2 teaspoons pepper red

6 tablespoons salt
6 tablespoons pepper, black
6 tablespoons chili powder
4 cups ketchup
4 cups vinegar, white
4 cups water
1 each onion, large, yellow, diced
1/2 cup molasses, sorghum Barbeque Sauce:
Combine ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil, reduce heat and simmer 1 1/2 hours, stirring every 10 minutes or so. Pour into sterilized canning jars, seal and let stand 2 to 6 weeks before use. (If you are like me, not much chance of this happening, but it is a nice touch to the recipe - CWS) Dry Rub: Mix ingredients together thoroughly. Preparation: Sprinkle dry rub liberally on ribs. Allow ribs to stand 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature until the rub appears wet. Prepare a smoker for long, slow (230F) indirect cooking, using hickory chips or other hardwood chips for extra flavor. Cook ribs, bone side down, for 2 hours at 230F in a smoker using indirect heat. Turn and cook 2 more hours. Turn and cook one more hour. During the last 15 minutes, baste with barbeque sauce diluted by half with water. Serve ribs with warmed, undiluted sauce on the side.

Shake 'n' Smoke Ribs
***DRY RUB***
2/3 cup dark brown sugar; packed
1/4 cup paprika
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon white pepper
2 teaspoons coriander; ground
1 teaspoon salt
***THE MOP***
1 tablespoon butter
1 each medium onion; grated
8 each cloves garlic; minced
1 each 12 oz can tomato paste
1 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon dry mustard
These instructions are for beginning smoke/cooker enthusiasts. It should work equally well in the Brinkmann type of water/cookers as well as most other cookers. The main requirement is the ability to maintain the cooking chamber temperature between 180 and 250F and the cooker must have a water pan to maintain the humidity close to 100%. Add all of the ingredients for the rub into a Ziploc bag and mix thoroughly. Add the ribs, shake thoroughly to ensure complete covering of the ribs and store in the refrigerator overnight. About 5 1/2 - 6 hours before you plan on serving the ribs, fire up the smoker and make the sauce. To make the sauce, sauté the onion and garlic in a little oil until golden brown. Then add the remaining ingredients and stir frequently until everything is totally dissolved. Cook on simmer for about 30 minutes. Once the cooker has settle down to a good bed of coals, place the ribs on the grill over a pan of cold water. Let smoke, covered and undisturbed for about 2 hours. At that point, open the smoker lid and basted the ribs well with the mop, taking this opportunity to check the coals in the fire pan and the liquid level in the water pan. Replenish as needed, adding wet wood for plenty of smoke as well. Cook the ribs for 3 hours more, turning and basting them after 1 hour and again after 2 hours. As always in smoke cooking, precise timing is not terribly important here. Just keep the smoke up and the temperature between 180 and 240F and be liberal with your mopping. By the end of their 5 hours on the grill, the ribs will have long since reached the required internal temperature of 185 for fresh pork, but you can't overdo ribs by smoking, and the long, slow cooking will have rendered them tender to a tee. About 10 minutes before you are ready to serve the ribs, treat them to a final mop, letting it set to a tantalizingly rich glaze over what may be the most succulent ribs you've ever tasted. For finger-licking aficionados, provide yet more hot mop sauce served up in dipping bowls.


Coca-Cola Ribs
4 pounds pork ribs
3 cups Coca-Cola or Dr Pepper
3 cups ketchup
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
6 tablespoons chili powder
4 tablespoons ground black pepper
2 tablespoons dry mustard
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Transfer the ribs to a large non-reactive glass or ceramic dish pour 2 cups of Coca-Cola or Dr Pepper over them. Reserve the third cup of the soda for a sauce to be made later. Let the ribs marinate, tightly covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated, overnight. About 6 1/2 hours before you plan to serve the ribs, start a fire in your smoke/cooker and begin heating a quantity of coals. Then turn your attention to the sauce. Pour the remaining 1 cup of soda into a blender or food processor and measure in the catsup, brown sugar, chili powder, pepper, dry mustard, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth and well blended. No need to cook this one, as least for now. Add some well-soaked aromatic wood such as hickory or mesquite to the glowing coals in your cooker. Set a pan filled with hot water in place, and smoke cook the ribs, covered at 220 to 240F. for about 3 hours. After this initial smoking, turn the ribs, slather them with the sauce, check the supply of wood and water in their respective pans, and continue cooking for another 3 hours, this time turning the ribs every 30 minutes and mopping them with sauce each time they're turned. By the end of the 3 hours, they should have long since reached the internal temperature of 160 to 170F recommended for pork. After the last basting of the ribs, tote the remaining sauce inside and simmer in a medium-size saucepan over low heat until quite thick. Serve the gloriously gooey sauce in dipping bowls with the finished ribs.


BBQ Pasties
4frozen pie shells; thawed
1 1/4 pounds pulled pork
4 medium potatoes; diced
1 large onion; chopped
1 carrot diced
1/2 tablespoon sage
1/2 tablespoon thyme salt and pepper
Mix all ingredients and put 1/4 in each pie shell. Fold the pastry over the filling to make half-moon shaped pies. Seal the edges and cut a couple of small slits on the top. Bake on a cookie sheet at 375F for 30 to 35 minutes, then reduce heat to 350F and bake 15 more minutes. I just replaced the meat in the pasty recipe with pulled pork. It gave it a nice smokiness and with the BBQ sauce, it was great. I like flaky crusts and hate rolling pastry dough, so I use frozen pie shells. I get one pasty out of each shell. This makes 4 pasties. Serve with BBQ sauce and a beer.

Chipotle Pork Tenderloin
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 cup Chipotle sauce
1 clove garlic; (pureed or very -- finely chopped)

3) Remove from foil and sear on all sides over medium coals--reserve marinade and foil
4)Place loin back in foil with remaining marinade and cook using "weber indirect method" until done (about 175 internal) *Some folks might disagree with the use of foil, I just can't seem to find another way to keep such a lean piece of meat juicy.
5) Let meat rest 10 min before slicing, cover with remaining marinade after plating.


Boneless Pork Loin

COOKING OF RIBS

Thaw and inspect ribs - If top of slab is showing any bone (a shiner) notify manager. These ribs are not to be served. Remove membrane.

Cook for three(3) hours at 225°. (Load fire box with two(2) logs) Load ribs on full size sheet pan single layer (do not stack). Wrap tray in film wrap. Load into warming cabinet for serving. SERVING OF RIBS Cut slab in half for order of ribs. If wet ribs-brush BBQ sauce on top (do not dip). Sauce should not be the dominate flavor but an enhancer. If dry ribs-sprinkle BBQ spice over entire top of rib. Juice from rib will absorb first coat. Apply again until rib has a dry appearance.
