I decided to do a rub, and make do with what I have. I have a container of Barbecue Seasoning; might as well use it. I mixed it with brown sugar. I dried the slab off with paper towels and then rubbed it down with Liquid Smoke. I rubbed in the sugar mix, wrapped the slab in foil, and have it resting on a baking sheet. I'll start my sauce in a few (I have a recipe we like). I'll stuff the wrapped ribs in a low oven for a bit. I'm undecided if I should use the sauce in the oven for the last little while or do it on the grill.
I think I took a bit from each suggestion. What do you think? I have time beyond the rub for other ideas on how to cook, besides smoking, since I don't have a smoker and the smoker thingie that came with the grill sucks.
I'm making slow cooked beans to go with the ribs. Awesome recipe from A Year of Slow Cooking:
"POT LUCK BEANS SLOW COOKER RECIPE
1 lb. lean ground beef; browned and drained.
1 lb. smoked bacon; chopped, browned and drained.
1 med. onion; diced and browned.
1 cup ketchup.
1/4 cup brown sugar.
1 30 oz. can Pork n' Beans.
1 15 oz. can kidney beans; drained and rinsed.
1 15 oz. can butter beans; drained and rinsed (I've used cannelini beans).
1 tbs. liquid smoke.
Use a large crock pot.
As you're browning your meat, bacon and onion add the rest of your ingredients to the crock pot.
Stir the hot ingredients into the crock pot.
Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours."
I've typed the recipe myself, rather than cutting and pasting, but that's the recipe. It is reeeeeally good, and I will totally use it this summer when we have company for barbecues.
