I had to go to a kid's birthday party last week. I was thawing out some ribs to smoke but my wife put them in the fridge before they were thawed. Leaving me pressed for time when I had to cook them for the party. Because of this I tried the "hot and fast" method of making ribs instead of my usual 2.2.1-ish method. I prefer ribs to not be fall off the bone because then you should just be making pulled pork.

Anywho I cooked them for 4 hours at 300F. This left the ribs with a very thick bark and I thought I ruined them. Served em up at the party and the adults straight devoured 2 racks of ribs in less than 30 minutes. Everyone thought they were amazing.

This has made me question my sanity.

Yeah it just goes to show you that a lot of the shit we do is really nit-picky and most people aren't going to care as long as it's edible. Hell when I was in my 20's I used to put a rack of ribs on the grill and flip them every 15 minutes for about 45 minutes and I thought those were good. They may not make you a winner on "Beat Bobby Flay" or whatever but slather the shit in BBQ sauce and even if you really fucked them up they are still decent if you're cooking for people who aren't snobs.

I usually cook ribs for 3 hours at 300 and they come out great, though I am definitely not a bbq connoisseur

I like this recipe and method
