Wanna know why Dickey's is the worlds greatest barbecue?

Ribs are the backbone to the barbecue business and Dickey’s understands that the perfect ribs are not necessarily a science, but an art form.

How do we get perfect, mouthwatering fall-off-the-bone ribs? That’s the secret we are sharing today.

   
Dickey’s always starts with a great rib rub, like Dickey’s Signature Rib Rub which includes ground cumin, salt, garlic a sugar and maybe a few secret ingredients. After slathering the ribs with the rub, we place the ribs in the smoker bone-side down. This allows the smoke to channel under the ribs and achieve an overall smoky, savory flavor.

We smoke our succulent ribs at a temperature between 270 and 295 degrees F and we smoke them for 3 to 3 ½ hours.

To check the doneness, we perform the “break test” by grabbing the rib rack with a pair of tongs making sure they immediately break. This means they are perfect. At Dickey’s, we make sure our ribs literally fall-off-the-bone and melt in your mouth -- nothing else will do!

Have fun and don’t worry about getting a little messy -- that’s just part of making great barbecue.

Are you a rib-natic?
