"DRUNKEN" SPARE RIBS 2 racks Pork Side Ribs Marinade 9 cups cherry wood chips (2 litres) |
Combine marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Reserve ½ cup (125ml) of marinade for basting later. Pour remaining marinade over back ribs cover with plastic and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours or overnight.
Make 3 smoke pouches by placing 3 cups (500ml) of wood chips (for a gas grill or all the wood chips if using a charcoal grill) into a bowl of cold water to soak for 1 hour. Spread wet wood chips equally on 3 sheets of Aluminium foil. Combine green tea leaves to dry wood chips and distribute evenly over the wet wood chips. Fold up foil into a sealed pouch and pierce multiple times with the tines of a fork, resulting in many holes for the smoke to escape.
Smoke ribs at 220°F/93°C at indirect heat for 3 hours basting with reserved
marinade each hour. Change smoke pouch when smoke dissipates. Remove from grill
tent loosely with foil and allow to rest 10 minutes. Serve with
