This week, Canada.

We've adapted a low and slow BBQ staple, Pork Ribs.

Featuring a beautifully sweet Canadian style glaze, packed full of flavour and thick with maple syrup.

This dish is a brilliant way to showcase the sheer volume of Weber BBQ accessories designed to support your BBQ efforts. In this recipe we used a smoker, a gas bbq, the new basting brush and bottle and all the usual contenders too! (gloves, drip trays, tools, etc).

Slow cooking our pre-rubbed ribs in the Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker 47cm allowed us to form a serious bark/crust for maximum flavour, the ribs were then returned to the smoker and wrapped in foil to steam (Texas crutch method).

We then glazed the ribs generously using a sauce made from the trapped juices and lashings of maple syrup. The final cooking process of grilling directly on our Weber Genesis E330 helped to develop a wonderfully sticky caramelisation on the meat.

Sweet, sticky ribs, packed full of smokey BBQ flavour, this has got to be one of our best cooks yet at WOWBBQ HQ.
