NEVER Wrap Your Ribs in Foil Again - Try This Old SOUL FOOD Trick

You laid the rack on a sheet of foil, wrapped it tight, and put it in the oven for three hours. When you opened it the meat was grey and soft and sitting in its own water, and the bones slid loose in your hand. Somebody said that is how you know it is done. It is not. Falling off the bone is not the same thing as done. The foil did that. This is the rack the way it came off a pit in the yard behind the smokehouse: the long rack off the side of the hog, a small pecan fire you read with your hand, the meat on one side and the coals on the other, salt the night before, a rag on a stick, sauce in the last half hour, and one thing she did with the rack in the twenty minutes after it came off the fire that I have never seen another soul do. That is the eighth piece and it is saved for the end. Seven pieces get you there, and I tell you why each one works so you can run your own fire without me.
