Smoker-less Smoked Ribs. In an Apartment Oven.

When you spend five weeks trying to hack smoked ribs without a smoker, you need someone brutally honest to tell you if it actually worked. So I brought my oven-baked ribs to Austin — first to pitmasters at LeRoy and Lewis, then straight into the hands of Joshua Weissman. The result? Let’s just say his reaction left me questioning my sanity… and maybe barbecue tradition itself. Smoker-less smoked ribs. In an apartment oven. And Joshua Weissman’s verdict is in. New video out now.
