Newbie here. First time taking the plunge and showing some pictures. My family loves ribs, so these are my first on Mak 1000.<br />
<br />
Here is the prep.<br />
<br />
<br />
As a newbie, I leaned on Sparky for some pointers. I have always been a griller who relied heavily on his thermapen to make sure everything came out right. Ribs seem to be more art then science.<br />
<br />
30 minutes on smoke. Two hours at 275<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Into the foil with brown sugar, honey, and butter. Back on 1000 for one hour.<br />
<br />
Out of the foil for 45 minutes. A tip from Sparky was to check for tenderness with a toothpick. Honestly, didn't think they were done. Actually the end ribs were good, but the middles needed more time. <br />
<br />
Checked again after 15 minutes, then another 15 minutes. Then it started to rain......<br />
<br />
So I got a little wet with the finish. Sauced the ribs, and then back on to set the sauce.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
They really turned out well. Whole family enjoyed!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks Sparky.<br />
<br />
P.S. I also made some Pepper Stout Beef......very tasty.<br />
