Title: Rib Quest #5
Post by: sparky on August 03, 2017, 11:10:32 AM: Still using spares. I have cooked 3 other racks of spares to get here. Practice makes perfect. Still the same temp, rub (i used my voodoo rub on 1 rack. I am loving this Kosmos killer beer honey rub). I did change my foil time from 1 1/2 hours down to 1 hour. Same time at the end. Made a huge difference in appearance and texture.

Temp 250°. 3 hours naked, 1 hour wrapped with blues hog Tennessee (love this stuff) then unwrapped for 15-20 minutes (enough time for a FT) to tighten up and a thin layer of blues hog regular sauce. Very pleased with this one. Color and texture to me is a huge factors when I cook ribs. If the color is not right. No bueno. There is a very fine line to get the just right texture in a rib. I don't know, maybe I'm to critical on myself. I know what I'm looking for though. I'm getting there.

All in all a good cook. The next few cooks will be on a new smoker. It's showing up this morning. Only two ppl on this forum know what it is. Hope my wife doesn't get mad. I will post some pics later. It will be a new way of smoking for me. 8)

You do know how to live on the "edge" with your smokers. I seem to recall a conversation both our wives had about our smokers when we met in Reno last year.

Being the rib whisperer that you are - any advice on baby backs? My Daughter has requested baby backs for her birthday this Saturday. I was planning on a 3-2-1 method that I have used but maybe this would be better????

Thanks

Baby backs I know really well. 275° / 2 hours naked / 2 layers of foil (1 tablespoon of butter cut up in 4 pieces, honey and brown sugar) on top of the ribs / cook 1 more hour wrapped Boone side down ( enough time for 2 FT's) then unwrap and pour the foil juices over the ribs when you put them back on the smoker. 15 - 45 until toothpick tender. Let cool a little. Cut up and enjoy.

Ok, 1 rib lesson = 5 bucks. Pay it to the forum (tee). And now we are square.
