It was a wild ride for my first cook on the 700FB but the results were excellent. When I first started it I thought I was going to burn down the house. (see pic) Smoked 3 lb rack of ribs with setting of 225. Three hours on the grate meat side up. Spritzed every 30 minutes after the first hour. Wrapped and added butter, brown sugar and honey and let it go for 1 1/2 hours meat side down. Removed foil, placed on a cooling rack, glazed both sides and put back on to firm up for 30 minutes. Recipe is from Malcom Reid. Used homemade Memphis Dust for the rub.
The cook was an up and down ride with the temperature. Had it set at 225 P6. Temp cycled from 204-298 many times during the cook. Only opened the lid to quickly spritz. The end result was very pleasing. Probably one of the best racks of ribs I've ever done. Tender, moist, nice bark but very slight smoke ring.
