Verdict is in, better than the first batch from about a week ago. Followed the 3-2-1 method again today. Last week, this resulted in overcooked ribs. Today, I cut the 2 hours to 90 minutes and the last hour to about 40 minutes. Ribs were still a bit over cooked.
Due to quality of the ribs, no "rib shot" tonight. I've been purchasing my ribs from Costco in the cryo-pack (3 slabs). pack. The past 2 purchases have contained "mid-grade ribs"; USDA-Choice Likewise, the membrane is already removed! Didn't know this little fact and just about went crazy with the first package.
Today's package contained one really nice slab, and two slabs where there was both silver skin and significant meat above a layer of fat and the bones.
Therefore, after the cook, parting the ribs cause most of the meat to separate from the ribs. Again, the family raved about tonight's ribs as being my "best yet". Well, I will take taste over looks every day that ends in "y".
So, now it si time to plan my next cook on the pellet. As Christmas is around the corner, good chance I will do some St. Louis spare ribs or a full packer brisket.
happy cooking!!!
