I agree with Cliff & Gus, that heavy/hard fat doesn't really add much and it keeps that good bark from forming ! ! !

So I seasoned with killer hogs all purpose seasoning ( which is salt , pepper , garlic, ) overnight. Than before cooking I added dry thyme , onion powder , Chile powder , and cayenne. I cooked 5 hours at 225 and 1 hour at 275. So after 6 hours they still weren’t done but I pulled them anyway. The sides were done and it was just time to eat. Internal was 180 to 185 in most parts. I do this so often. I say screw it and pull things early and I regret it every time. They were still pretty good. But they weren’t amazing because I didn’t give them the extra hour or so they needed. I say you live and learn but I repeatedly do this lol. Here’s the before and after . I should have taken a smoke ring pic of single rib but I forgot.

They look good, and I think you're on the right track.

Next time try foiling with a little beer (or other liquid), and bump the temp up to around 300° or so for the last hour or so (after a good bark has already developed), and see if you like it.  I prefer the end result better, especially with beef ribs as they really seem to benefit from the braise. It gets them good and tender and the bark continues to darken.

That sounds like a plan

They look sooo good... and don’t feel bad... I have rushed on more than one occasion and know the feeling of disappointment, especially after having invested the better part of the day anticipating the end result.

Exactly. I take more than half the day to cook something and than take it off early anyway. Smh I’m a loser
