Hey guys, first time smoking ribs, I usually grill them on a cedar plank seasoned with Lawrys Seasoned Salt. Anyway, I seasoned the ribs with Weber's Kansas City Rub, applied over a layer of yellow mustard, and I used lump coal with Cherry chunks for smoke. I think I did a good job maintaining thin blue smoke throughout the cook. Ribs were cooked for 5 hours at 235*F, they were slightly frozen still when I put them on. I'm thinking if I left them on a little longer their would have been more bark? Or is there something else effecting that? First time using DigiQ DX as well.

A layer of BBQ Sauce

What are your thoughts, opinions and suggestions fellas? If I let them cook longer would I have gotten more shrinkage?

Looks good, more time would have given you more shrinkage or pull on them. They look good otherwise.

You get a lot of pullback if you foil them.

They look very good to me.

I wouldn't change a thing.

Thanks fella's.

realtorterry It's a probe for my pit temp not the ribs. I was using my new BBQ Guru DigiQ Dx. It really made it a set it and forget it type of thing. I had to add coals about every hour. It held 235 good for a while but dropped down to 215 right before my coals were ready once and went up to 250 when I added too many coals on the last one, but those were the extremes.

I was going to try the 2-2-1 method, probably next time.
