I picked up some "Boneless Backribs" at SAMS Club yesterday, and thought I would give them a good smokin' today.

Wasn't sure if these were rib meat or loin or what??

It really didn't matter cuz they turned out AWESOME!

Smoked for 2 hours at 170° & 1 Hour at 225°, with Maple, Hickory and Cherry Pellets

I was gonna gonna foil and cook for another hour, but decided to slice off a chunk and try it.

Man, it was so juicy, and the internal temp was already 160°, so I decided to eat as is!

Turns Out they tasted more like Pork Loin than Rib Meat

I'll do these again for sure!!!

Thanks for looking!

Allow the Flame to Burn for 5-10 Minutes and Blow it Out.

If not, I bet you could butterfly a Pork Loin or pork roast, and get the same thing.

About 1 1/4" thick

Awesome Todd !!!!

Nice bearView too!!!!

Good you tested them, before going any farther!

They are easy to dry out.

Thanks,

Bear
 
So, it sounds like it's more on the Pork Roast side, than Rib Meat....Correct?

Here's a pic of a Rib End Roast

Bear is right.....They will dry out very quickly. 

I actually started smoking at 170°, because we were gonna be gone for a couple hours, and I didn't want them to over cook or dry out

The last hour was at 225° and got to temp very quickly

Todd It looks like a great meal ,juicy and yummy .thanks for the Qview


Thx Ahron!

I really was surprised at the amount of fat I had to trim off, almost 1# total.  I keep the fat for sausage making.

Of course, the fat was on the underside!

Looks great Todd.  I've gotten those at our Sams as well.  First time I over cooked them, dry, I was disappointed.  But I learned,  and they have come our great since then.  Nice to see how you set up your MES & AMNPS -- thanks!  I have put mine in burning side away from heating elements, but will switch next time and try it your way.  I figure you have it all worked out!

Thanks!
