The hickory I used has seasoned for a year or a little more. Son called and said they were just right, not completely falling off the bone, just a little tug and clean bite, real tender, had a real slight smoke taste. I did one rack kinda sweet, spicy and wet and the other a little more spice and dryer. I smoked them 3 hours, wrapped for an hour, unwrapped and back on the smoker for another hour. Ohhh Baby Backs (you could probably tell)
Thanks for looking
