Hello everyone!
We are new here and new to smoking meat but we are having fun!
Borrowed an ECB from a friend a few weeks ago to see if we liked it and last night bought a SS Masterbuilt Electric. Took the 5-day e-course and bought Jeff's recipes. (Trying them today for the first time). Prepared 3 racks of ribs last night and intend to baste them w/Jeff's sauce 1 hour prior to being done. Wow, that stuff is HOT!
BTW (Just have to yell it out loud) my son who is a Marine came home yesterday for 3 weeks!!!!!!!!
My son is home, my 16yr old isn't in trouble (yet...) today and I'm smokin ribs.................its a perfect day!!!!!

Thx Blackhawk I will. Quick question, for those that have used Jeff's sauce. Do I just baste once and hour or two before there done, or is it dipping sauce as well and or should I baste them more then once?

Presently, they were prepared last night membranes off, mustard, rub etc. Now they are steaming in tin foil in the smoker w/apple juice.

In a hour or so I'll remove the foil and baste.................right?

Trece.
3 hours in the smoke just till the meat starts to pull back from the edges of the bones; 2 hours in the foil with the apple juice and whatever; 1 more hour on the heat out of the foil, smoke optional. The sauce is a finishing sauce or can be used as a dipping sauce.

Cheers!

Trece -

You might want to water it down a bit with lemon juice or apple or something to use as a finishing sauce. It's thickerer than a finishing sauce more of a BBQ sauce. Save the sauce baste for about the last half hour or so. Enjoy!
