Maui, Hi.
Aloha All,

For presentation purposes, I like to smoke Babybacks in their whole lengths. I am using the no foil method. However, I find that the thinner end of the ribs usually smoke faster, and by the time the main part of the ribs are at the point that I like, the thinner end is overcooked. I usually put the thicker side of rib on the hotter side of the rack I'm using in the SmokeVault, and I keep the temps in the smoker at 235.
Are there ways to smoke the whole length of rib so that the whole lenght is at a consistant texture?
 
I would maybe try a little cooler temp , maybe around 200-215*
I do mine most of the time no foil also and try to keep the temps down.
they usually take about 6 hours. there is no right or wrong way but thats the way I found I like them.
 
Hmm..the ones I did yesterday took about 4.5 hours at 235.


Maybe I went too long on the smoke. I remember I had good pullback at the 2 hour mark. I think I'll try another rack this week, and smoke em to the point that I like the texture of the thinner end. I'll make note of the time. Then I will see how much difference in texture there is between that end and the thicker part of the rack.
