Hello everyone,
New to the forum and new to smoking. Appreciate all the help anyone can give me.
Let me start by telling you that I am attempting to smoke baby back ribs with a charcoal smoker. I use briquettes of charcoal and hickory wood chunks(I usually chop the large chunks apart). I also use a dry rub three hours before they are put on the smoker. I take the membrane out from under the ribs also.
My problem is that the meat is getting done way too fast. I beleive the problem is that maybe too much charcoal. Or maybe that I am using too much hickory wood. I usually use about 3 chunks(about 3 inch square blocks) of hickory I used less charcoal/hickory the last time and still the ribs were at 160 degrees at about two hours. I would like to smoke the ribs longer than this to achieve the tenderness.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
