Big Bald BBQ Baby Back Ribs, aka BB-BBQ-BBR

[civilsmoker]

So wanted to finish the weekend off right with some Baby Backs, so I dusted up a rack with salt & Big Bald BBQ Rub and tossed it on the pit with a mix of cherry & apple splits.

All settled in for a warm nap.......

Ran the pit between 225 - 260.

When it’s all smoked up it will get glazed with sauce.

Pulled it when it showed signs of breaking when bent. I start checking it at IT 190 to judge how much more is needed. This keeps it simple and easy, usually 3.5 to 4 hours. Pulled it at IT of 203 & breaking at 3.5 hours.

I was lazy tonight so I glazed it in the convection oven at 450 to caramelize the sauce.

The cut! Juicy and tender with a nice hint of smoke!

I’ve thought about trying other methods but can’t seem to find a reason.......

Thanks texomakid!

I've been using this simple technique with repeatable success for many (+/- 20) years. As an FYI I always cook to temp first then texture. BBs are usually good between IT 198 (will be somewhat attached to bone) to IT 205 (clean bone). My family likes it (as do I) in the middle of the 2. I test texture by gently bending them and they should slightly resist but the bark should start to break (pull apart).

Edit...
PS my fam prefers texture to our ribs and not pulled pork soft.....to me that is what pulled pork is for.....
