Mike, this has probably already been covered. I didn't read all the post , but here's how I get my Ribs done...
First , here's how they look when done...
and the bend test...
I don't wrap my Ribs . I will do a seasoning with my Rub , then into my Smoker @ 225*F for 6 hrs. , then I do the Bend Test and if I want wet ribs , I'll sauce and leave in the Smoker for 10 min. more for a glazing.
Once in my Smoker , I do not open the lid/door/top , at all , until my time is near the 5 hr. point , then the bend test... I keep my smoke nice and Blue for the whole process:
secret is patience... let the Smoker do it's job... your reward will be succlulent Ribs...
Have fun and . . .
