    Iberico Spare Ribs - First attempt!

    I was worried about over cooking and having a dry rib, been there. I dropped the temps to about 200 and smoked til 5:00 so that is a total of 5 hours. I wanted the membranes to render and they did but not perfect. Taste was very delicate, juicy and mild. Very different flavor that the wife and...

    Iberico Spare Ribs - First attempt!

    3 hours and 30 min: Not sure if I should let it ride so I cut a thin rib from the center area. The outer fatty areas look good. I let it rest about 10 min and performed an inspection bite. Flavor is great, not much meat but the membrane holding it to the bone is not rendered. 🤔 Decided to...

    Iberico Spare Ribs - First attempt!

    Have them on the Yoder offset for 30 minutes so far and they are cooking fast. Most say to cook higher than normal but I'm keeping the temp on the safe side and it's 140 IT already!

    Iberico Spare Ribs - First attempt!

    After looking on line I see the cook time is much less than traditional spare ribs. It seems that with the high fat / marbling everyone is around 135-140 internal temp. This leads me to believe you can almost cut your smoke time in half. Just trying to plan when to start and be ready for dinner...

    Looks like you nailed it! Was your 250-275 at grate level of off the thermometer on the smoker?

    Jim, I'm in Boulder County, CO. I told my son we need to do a few cooks before he carts it away. Trying to pass on a little knowledge or mistakes to avoid.

    Bell Fab First Brisket

    Looks good. I still need to pull one off (that didn't sound right).. BTW I have notes on all my smoking adventures so I never follow an undesirable path again.

    Thanks for the welcome everyone. I’ll post some rib pictures on the new smoker this weekend. The old smoker that I will pass on to my youngest son to get another generation started. Yoder Loaded Witchita under wraps until Sunday.

    Picked up a New Braunfels a few months ago (free on CL) and have smoked with it about 25-30 times. Nothing that is longer than 12 hours from starting coal to finished resting so no brisket. Family and friends are happy but to me it's not quite there LOL... Hope to learn a lot on this forum...
