    How to get "fall off the bone" smoked ribs?

    That sounds like great advice. I think I'll need to plan 7-ish hours in my smoker to get the tenderness we're looking for. Thanks!

    How to get "fall off the bone" smoked ribs?

    How to get "fall off the bone" smoked ribs?

    Thanks for the input. It's the wife that likes the ribs to disintegrate when she touches them, so she is my biggest critic.

    Long time griller, first time smoker...

    I've been grilling both gas and charcoal for a while now. I was given one of the Sam's Club rebranded Smoke Hollow 4-in-1 grills a while back and just decided to start using the COS smoker. I have yet to do any of the suggested mods to the grill, but so far I think I'll start by sealing up the...
