    Baby back ribs not as tender in electric smoker

    You've sold me on the IT method. I'm amazed at all the stuff on YouTube and the web that show people just going by time and not IT. I have a WIFI probe that I could use for monitoring the temps but I'm not sure how to accurately place the probe after wrapping them.

    Baby back ribs not as tender in electric smoker

    I just read over SmokinAl's rib writeup to key on internal temperature. I'm going to try his method next. I'm guessing it would work for spareribs as well ?

    Baby back ribs not as tender in electric smoker

    Thanks for the good information. I'll take a look at what SmokinAl has and give 2-2-1 a try next time.

    Baby back ribs not as tender in electric smoker

    I had been watching this video from Cooking with Ry ( ) who cooked two racks in his Charbroil Electric. Now he only cooked his for 3 hours total. He sauced them at 2 hours. He suggested that if one wanted them to be fall off the bone to go for about 4 hours. I think I'll try for 4 hours next time.

    Baby back ribs not as tender in electric smoker

    My second stab at cooking baby back ribs in my Charbroil Electric smoker. I cooked 2 racks at 225 degrees using the 3-2-1 method. Every hour I sprayed them with apple juice and made sure I had plenty of water in the smoker. After unwrapping them at hour five, I sauced and cooked them for another...

    Searing pork chops in a cast iron skillet in the smoker?

    Thanks a ton to all for the illuminating discussion. My smoker only goes to 275 so I didn't think I could get my CI up to searing heat. So many of the recipes I run into out on the web have you put a skillet into the smoker. It's great to get first hand knowledge and experience from the folks on...

    Searing pork chops in a cast iron skillet in the smoker?

    I'm going to try some pork chops in my smoker and have read a few recipes that suggest smoking the chops until about 100 degrees and then putting a cast iron skillet into the smoker to sear them and bring them up to 145 degrees. I like that idea but I'm wondering if you need to preheat the...

    Racks of lamb on a Char-Broil Electric Smoker

    I wanted to see what my Char-Broil can do for some racks of lamb. I've noticed that many folks on this forum cook theirs at higher temps than my unit goes. Many of the recipes also sear the ribs at the end of smoking as well. I've been looking at all the recipes here and man they look...

    Inkbird BBQ 4T Charging / Setup

    Just got me an Inkbird BBQ 4T for my smoker. Have had all sorts of problems getting it to work with my phone. My first issue was because it was not charged enough, although the unit battery icon appeared to show full. The phone app showed 1%. So I charged the sucker to about 95% and gave it a...

    Is there a best practice for running temperature probe lines?

    Thanks, Al. This will help me set my thermometer up. It looks like the app has a calibration setting for each probe so I should be able to tweak things just right.

    Thanks, Gary. Appreciate the feedback. Have you calibrated your thermometer and if so, how?

    Is there a best practice for running temperature probe lines?

    Thanks for all the suggestions. It looks like I could run the probes through one of my vents or through the door. Will give it a shot in a few days.
