    Would like to improve appearance, ribs

    For the pro-Turbinado sugar guys...Do you you foil and use sauce?  I bought a box of Turbinado and made four racks.  I'm sure I could do some research, but I had difficulty getting the turbinado to stay on the ribs...Every time I'd touched the ribs with the tongs seem like a good bit would flake...

    Would like to improve appearance, ribs

    Thanks for the follow up.  Honey gives plenty of shine, butter can't add to that yet you could use it in place of the butter for shine.  Butter sure tastes good and is really rich vs a thinner BBQ glaze.  My advice to you, try 3-2-1, three hours smoked, two hours is normally foiled, I've just...

    Need some help with ribs....

    Forget to add, you need to heat up the sauce/honey in a pan for 30 seconds or heat it up in a bowl in a microwave or else it won't mix well.  Let us know how it turns out.

    Questions about tenderness?

    Smoke it until it hits 165f, then wrap it in foil until it reaches your desired finish temp.  Some like it 190 others until 210.  It will soften the bark, but most people mix in a dressing or BBQ sauce on top the pulled pork which ruins the bark anyways...

    Foiling back ribs with rum.

    Can't go wrong with anything.  If you want it to taste like something, eg rum, put the liquid in the spray bottle and spray it on at the very end. :)

    Pre cooking ribs in the oven

    I've tried it before, I did not like the results they hardly retained any smoke.  The ribs will only absorb smoke until a certain temp.  Smoke them for three hours first so they can absorb the smoke then finish in the oven.  I have actually smoked several racks of ribs for 3 hours, foiled and...

    Simply add double or triple the paprika.  You add honey into the BBQ sauce, ballpark a 20-25% ratio of honey to BBQ sauce. :)

    Secret weapon to impossibly tender 3-2-1 ribs....Oven bags!

    I used butter and think you do need some liquid.  For the record, I cut two racks in half (four half racks) and put them all in the same bag.

    Secret weapon to impossibly tender 3-2-1 ribs....Oven bags!

    A little background.  I have made close to two hundred racks of ribs in my MES smoker, mostly 3-2-1.  My friends and I like fall off the bone and understand not everyone else does.  My trick is to use an oven bag for all ribs instead of foil.  I was concerned that the plastic bag could melt on...

    Flavor matching your rubs to bottled sauces.

    Hello all! As my first post I just wanted to give some background. I lived in New England for a most my life and visited some hole in the wall BBQ joints and thought their BBQ was great. Once down south, I attended a BBQ competition and fell in "real" BBQ. I then visited some hole in the...
