Well I put a thermometer inside my smoker and it read 30* higher than my temp gauge screwed into the top of my smoker. So instead of cooking at 225 I was cooking at 255. This may explain my problem. I'll try some more ribs this weekend and see.
It is a single rack. No I have not ever calibrated the thermometer. That was kind of my thought, maybe my temp is much hotter than I think it is. Whats a good way to calibrate it?
Yes that is my smoker in the pic. I did have the ribs on the other side of the smoker than the firebox.
It's a homemade smoker made out of a old propane tank. My father-n-law just showed up at the house with it one day...he made 2 of them and gave me one.
I'm a rookie at this so sorry if this is a basic question.
I did some Pork spare ribs yesterday in my smoker using hickory wood. I was able to keep the temp at 225*.
I used a modified 3.2.1 method of 2.5 - 2 - 30min.
I kept one rack country style and one rack I cut St. Louis style.
I used 2...
Thanks for the reply's ......
Sorry. They were St. Louis style pork ribs. They were tender and tasted great.
I just read a lot about people smoking them for 6 hours (using the 3-2-1 method) and I'm only cooking mine for 2.75 hours. Didn't want to over cook them.
I'm a rookie at smoking ribs. So sorry if this is a dumb question.
I put the ribs in the smoker for 2.75 hours with a constant 225* temp. When I look at the ribs the meat is starting to pull back from the bone and I have a internal temp on the ribs of 170. My question is...can you eat them...
