    Ribs were disappointing - Any advice?

    So yesterday I smoked 2 racks (1 spare + 1 baby) to enjoy in time for the late game. My temp was 225 consistently in a gasser with water. Spares went in 1hr before the babies.  Here was my problem: The bark was very tough and very chewy, even difficult to cut with a chef's knife. The truth is...
