The finished product. They were slightly on the dry side but tasted great. Next time a small pan of water will be used.

What was your method for cooking the ribs?

Maybe we can help you so that next time they won't be dry.

I rubbed them up and let them sit for awhile. Put them in at 225 for 3 hours. Then foiled them for about 1 1/2 hours. I by no means screwed up the meat. Just wasn't as moist as I like. That's why I was wondering about water.

Sounds to me like you didn't cook them long enough.

I smoke my ribs to internal temp, not time.

195 is tender & juicy, but not quite FOTB.

If you want FOTB, then go to 200-205.

I gotta admit my wife knows her way around a peice of meat as far as doneness. It was about 2 steps away from being beef jerky concistantcy. These ribs were bought packaged at the grocery store so they may have been a little thinner than your average rack. Next time I do it I'm gonna go to the local butcher shop and get a proper rack. I'm thinking with a nice thick rack I'll be in good shape.
