1st Rib Smoke with Q-View

[jaye220]

Tested out the new GOSM Big Block with a couple of chickens last weekend and threw a rack of spares on yesterday. Being the first time that I've ever cooked ribs and only the 2nd time using my Big Block, they turned out pretty tasty. I used hickory chunks, the 3-2-1 method and Jeff's Rub. Tried to keep the temps at 225 but it was usually up around 237 or so.

Anyway, take a look at the pics and let me know what you think. Like I said, the taste was nice but I'd like a bit more tenderness and a smoke ring next time.


All rubbed up with a few trimmings in the back:

Add a couple of unlit charcoal bricketts to the wood box, it will aide in the smoke ring, something to do with gas. 3-2-1 is a guide you should foil when you get about 1/4" pull back on the bones. Some slabs are ready in 3 hours and others are ready 3 1/2 hours. play with it, you will figure it out. By the way I never foil and my ribs are always tender.

By the way...nice job you're doing good.
