Im experimenting today. Two slabs of BB's, one Im doing 2-2-1 and the other is strait smoke for 5 hours. Im wondering if not wrapping will affect the ribs like people say.
What do they say? The only effect I notice when I don't foil is they take longer to cook. I foil mainly to save on fuel.Im experimenting today. Two slabs of BB's, one Im doing 2-2-1 and the other is strait smoke for 5 hours. Im wondering if not wrapping will affect the ribs like people say.
People that I have talked to say that the ribs will be tougher and drier. Nobody has mentioned anything about them taking longer to cook. I think I will go ahead and wrap both slabs today since we have company coming over to eat at 5pm.What do they say? The only effect I notice when I don't foil is they take longer to cook.

Only about an hour longer for BBs, depending on size. I cook ribs between 235°-245° on a Chargriller. I suspect that at least some of those tough,dry ribs were cooked at too high a temp for too long a time.People that I have talked to say that the ribs will be tougher and drier.
