It has been a while since I have smoked anything, but was thinking about some ribs for the game this weekend. I have done ribs probably about 6 - 7 times total & half the time they are what I would call perfect and half the time they were fairly tough. I have been using the 2-2-1 for the BB's with the same temps, spray, butcher, pull back, etc... The last 2 times I did them, the 1st was a practice run for a family gathering and they were fantastic. Then of course for the party they turned out a bit tough. They always taste great, but everytime I think I have it nailed down it seems like run into a batch that's not quite what I was shooting for.
I may be greatly oversimplifing this, but to get fall off the bone ribs, or something closer (not tough), can you always add time to the smoke? I have read a lot of posts and this seems like this might be a theme that I wanted to get some advice on.
Maybe my struggles are just part of the process, but any help would be appreciated.
