First No Wrap Ribs (baby backs) going on in a couple hours...nervous

[texomakid]

Very nice looking ribs. I know, I keep messing with both wrapped and unwrapped. If time permits I prefer to not wrap but when I'm in a pinch for time, wrapping works as well. Sometimes there's not a wrong. Great cook - congrats. I'm hungry :)

Absolutely fantastic. Those look yummy. Sorry I couldn't give you more than 1 like!

Great looking smoke. They say There is more then one way to skin a cat. Same goes for smoking, if it tastes good, your way was the right way. All that matters in the end, is if you and your family like it.

Good looking ribs. I stopped wrapping my ribs many years ago, I just prefer the bark and texture when unwrapped.

As crazy as it sounds, I got consistent results once I stopped wrapping ribs. The smoke/cook time varies, but the results are always the same.

I threw some ribs on about 3 hours ago, mustard, dry rub, and brown sugar.

No idea how they'll turn out since I changed plans from 321 to no wrap two hours in.

Yours look delicious.

I just did mine yesterday and they came out moist and tender. However I did not like the spice rub that I put on it recipe calls for too much cummin and other spices. Just have to keep it simple I guess salt pepper paprika should do it

Hey @sandyut Those are awesome looking ribs!! You have now convinced me to give the no wrap a try!! I have one rack of spares left in the freezer...they are coming out for a Thursday cook and its going to be no wrap all the way!!
You have inspired me sir!!

Of course if I fail it all your fault...LOL

 

[sandyut]

Baha you wont fail.

I did spritz with an apple juice bourbon mix I had left from a previous cook. the bark and a nice crunch to it with the sugars from the spritz and rub. couldn't taste the bourbon...except the stuff in my glass.

But yeah I am done wrapping. The wife was not a rib fan...till this cook. which will help the marriage because I love ribs.

Outstanding rib cook! This reminds me... Im due for a batch of ribs myself. Ill give "no foil" a try. That's funny, because I just did a "no-foil" Butt that turned out fantastic. Of course, why not ribs?

My go to rubs for pork are more sugar based. Jeffs rub is very good. I also purchased a couple I liked as well.

Beef I definitely like the more salt based.

OK now I have to try the no wrap method. Those are some awesome looking ribs!!!
I am a fan of "Killer Hogs" rub for Baby backs!

Clearly not enough bourbon!
