First ribs

[Spartan165]

Hi everybody
So this past weekend I smoked my first rack or ribs.

I seasoned with a store bought rub and let the sit in the fridge for 13 hours before the smoke.

In the morning I fired up the smoker and once I got to 250° I threw on my ribs.

I decided to go with the 3,2,1 method this time and smoked the ribs between 225° and 250° for 3 hours then I wrapped with dark brown suger and red bamboo honey for 2 hours.

They looked and smelled awesome after the wrap it was hard to wait that last hour but I'm glad I did because they turned out great!

I can't wait to do ribs again these turned out so good. My wife said they were the best ribs she ever had! Thanks for taking a look!

Yeah this was only the second time I have run my smoker with food on it so I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out. I am still figuring out how to maintain my temps. Needless to say I was really happy with how they turned out.

Dont sweat the temp swings. You'll learn that thing pretty quick. Just do yourself a favor and get a notebook and keep notes. It will be a life saver at times

Chris ^^ took the words right out of my mouth. Wow.

I can't even make a wild guess at the number of ribs I've barbecued, and those look as good as any. Great job. Did you think to turn them over when you sliced them? This allows you to line up your knife perfectly with the angle of the bone and you will get the same amount of meat on each side of the bone. If you wet the cutting board with some sauce or even water, you won't mess up your glaze.

Good job. Always feels good when you do something right the first time you try. You nailed those ribs to the wall!

You are welcome, presentation really counts. These are back ribs, but the principle is still the same. Oh and by the way..... I have a feeling "next time" will be sooner than you think.

Looks awesome. Love the pull back on the bones. Makes a nice handle.
