Check out the 3-2-1 method on the links on the left side of the page. That's a great starting point.

ABSOLUTELY check out the 3-2-1 method for ribs. I have only done it twice now and both times the results were amazing.

3-2-1...the only way to fly for the best ribs you will ever sink your teeth into my friend.

Good luck with them and enjoy.

It also hinders the smoke from getting through......Remember 3...2....1. Works loike a charm.

Something to try using the 3-2-1 method.

Spray Ribs with a 50/50 mixture of Apple Juice and Jack Daniels and add rub. Then spray again with Apple Jack.

Put the meat in an aluminum pan or on the racks bone side down. Do not turn. Remove membrane if you want to.

Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m using mostly Apple, Hickory, Oak, Cherry, and Pecan on occasion.

Set Temperature to 235 degrees. Pre-heat 30 min.

If you want to add a sauce do it the last 30 minutes. Watch it real close as it will burn real fast.

When you notice the meat shrinking up the bone a ½†to ¾†the ribs are done. Meat will fall off the bones.

If you want some pull to the ribs, remove them when shrinkage is ¼†to ½†up the bones.

Remove from smoker, cool, and pig out.

Smoking

What is pig candy????

The pigcandy that I make is thick sliced bacon, rubbed with brown sugar, a heavy coating, and placed in the smoker and smoked until the bacon is done. Keep an eye on it though as the sugar will burn if not careful. My wife loves pigcandy and it is very hard for me to keep any long enough to get it cooled down enough to eat. Watch eating it after cooling as it is like eating sticky taffy. I've seen denture pops happen when eating pigcandy. Hope my .02 worth helps and good luck.
