Hickory Smoked Ribs with Chicken Thigh Snack

[rubrchickenhead]

I decided to skip the foil stage and smoke baby back ribs for a full 5 hrs. The chicken is a bonus.

After 2 hrs of smoke flipped the thighs and moved closer to coals to crisp the skin. Also basted with bbq sauce.

After 2.5 hrs total we enjoyed some chicken thighs while the ribs finished. Excellent idea. . .

After 5 hrs total with hickory smoke the whole time. They had an excellent smoky pork flavor. These disappeared fast!

They weren't as tender as foiled ribs, but still pretty tender.

Looks really good. I'm spoiled with my gasser. That's got to be a task to keep the temps right on that machine!

It's not that difficult, I made these no foil partly because I didn't have a lot of time to micro manage the smoke.

All of it looks really good. I never foil my ribs, and they are always juicy and tender after 5 1/2 -6 hrs on the smoke.
