My First Attempt at smoking Baby Back Ribs!! Q-View UPDATED WITH LOTS OF PICS!!!! IT WAS YUMMY!!

[jhobbs1216]

This is my first time ever smoking ribs.  Hope you all enjoy looking at my process.  Tonight I got the ribs ready and put a rub on them and they are setting in my fridge as I am typing.  Here is a little tease.  The finish product will be put up tomorrow night!!

I plan on using the 2-2-1 method and smoking at 220-230 does that sound ok or does it need to be modified.

Ribs Fresh From The Store!!!

Here are the ribs all rubbed up and ready for fridge!!

2-2-1 is a great place to start!

 

[supercenterchef]

plan sounds good, keep us up to date!

If you want to crisp them up a bit raise your smoker temp to about 275-300 for the last 1/2 to 3/4 hour or so?. That's how I do mine but I like my final saucing to carmalized and to have a bit of char on the pull back.

Anyway you do them they are going to be delicious

Good luck

Wrapped and ready i put some pickle juice in one and some coke in the other.  Didn't notice i was out of apple juice till i went to pour some in  

 

[SmokinAl]

Never heard of using pickle juice, I can't wait to see how it will taste.

 

[jhobbs1216]

[jhobbs1216]

Sauced and back in for the last hour looking/smelling good!!

 

[jhobbs1216]

Pickle Juice... Interesting...Vinegar, Salt, Sugar, Garlic, Herbs and Spices...Sounds like a good, "I Need IT Right Now!" option...Great thinking in a pinch, J!...JJ
