That color on those ribs looks amazing.  The smoke ring looks deep, can't say anything else that hasn't already been said.  Just wish I was eating them!
 
Looks Great, Al !!

You and that Lang have been putting out some great Q. Thumbs Up
Rib is beautiful!!
Monday I done some chicken without any sauce or rub I just brined it. Then smoked it 325 skin down. It turned out good...was a nice change.

Ribs might be on the menu this weekend.
Point worthy.

Thanks fellas!

It's definitely a great way to see what meat & smoke taste like, then if you want to build a flavor profile start from there.

I will probably do it this way many times again, & you can always have several different sauces to add at the end.

So everyone can have ribs the way they want them.

For us just meat & smoke was perfect!

Love it! What a great idea and one I must try. Now about that needle probe, do you think it is small enough that She Who Must Be Obeyed would miss it if I bought one?

Tried this method yesterday and ribs were moist, tender, and to my satisfaction. However, my wife had 2 issues. One , too much smoke flavor which i can easily rectify. Two, the outside thin bark was a bit too tough for her liking. ( I liked it)
Any ideas on how i might keep it soft? I did have a hot spot on one end that had a thicker dryness from which i can fix by rotating once. I kept the temperature on my electric between 220 and a max of 227 in center towards back using a therma probe and used a power control attachment for my MES 30 model 20071012

Those ribs look fantastic Al!! Great idea to go back to basics and keep it simple. I like it and am going to have to give it a try next time I do some BBs.

Also, I like that you keep the membrane on, I agree with your thoughts that it seals in the juices. I never thought to remove after cooking.

Give my "Perfect Ribs" method a try. The bark will be softer, because of the foiling stage.
