Tried my first set of baby back ribs tonight and cook them for about three hours on a low and slow before they hit 200°F.
I started in the barbecue but the temperature is too high observe around 340°F for the first 30-45 minutes. I’m pretty sure this is what dried them out. They are a little chewy. They’re not tendon falling off the bone like they normally would be and I’m not sure whether I’ve missed this by 10 minutes or by 40 minutes.
After an hour and a half of smoking, I transfer these to the oven for the low and slow.
Low and slowed these for about 1 1/2 hours at 225°F in the oven. I pulled them once they hit a nerve internal temp of 200°F but unfortunately was too late.
I am assuming at this point that it was the starting temperature that ruin the cook as it would’ve cooked the meat too quickly too early. If this is the case, I now know what my settings are on my web are using lump wood charcoal. I had to just about turn the thing off closing all events to get it to say at 225°F. The lump wood charcoal makes such a massive difference in the temperature because you’re not constantly battling with the ash buildup that you were on charcoal briquettes.
Any advice welcome and even though they’re a little dry, the taste is fantastic, which is why it’s such a shame about it. Did a little honey garlic glaze for them dynasties were soft and tender they’ed be out of this world good!
