I have heard doing the pellicle process will produce more bark on ribs? I am not familiar with this process and looking for how to do this? The reason I’m looking at this method is I was not getting a good bark to form on my ribs, I have not yet tried the in-foiling method. But my last ribs I left unwrapped for about 3 1/2 hours and nothing. They were baby backs and still no bark? I cooked them at about 230-235, I’ve heard to use a water pan and I’ve heard not to? On my old MES I had and did use a water pan and I did get bark on other meats. Now I just got the Cold Smoker Magnum PIG from smoke daddy and it burns real wood and pushes a ton of good smoke! Highly recommend for any pellet smoker.
I was using Jeff Phillips rub and I’ve tried both putting rub on an hour before, and putting rub on over night, neither method seems to make a difference in bark formation. Do I need to add more sugar on top of ribs when they smoke for the first few hours? Should I add the water pan? If I add the water pan wouldn’t that produce extra moisture which would hinder the bark process? Thanks everyone
