Ribs.....yeah baby....back.

[bladeguy]

Been a while since we had ribs. Last time I tried, the meat smelled terrible out of the cryo. So, I'm thinking I'm overdue.

Ribs salted, rubbed, and on the smoker. Beautiful spring day here in Wisconsin, so I'm in my tank top.....sorry, though, no pics of that, but here is what you are really looking for......

Going a higher temp than I usually do, but being baby backs, that should be fine. Would like to have these ready to eat in just over three hours, so going with 250 instead of 225.

Ribs are my favorite!  Looking good so far.

These should be done soon!

Lol, they have been done, but I chose to enjoy them first and post pics and results later. Here is what I did, flying by the seat of my pants to speed up the cook......2 hours 15 minutes at 250. 45 minutes in foil with butter and brown sugar at an average of 270. Took out of the foil and sauced and left on smoker at 260 for 15 more minutes,

I used some info from a post from Al about a year ago, and cooked these to temp. They were just over 195, and were bite off the bone, but not slide off the bone, which is what I prefer. His temp method works perfect if you haven't tried it. Ok, here are a couple of pics.....

Thank you Al, not just for the kind words and point, but for the temp tip on the thread you posted a year ago. My ribs have been so inconsistent, and I had always read you cannot cook ribs to temp. Guess you proved them wrong, and I've verified your research for myself.

Nice looking ribs!

Thank you, it's always nice to hear that something I did helped someone else out!

I think as time goes on it will become more mainstream to cook ribs to temp instead of time.

We both know how well it works!

Those ribs look great!!  I have been using Al's method for a while because I like bite off and my wife likes fall off.  So I take my half rack or rack to 195 and my wife's higher.  Al's method has saved my marriage hahahaha

These ribs look great!  Question: Did you follow Al's recipe all the way and leave the membrane on as well?  I'm thinking of smoking a couple racks tomorrow since it's supposed to be 60° in northern IN.  I want to try my current method for one rack and Al's method for the second rack.

Nice looking ribs!  

Thanks, nice tasting too!

Very nice BG, I'm lovin those ribs.

Good job!

Thank you RHD! My family agreed. Even had a little unexpected company that got samples, and they confirmed as well.

Thanks for the compliment!

I only used the information on cooking to temp. I would like to try leaving the membrane on, but I wasn't going to put these at high heat at the end due to trying to get them on the table. If I remember correctly, Al said the high heat at the end turns the membrane to dust, so I will try that next time when I have more time. Let us know how it works.....would be interested in seeing your results.

Yes, post the pics. If you have trouble with the membrane, try going at it from the other side. I had some trouble, tried peeling the other direction, came off much better.
