St Louis on a Friday

Usually cook baby backs thought I'd give these a try plus they were on sale [emoji]128522[/emoji] read up on ribs thinking about omitting the foil on the 3-2-1

Thanx Richie my electric smoker came with a temp prob so I can check it easily, a sear on the grill is something I'm gonna try ribs have been on for a hour trying to time it so they'll be done before the old lady goes to work

David I would not depend on the built in probe, unless you were able to test it

David I think they look great,now all you need to do is check the probe. I have to give you a point for trying 

If Mrs B was happy your set

Those look great!  I love sweet baby rays.  I've only done baby backs a couple times, I prefer the st louis cut.  more meat.  I've never checked temp on them.  I just cook them for 5 or 6 hrs, sometimes 7 if they are thick or my smoker was not running as hot.  Cook till the bark breaks when I lift them with my tongs.  great job, great meal!

Thanks I used to check my ribs by feel they gotta be a little floppy a lot of give but since I'm new to smoking most of the reading I've been doing IT temps is key, sweet baby rays is my favorite got a bunch of freebies when I went to a race in Memphis been hooked ever since
