I’ve been having smoked meat withdrawals and we’re not quite ready to re-stock with our annual Berkshire so I asked the Wife if she would pick up a 3 pack of Ribs from Costco. Only $30 which ain’t a bad deal as far as I’m concerned.
Squirted with some yellow mustard and rubbed em’ down with a “Yardbird” & “Meat Mitch” mix.

Moped on some “finishing sauce” we use this stuff on everything. Wrapped it up in butcher paper. First time using butcher paper on ribs. We normally use foil but I took the bait on the peach paper fad and now it needs using up.

After an hour we unwrapped and slathered on the sauce. We wanted a sweet sauce this time so I cheated and threw down some blues hog.
After another hour we took it off and let rest for 5-10 minutes.

So the end result…. There were some crispy bits and instead of a 3-1-1 this rack would have benefited from a 3-1-0.5.
I’m really trying to use my senses more and more to determine “done-ness” instead of time and temp. We’ll log this into the diary and continue down the rabbit hole. Two more racks left and I do believe we’re going to do a Mexican style crockpot with one of them.
 
Thanks everybody. Looking at the “100’s of hours wasted” and “Al’s method” threads, I’m going to probe em’ next time and see what happens. I’m sure they’ll turn out amazing. I’ll keep you all posted.

Those should be on a billboard advertising ribs! What was your opinion on the peach paper vs. foil? I'm in the same boat, I have about 1.3 miles of butcher paper I'd like to start using up, and ribs going on today.

Sounds about right I do a 3 1 .5 most times. i usually only change the first 3 hours as I wrap when i get a decent bark and color.

Haha! Thanks Big Grouch!
I like the paper. It seems to keep the ribs a little dryer if that makes sense. Not so steamy.
How’d the ribs end up for ya?

I’m trying to keep my ears open. The meat will talk to you if you listen. 😎
