I have a 55 gal uds, the last 5 attempts making ribs have been a failure. The meat is bright red inside, but the bark is perfect. The meat is chewy and tough, when I rip it off the bone the bone is even red but yet my thermo pen shows inside temp of meat at 200-205.
I tried the 4 hr hanging method. Also the 4 hr on grate. Im running 250-275, using briquettes and cherry wood 1 chunk.
What am I doing wrong? Should I try a heat deflector so its indirect heat? Water pan? Different cut of ribs?
