It's been a bit since I posted, but I'm still smoking fairly often. My wife told me she wanted some ribs this weekend. She likes ribs (imo) overcooked. She wants to grab the bone, and just pull it right off. So that's what I tried to deliver. I picked the ribs up at MHK Meats.
Here is the rack, rubbed and left in the fridge over night.
3 hours into the smoke at 230 degrees. I'm smoking with a mixture of hickory & cherry wood. I've spritzed the ribs 2 times thus far with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and a beer from Kansas Territory Brewing called Aeroplane Pale Ale.
After the initial 3 hours, I wrapped the ribs and gave them a good amount of the mixture mentioned above. Here they are after 5 hours on the smoker. This picture is a bit bright, because I took it outside.
After those 5 hours, I slathered the ribs with some bbq sauce, and they went back on the smoker for 1 more hour. During this hour the ribs got 2 coats of sauce. At the end of that hour, they were sticky, but not wet. Here is a picture after 6 hours of smoke.
And finally, the result. Like I said, these are too soft for me. I like a bit more bite to my ribs, but this was exactly what my wife wanted. I'm going to call this a successful smoke.
