Title: No more braces, let's have ribs
Post by: dclord on September 22, 2017, 07:40:34 PM: I've had at least one kid in braces since I've had this grill. No more, so I can finally do ribs with mo complaints.

Six hours at 225, basic rub, sprayed with apple juice every half hour starting at the third hour.

Came out really good but I think I would like them a little more tender.

Works well. I do mine at 260* for 2 hrs; foil at 260* 1 hr; then painted and naked for 30- 45 min to finish. The surprise is that they are well rendered, but are still moist, and tender. BarBLew's (Fast Eddy) method is great if you don't want to foil. Bottom line: shorter time, higher temp seems to be better with or without foil. Good luck. :2cents:

Post by: MN-Smoker on October 13, 2017, 10:55:39 PM: I did 5 racks last weekend for a party. 3-2-1 style at 225, then raised it at the end. Too fatty / chewy yet.

Not sure if I sprayed too often or if I should have raised temp sooner.

Post by: Bentley on October 14, 2017, 03:18:45 PM: Yeah, 275Â° (true), bone down and 3 hours and you have a pretty good spare rib! I am coming to believe that and move away from the Texas Crutch on ribs!

Post by: dclord on December 03, 2017, 09:20:22 PM: Thanks, I just tried doing them at 275. They were done in a little over 2 1/2 hours and were the best I've ever cooked.
