2) Why would you want to? That would mask the natural flavor of smoke you spent the first 3 hours putting on the ribs.

Good point indeed 10.5

please explain the apple juice?  why not some kind of broth, like beef broth?
thanks!

I'll take a stab at this one.  You could use broth if you like, lots of people use the apple juice because the apple flavor goes so well with pork, and the liquid kind of steams the meat, leaving it's flavor in there.

My friend Tiny Tim has hit it on the head. Myself I tend to use Apple/Raspberry juice because that is a flavor my family enjoys. You are more than welcome to try any type of juice or broth that you like. As I said in the original post This is how I make ribs. You have to do what you do to make the ribs your own. Good luck to you on YOUR ribs!!

For me, the apple juice doesn't seem to change the flavor of the Ribs at all, could be because they go so well together.
Now if you want to change the flavor, try some Jack Daniels, Wild Turkey, or other "natural"  :D flavor enhancer.

How much is a good splash? Thats all I put in there. You can put almost any kind of liquid in there.

I'll be smokin' some ribs this weekend.  Thanks 10point.  Is the yellow sauce good for ribs or do you suggest something else?

The yellow sauce might work as a dip on the side. I would suggest just using your favorite BBQ sauce on the ribs during the last stage not the yellow sauce.

I did ribs this way a couple weeks ago and they came out pretty good.  Some parts of the rib seemed to pull easily away from the bone and other parts seemed a little more tough.  I am not sure if maybe I should leave them in a little bit longer next time.  I think I am going to try and do ribs again this friday and will see how they turn out.

Works well on Baby Backs but I'm looking forward to trying this on some spare ribs next.  Finished up the last package of Baby Backs we had in the freezer and told the wife that next time I'm going with spare ribs.  Either way I can't complain.

I've used pineapple juice before while grilling ribs over charcoal with good results. Using the Bradley for the first time today. Going to try apple juice. I have the OBS and don't have a pid yet. I have 3 racks of ribs, am I going to need to leave it on high to maintain the 225 temp?
