Hey guys I put two nice big slabs of baby backs in 2 hours ago. Have a nice amount of rub on them. It's only my third time smoking ribs cause I never really have the best of luck with them. The reason I'm sure is in the title of this post. I'm lazy when I cook them. Not doing 3-2-1 just have them on the middle two racks. I rotated them once so far. Any tips that might help me out? When to put sauce on , should I ever flip them. I am running nice and hot with 259 on the probe on the bottom rack (door thermo says 215. Running with no mods. I know I should be 3-2-1 ing it but just not gonna. Any tips? Thanks(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/05/u3uve3up.jpg)
Now I'm getting another beer, just watched the Blackhawks go up 2-0 in the series. Go hawks
I'm of the no foil ribs school of thought, I start mine bone side down in the middle racks for the first 2-3 hours then I flip them meat side down for until the meat is starting pull from the bone, then I flip them back to bone side down until they are done to our taste. I look for the meat to pull back from the bone and I use the skewer test by seeing how easy it slides in between the bones. I do spritz them with apple juice about half way through the first stage and again when I flip them back to meat side up. I know it's not the conventional wisdom but it has always worked for us.
Is there any water in that tray in the bottom of your smoker that appears to have a pile of spent pucks in it? If there isn't you are risking a grease fire.
They actually turned out pretty good they went almost 4 hours and I did halfway through refill the water bowl with the beer I was very happy I put on a little saucily end and they were yummy
I did rotate them top to bottom front to back twice during the total cook time and they were really good here's a picture of the finished product(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/06/evuvarah.jpg)
