?? on yesterdays rib smoke

strawboss · April 22, 2011, 12:29:00 PM

so I smoked some ribs yesterday and some of them had the pink smoke ring but were brown in the middle. I did 2 racks I used the 3-2-1 method on one, and the other I didn't use any foil just smoked for the 6 hrs. Both racks had some with brown in the middle. I thought the texture was about right they pulled off the bone with ease. Were they under cooked? over cooked.
If it makes a difference I smoked these on my offset smoker instead of the Bradley this time. I took some pics but I don't know how to post them. thanks for any help

Sounds just right to me.

The brown in the middle sounds normal, the color around the outside can come from the rub.

The smoke ring comes from combustion when burning wood/charcoal and not always peasant after smoking.

thanks for the reply OU

I should add, these ribs were a dark brown not the normal light brown. At the time I didn't think much of it since the texture seemed right but when I got up this morning I got sick and I've had an upset stomach most of the day. I don't know what caused it but I'm curious if the ribs made me sick.
I have the pics loaded on photobucket can someone tell me how to get them here

Sounds like you might have eaten some spoiled meat.

What temp were you running the offset at? six hours should be plenty foil or not, for safe eating IT. undercooked meat does not usually fall off the bone.
