Smoking Novice

[classicrockgriller]

Want to determine if this is a smoking NoNo...I want to take ribs to the beach to serve on Thurs evening...will not have a smoker there...they are already with rub in my fridge...can I smoke for several hours on Tuesday, wrap very tightly in foil and finish on a grill on Thurs evening?  Other option would be to slow cook in oven on Thurs afternoon and finish on grill Thurs evening..

Ribs won't be quite as good as when they first come out of the smoker, but they'll be fine heated up on the grill.  Just make sure to baste 'em while grilling (with something like a mix of apple juice and vinegar or whatever tastes good to you).  I probably wouldn't really "finish" them on the grill - more like "reheat".

If you use the 3-2-1 method then consider the last one as grill time.

I'm with Hal, you need to almost cook them so that you are out of the Danger zone of critters.

Several hours should be close to 5.
