I smoke baby backs at 225*-250*. Rubbed and 2.5 hours bone side down, wrap in foil with any one of these or a combo of them depending on what I am after...apple juice, orange juice, butter, chili sauce, brown sugar, maple syrup, jam, bourbon.....for 1 hour. Unwrap, sauce, and finish on grates for 30-40 minutes to caramelize the sauce. I can do light and fruity or rich and heavy depending on the mood.
Thank you very much for the info!Dirtytires wrote: ↑September 8th, 2022, 10:37 amBeef ribs get pulled according to internal temp....I aim for 200-203. Pork ribs are done when you grab half of them with a pair of tongs and the meat "breaks/pulls away" at the center- I never use a thermometer on pork ribs.
225-250 is perfect for pit temp, and yes, always bring your pit up to temp and stabilize before adding meat.
