My plan for ribs tomorrow

Newbie with first attempt at ribs. Picking up 3 racks of baby backs tonight cause wife wants BBs. Tomorrow, I'll remove from fridge about 30 minutes before cooking, apply vegetable oil lightly and coat with Bad Byron's Butt Rub (cause that's what I have). Heat BGE to 225 and add 3-4 apple wood chunks. Put drip pan on plate setter and add apple juice and water to pan. Put ribs on cooking grid bone side down (or V-rack???), close dome and smoke for 2 hours. Remove, wrap in HD aluminum foil with Parkay margarine, honey and apple juice, close up and place back on grill bone side up for one hour. Take out of foil and place back on grill bone side down for one hour, or until internal temp is 190, or bend test tells me they are done. Paint with sauce about 10-15 minutes before removing from egg.
Ok, since this is my first rub smoke, do you see any red flags? Thanks in advance.

sounds good , although Wrapping them may not be necessary . I think with wrapping them you gamble loosing great bark .
I have had success with ribs many times and never wrapped them . . Also no need for a v rack .
If you have the room to put them down then do that .
The bend test works !! No need to rely on a 190 for these
oh and also post pics and let us know how it goes !!

Not to say your plan won't work, because it will but I don't foil and I don't use any liquid in the drip pan. Use some foil balls to space your drip pan off the platesetter (air gap) . I usually pull the membrane from the ribs prior to cooking. Don't sweat the temp too much, your egg ( or at least mine) finds where it is happy, usually 250-275 .Enjoy !!!!Ova B.

What size egg do you have? On a large egg, I find that 3 full slabs doesn't really fit without a V-rack. I have seen it done in pics...but maybe we have bigger pigs in my area . Usually I can only get a full rack across the grid in the very center.I would bump the temp up to at least 250, and consider going 3 hours, 1 in foil, 1 more out of foil.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

There were done and very good last weekend. Like Pants said use the bend test. These took 110 mins.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

Your plan will work... Personally I don't foil mine. Hey don't miss the opportunity. If you're doing 3 racks try different ways Foil one, don't foil one, use oil on one and try yellow mustard on one. See which ones you like

Smoky, I have the large egg. Might be right about the space. I plan on cutting the slabs in half and placing them around. If it fills up, I'll save rest for next day.

SmokinDawg, I'll take that suggestion about trying different styles. Thanks.

Sounds great. The only thing I would do is bump my temp up to 250-270* range. Good luck with the cook....BBs are great on the Egg, one of my favorites.

Run to lowe's and get a small weber grid and 4-5 bolts, nuts and washers...make a raised 2nd level. 2 racks on the bottom and 1 on top. Your plan looks good.Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

Remember to slice then parallel to the bone!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.____________________Aurora, Ontario, Canada
