St Louis Ribs Personal Best

I cook quite a bit and I have been itching to build a fire so today I rolled out the Shirley to try something different.  I smoked the ribs 4 1/2 hrs then wrapped for an hour and fifteen minutes then back on the smoker for about 10 minutes to dry them out a little.  Smoke ring came out so big it looked like ham.  Wow a refined light smoky taste. SWMBO said a personal best.

    They look great. Were they fall off the bone after nearly a 6 hour cook? What temp on the Shirley?

    @WeberWho I averaged 275 and they cane out a shade more tender than a competition bite.  Actually perfect for home consumption.  Clean bones.  I cook on racks on top of foil pans so I don’t have to clean the baffle plate to put it back in the garage.  The pans block the radiant heat from the plate and disrupt the air flow that seems to slow cooking times down.  I also did an eight pound pork butt on the hotter side that took about 9 hours.

    Looks great,
     I’m not a huge fan of the “competition bite”.
    im good with falling mostly off the bone as long as it has good flavor.
