Rib cook

JMo

We had our neighborhood rib cook-off yesterday. These took second place. Not bad I guess. These were the best I have ever cooked and had many good comments. I will be practicing these to make them better next year.

I smoked these indirect @ 250 dome for 3.5 hrs w/ apple and cherry wood, foiled 1hr with brown sugar, apple juice then finished with sauce.

Thanks for all the help.

This is my first picture post. Hope it works.

Congrats, JMo, those look very good. What sauce did you go with?

I rubbed with Dizzy Pig dust and sauced with Blues Hog. I really liked how these turned out. I took advice from many on this forum. They had great flavor and were very tender (just starting to fall off the bone). I received very high marks in all areas. Some of them marked me down a bit for tenderness. The winners were overdone so I assume they liked them totally fall off the bone done. He also went outside the box and used a sauce that had apple chunks in it. I would normally be dissapointed with 2nd because he has won three years in a row now but I believe mine were better this time around. I could have left them in the foil for another hr if I knew they liked them like stew.

I'm with you Jmo- anyone can make fall off the bone ribs, but those who know Q appreciate that perfect texture. Based on the pics those look great.
