Finally screwed up something on the Egg. Ribs were tough as hell. Felt like I could rip a phone book easier. Have to say the flavor was otherworldly. Just shy of five hours, raised indirect at 250. Only lifted the lid to put on the Blues Hog Honey Mustard. That stuff tastes amazing. Ribs were previously frozen on sale at HEB. Well Forrest Gump said it right, "it happens."

How'd they do on the bend test? You think they were over or under-cooked?
-
They bent but wouldn't break. There a chance they weren't done?

Yep! My guess is they were undercooked.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

Here is a quick test. Cut one rib off, toss it in the microwave for a minute.
After which, tell me if the tenderness is better.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ.... -
Temp was 165. Do you take ribs up to 180-190?

250 just shy of 5 hours and the 2nd picture
My vote us under done. Just under done._______________________________________________XLBGE -
Very much undercooked. Ribs are not a fine cut like a steak. You need to break down the inter-muscular fat so you'll likely be above 180-190 to get that done. I have never temped ribs, as I usually do the bend test (occasionally I'll do the toothpick test).GQuiz said:Temp was 165. Do you take ribs up to 180-190?

I don't do ribs by temp, I do em by time. I did 3 racks today, 260 to 275 dome for 5 hours. When they pass the bend test I pull one rack and take a sample... If they aren't done they are gummy cuz not all the fat has rendered down. @cazzy - good call on the microwave test.
-
When you say bend test, what do you mean? Do they start to fall apart?

Did they do this??GQuiz said:When you say bend test, what do you mean? Do they start to fall apart?

Pick em up towards the end and they will bend to close to 90 degrees, not at a right angle of course, and not break.
-
pick up half the rack with thongs, the other half should fall and bend 90 degrees. Never done temp on ribs, but 160 is way to low. What everyone else said is perfect._______________________________________________XLBGE

Nope. I hate wasting good meat. Another hour and I would have been gold.

another thing, in the second picture the meat looks like a pork chophaha I have no idea what that means but it's something cazzy wont say!_______________________________________________XLBGE

So GQuiz, did you throw a rib in the microwave? Honestly, this go around, your left overs will be better than your initial cook.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

Make you a deal MCN, you too Cazzy, I post something FUBAR, please don't be afraid to point it out. The second picture does look like a pork chop. I'll learn. If it means getting hammered so be it. Just as long as I'm not worried about losing a tooth tugging on a rib. Only six months in on this journey... Got a ways to go.

Cazzy, I left half a rack in foil on the snuffed grill for an hour for a friend. Chances are they're perfect. Ironic isn't it?

MCN, hope I'm not out of line. I want to learn. And I don't want to piss in your Wheaties. I mean it. Please don't be afraid to let loose if I tee it up for you. I spent 5 hours on a Saturday afternoon undercooking some St Louie's. One more hour and I would a happy man. But five other noobs or lurkers will learn while I get "pimp-slapped". My wings last night turned out great. So I'm 1 for 2 for the weekend. I'll try again next weekend. Thanks for your help.

Ill make you a deal. Next time you post a cook that is terrible, ill just coddle you and pat you on the back. You'll think your the rib king and have a ton of your friends over and serve chewy plastic ribs.
Your first comment did not come across humerus, but sarcastic. You started asking for help and that is what you got._______________________________________________XLBGE -
I never meant to be sarcastic. I'm too new to offer sarcasm. The post just came across wrong.

You're fine, MCN is just mad you didn't ask him about his KY Ribs. :PGQuiz said:I never meant to be sarcastic. I'm too new to offer sarcasm. The post just came across wrong.

@cazzy... Trying the ribs again today. Will be patient this time. Trying a rack with Bad Byron's and the Raspberry Chipotle marinade from HEB. Will let you know. Using hickory chunks. Makes me salivate thinking about it.

Pay dirt!!! And let me throw in a plug for raspberry chipotle marinade from HEB. SWMBO does not like ribs. She did tonight. Used Bad Byron's for the rub. No coddling needed.

How do you pick em up with thongs? Wrap the middle string around one end?MrCookingNurse said:pick up half the rack with thongs, the other half should fall and bend 90 degrees. Never done temp on ribs, but 160 is way to low. What everyone else said is perfect.
