LSBS Ribs

[JBROOKS3]

For LSBS do they want fall off the bone ribs or do they want the bite mark rib?

[Boots]

Bite mark

[Davidtxs]

Ya what boots said or you can look at it like whatever the genpop wants the judges want the opposite

[FR8 Train]

Well I don't believe the judges get to bite the ribs or even pick them up for that matter. Think it's a plastic fork and knife job. Therefore, better make them easy to cut. Basically what I'm trying to say is fall off the bone is fine if that is how you like them.

Fall off the bone for all Texas competitions.....no matter the assn....

[NPayne1]

Fall off the bone. They are only allowed to use a plastic fork and knife, so make it tender and easy to cut. I practice at home using a plastic fork/knife.

[Brandon87]

Fall off the bone for sure

[Mr. Orange]

Cooked to fall off the bone, but pull them off the pit early to rest and firm up before turn in.

Just make sure when they are cut and put in the box they look like a rib and not a heap of shredded pork with a bone sticking out when you cut them.

You want to find that happy part where they are fall off the bone, but not mushy.

Yep, I'm gonna say whoever says bite mark in a TX comp, has never cooked a TX comp.

The judges can't handle the rib, so there's no way for them to get a bite mark on the ribs. They must cut the meat off with a plastic knife and fork.

As said above, fall off bone, but not mushy.

Bingo! In the handful of comps I've done I've never made top 10 in ribs. My last comp (besides changing my entire recipe) I cooked them a little more tender, fall of the bone but not mushy and finally a walk - 2nd place.

Gonna cook 4 slabs from now on so in case I manhandle a few ribs during slicing I got plenty more to get it right.

Fall off the bone!
I learned this after finally judging one. There were some bite through ones on my table and the other judges were calling them tough.
