My Nemesis!

Postby Bockbock » Fri Feb 16, 2024 8:25 am

Hey y'all, it's been a minute. Trying to start a brand new practice in a place I know absolutely nobody has been a challenge to say the least. I know God has a plan. Anyway, I have been smoking meats for over 10 yrs and the one meat that seems to kick my butt is......... RIBS? I don't understand it. Some are really good, some are just ok, no consistency what so ever. I need your help you BBQ Gurus. What do y'all do to get that finger lickin good product? I have tried 3-2-1, wrapped, unwrapped. I need some pointers. Thanks in advance. Hope everyone is Thriving in this crazy world. God Bless.

We've suffered inconsistencies, too. Sometimes it's not you; it's the ribs themselves.

Now if someone could tell us how to pick a good rack...

I just checked the Competition BBQ Forum. There is a Competition Ribs Roundtable thread pinned at the top. LOTS of great advice

I use the 3-2-1 method and I stress the last Step (#1) when you finish and GLAZE the Ribs.
Here is one of my favorite St. Louis Ribs COOK that I did last year and I really like this technique

I have had success and failure with most rib methods. I am convinced that the difference is in the quality of the ribs.
Recently I have been cooking them on the webber kettle and checking for doneness with a tooth pick.
When the tooth pick goes in with little to no resistance, they are fall off the bone tender.
