    I had no idea what I was missing - best ribs I've ever eaten

    I've been smoking with my Masterbuilt Electric Smoker for the last 4 years and I thought it was pretty darn good food. So did my family and anyone else who came to my house.

    After tonights smoke (the 2nd on my new Rec Tec), I realized I had no idea what good ribs really were. They were better than any rids I ever put out on the MES. My family agreed. Best ribs I've ever eaten. Granted, I haven't really left the West Coast and I'm sure I could find some good ribs as I venture east.

    I purchased Meathead's book earlier this week and it came this morning. As the ribs were cooking I came across a blurb he mentions about this very thing. He was so right!

    I did 4 different flavors with one being the same as I've always done in the MES. I wanted to be able to compare apples to apples.

    They were:

    - Meatheads Memphis Dust with sauce added 20 minutes before completion - usually my families favorite. (photo: 1 toothpick)

    - Salt, Pepper, Garlic & Onion - felt like something more savory (photo: no toothpicks)

    - Rec Tec Rib Rub (photo: 2 toothpicks)

    - Meatheads Memphis Dust with extra brown sugar. Thanks Huskee. Yesterday I read an old post from you regarding the extra brown sugar. (photo: 1/2 toothpick)

    I cooked them for about 4 hours at 275. When I did them on the MES, I did the 2-2-1 method at 225.

    My favorite was the ribs with the extra brown sugar added.

    They had a great texture. Not fall off the bone but they were nice and tender.

    Enjoy the pics!


    Seasoned the night before.

    You have some great looking ribs. Since I purchased the SnS for my Weber kettle, I have not fired up my electric smoker.

        HOME RUN!! That is some gooooood looking ribs. Even if you cooked them like Huskee

        I used Huskee's rub as a base with some very minor adjustments, sprinkled the brown sugar and kosher salt on top. Smoked with gas and wood chunks. Out of this world!

                        Really nice! There's a rib place near me that the wife and I used to like... Until I learned how to make my own! Restaurant stuff just doesn't compare now.

                          Mrs and I went to Dinosaur in Syracuse, and now my ribs are NOT the best I've ever had. I know what to do to get them there, though.

                        Are you using a second pellet smoke source in the Rec Tec (Nice and Cozy Picture)?

                        In the picture is a 5x8 A-Maze-N but since then I found the 6" or 12" A-Maze-N tube works a lot better.
