Some help w/ BB ribs please --have never done before and will be only my 5th cook on new Traeger Silverton

Hi Rod,

What temp are you looking for w/ probe ?

[barebear]

Here they are at 5hrs 225 deg. w/ tiny amt of bone just starting to show --any recommendations on what instant read Thermopro temp I'm looking for to put on the maple glaze ? I'm getting scared of overcooking.

[mnavarre]

With ribs you're not really looking for a temp with the probe, it's a feel thing. Get a thin skewer like a toothpick, a cake tester or an instant read thermometer, and probe between the bones. There should be a little initial resistance breaking through the bark and then almost no resistance. Kind of like a perfectly baked potato. On BBs this is likely to happen between 190 - 203, but every rack is different, so probing by feel is a better bet than temp.

Oh, and do this from the meaty side and in a couple of spots on each rack.

[barebear]

I saw this just after I posted pict. of finished prod.--these guys were super meaty -cut one rack and white w/ pink smoke ring but camera on my old flip phone couldn't show it. Did toothpick them and no resistance at all; temp read app 185. TYSM for your help.

And here is the finished product,,,,,,I cut one rack abnd there is a pretty pink smoke ring but the camera on my flip phone wouldn't show it so y'all gots to settle for this .. ( snivel LOL)

[fuzzydaddy]

They look great to me!

[mnavarre]

Those look fantastic!

[Bumby]

Nice!

[Mosca]

Holy heck, you just made some ribs!

[barebear]

And they came out better than I'd hoped for --especially for my first try at BB's

[obiQsmoker]

Drooling here! What’s YOUR take on how they came out barebear?

[barebear]

Very juicy and flavorful --came off bone w/o falling off, but clean bone per pix in MHG book - last temp check in middle of big piece of meat away from bone was 185 app --had never done BB before --think they may have more going for them than SL re flavor/juiciness/texture. Maple glaze recipe rocks - wife who doesn't like ribs thought they were " first rib I've liked " Poor deprived girl LOL !

[obiQsmoker]

Outstanding!
Had similar experience w/my first ribs - wife was just OK with ribs until my first batch off the smoker and she told me I could do that ANY time I liked! Memphis Dust and d a nice sauce … and that smoke!... dang, now I'm drooling again. Anyway, grats on a rockin' cook!

[Nuke em]

See piece of cake. Don’t fret none. All that worrying for nuttin. Good job.

[Fire Art]

barebear Nice job. Sorry for not responding to your temp question, but mnavarre answered exactly how I would have. Hope they tasted as good as they look!
