So I have not done any ribs in YEARS. Did a rack of St Louis ribs tonite. The good news is , they were tender and tasty (at least the family thought so ). The challenging news is that they were about the ugliest ribs one could look at. I did them with a dry rub, and by the time I got to hour #6, most all the ribs were showing . They were really tender , and the flavor was good -- smoked them at an average of 250 -- but they would have won NO beauty contests. Curious if all your rib bones show at the end as well ....thx

Did St Louis ribs this week. Definitely had all the bones showing. Don't have a good picture.
They also didn't take 6 hrs. I had 3 hrs, then rapped in butcher paper for 1 hr. All at 250.
15 mins for sauce to firm up.

Check out Troutman s rib primer. Good pics there. That shows the meat pulling back from the bone.

This was the first batch I did with a layer of POG and then a layer of MMD for the rub.
Bark came out great.
Also first time I've wrapped. But a total smoke time of 4 hrs 15 mins.
I know other folks have used the 3-2-1 method. I've never tried it myself. Went to public school in Arkansas.... All them numbers just confuse me.

Are you talking about the meat pulling back from the ends of the rib bones, or seeing the bones front and back through the meat itself. If the latter, then for my tastes, that indicates they were over cooked. While I know some folks like there ribs falling off the bones, to me, if you can see the bones and pull them out of the rib meat by hand, they are over cooked. Also, I know that BFlynn has a PBC, though I'm not sure he used it for his cook, ribs tend to cook faster in a PBC than in most other cookers. It is a rib cooking machine.Last edited by pkadare; July 20, 2020, 01:25 AM.

I did a batch on my BKK on sat, one rack was beauty, the other like yours....butt ugly.
No two racks of ribs cook exactly the same, the beauty was probe tender before the ug's.
They did show some bone which I'm good with, you have to expect some shrinkage during the cook.
They weren't fall of the bone, I like a little fight outta ribs when eating.
If anything they were just the tiniest bit drier than I like, which I attributed to the extra cook time for the ug rack.
It was a 4 hour cook in the 240-280 range.
At the end of the day they disappeared fast, real fast.
One of my best rib cooks if I do say so myself.
