I'm fairly new to cooking BBQ. I am super happy I found this site. YOu guys have been great. I'd love to here your thoughts on my 2nd rib cook.
My first one was a fast rib cook on my Weber with out the smokenator. I had a heat of 250-300 and only used the dome stock temp gauge. did 3 racks, cut up in half racks to fit. We foiled and moped them. We didnt know squat, about cooking BBQ. I literally had an idea about these awesome ribs i get when i go to Minneapolis, and played around..... They came out awesome. How'd we do it, no friggen clue.
Fast forward a few months. I get a smokenator, get the rib recipe off amazing ribs.com, grab some costco very meaty baby backs, and a grillin we will go.
I used corkys rub, just like last time. Had them rubbed the night before. Set up the smokenator for 250, used Kingsford Blue, minion method, and put on 3 racks.
After 4hrs I wrapped them in a mop sauce for 20min.
Put them back on heat for 5 min to sauce them.
Then smokey flavour was there but the were so DRY and Tough. Also no smoke ring.
What did I do wrong?
Were the ribs to meaty and therefore 2 dry?
Was the temp too low & too Long?
Was foiling them a bad idea?
I just can not put my finger on it. The first ones were very moist, and nice.
