Kansas City style ribs, no foil verses foil test - Page 2

Great thread!

Whenever I use foil on my ribs, they seem to be TOO moist- almost mushy. Been doing them without foil the last few times and getting great results. Like the texture & a lil bit of bite. Just my preference. Family seems to agree.

I've experimented with the foil mod on ribs and i've found that 40min works best for me. I tried 2hrs once and we ate them with a straw. YUCK! I settled on 3hrs or until the ribs feal slightly limp when lifted from one end. Forty minutes in foil and a short time back on the fire to carmelize the sauce. Or some times I just pull em off at the end of forty minutes and let them rest in the foil. Slice and sauce afterwards.

Thanks all for the nice comments. I like the non-foiled ribs myself becasue it just seems to have a better texture. Family likes the foiled so I will have to do both.
