Everyone likes ribs! Let's do some baby backs!
I started with some decent racks, washed them, dried them, pulled the membrane, trimmed the fat and rubbed them down. I put them in a giant ziplock bag and into the fridge overnight while my butt cooked.
I threw them on the Egg at about 12:30 PST and will check the bark at 2:30 to see if they're ready to foil.
Stay tuned... :clap2:
Pulled them from the Egg after the bark setup a bit. It was 2:15 into the cook.
Prepped for foiling.
Foiled!
All done. This was the first time that I used Harry's technique. I think they came out really good, but I didn't get a smoke ring. This is either an Egg issue, as I've been told, or I have some learning to do; probably a bit of both. I think it's clear that I'm going to get better smoke from my WSM, and that's where I'm going to do my next rack. I've never missed a smoke ring on the WSM. That's not to say that I have a problem with the Egg. It's a fine cooker and I've been cooking on it for 24 hours with great success all the way around.
Harry's technique puts out some sweet ribs, and I didn't get enough smoke on them to balance that out. Next time I'm going to go slightly lighter on the sweet and shoot for a nice ring on the WSM.
These ribs have not been sauced yet:
