I am entering my 1st BBQ comp this month on the 22nd and am using my Orion as my smoker. Has anyone used their "O" to cook ribs in a comp before? Im starting to get a lil intimidated knowing that alot of the teams there will have their smokers/rig that usually take 4-5 hour to smoke their ribs while mine will be done in 1hr 15-1hr 30min. By competition standards they dont want meat that falls off the bone, if it does its considered overcooked. The judges are looking for a slight tug with a clean bite & I'm afraid that with me using the "O", one bite and all the meat will just fall off. What I did try this past weekend was cook them in the "O" for the time it calls for, remove them and wrap them in foil for about 30 min and then toss them back on the grill for about 10-15 to tighten them up/glaze the sauce. Has anyone had any luck doing ribs in a comp or any advice as to what I can/could do? Thanks again.
