Pork Ribs Without Foil

[Mattb82]

Thanks for all the feedback. I'm anti foil with everything beef, looks like I'm moving that way with pork as well

Save the foil for... well - I'm not sure but save it... call it conservation so your children and their children can not use it on their ribs too. Well you get the point.

I only wrap my butts in foil, well, not MY butt but the butts...um, anyway - just before they go into the cooler.

 

[Mattb82]

Just came off. No foil

No foil, came out great

 

[Springram]

Those look great! Bet they tasted great too! What did you use for your rub?

 

[Mattb82]

Thanks man. Spog with some ground turbinado sugar and a light dusting of chipotle pepper on one. Second one I did a layer of kosmos dirty bird, cow cover and killer bee

Looks good Matt

No foil now, it is just not needed.

What do you guys think?

Gone to butcher paper and like that fact that I am getting more smoke to the meat.

Foiled ribs can be good




But so can nekkid




I like to mix it up with ribs.

No foil here either, I used to but much prefer it without. Cook until they pass the bend test and they're done.

 

[THoey1963]

Nah, foiled ribs are horrible. Just look at these disgusting things...

 

[SmittyJonz]

I go Nekid whole cook,.

 

[Mattb82]

Those look great Thoey. I think it just comes down to the slight texture difference for me when I go foil vs no foil that I like.

I don't foil anymore.. when i started i did, i think i did 3-2-1 a couple of times then realized i don't like mushy pork I use a Bullet without a waterpan or spritz and no foil.. 225-250 for 5ish hours and i'm a happy guy..

Well.. the people i give it all away to are happy.. i just hit 200# so no more eating the stuff i cook Already a giant fatass not gonna get bigger

P.S. sorry this thread is a few weeks old.. just ran into it doing a search..

Ribs look good Matt. Your going to have some happy friends and family eating those.

No foil, came out great

 

[Papa Don]

I agree, I've changed to not foiling out of just being lazy. Turns out I like them better that way.

I used to foil and do the 3.2.1 thing at 225. The ribs were good but lacked something and quite frankly 6 hours is not necessary. I have not foiled my ribs in several years. Now I cook at 275 and spritz with apple juice every 30 minutes or so. 3 hours for backs and 4 hours for spares. No mop and sauces on the table in squirt bottles.

This is exactly what I do too. Always had good results.

 

[BigBobBQ]

I have never wrapped any of my bbq, just personal preference.

I go Nekid whole cook,.

Nice to know--but what do you do with the ribs??
