Morning Brethren! Wifey wants ribs for dinner. I usually make a rub with sugar in the raw, brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic, ancho chili, smoked paprika and whatever else I find that sounds good lol. 2 hrs in 275 degree cherry wood smoke with AJ/ACV spritz every ½hr, 1 hr wrapped (approx) and then unwrapped for sauce. Sometimes I find my ribmeat to be a little chewy. It's like the cooking portion after wrapping turns the ribs to a leathery texture. Does anyone have any insight on this subject? Also please share your best recipe and happy smoking!

You might try putting some squeeze butter and some extra brown sugar on the ribs when you wrap them, helps create a little more moisture to help "steam" and moisturize the meat. Or, a little Apple Juice instead when you wrap.
Before you wrap, check your ribs for "flexibility", if they are still a little "stiff", they may need some more time. You might give them a little more time wrapped too.
How long on when saucing? I find that 15 min is usually enough to get a good set.
Let us know they turn out and dont forget the pics.

No need to wrap. Four hours at 250-275 until it passes the bend test. Done. Fool proof.

Try hanging them if you can. Best flavor in my opinion.

I second the adding butter even margarine or parkay makes a huge difference. If you don't want to wrap try spraying with I can't believe it's not butter, comes in a spray bottle and hanging them! Oooohhhh yeah
