just a little rib practice

[bbqwizard]

I have been cooking comp style for a while now, so I decided to go back to my roots and cook low and slow and not use foil. I think this years comp season may have just taken a turn.

I like your thinking

That's a mighty nice looking rack of Ribs.

 

[Joe Black]

Great color, Philip. I think those will get a call.

This is the end product? Must have been a clean burning fire. What was it cooked on?

Yes, VERY clean. These were cooked on my Assassin 28 using BGE Organic lump, and cherry chunks.

Folks always say brisket is difficult but I have found getting consistency on ribs to be much more evasive.

The color you got looks awesome but just wondering, would it be different if this wasn't a "practice" cook and just for the table at home?

I have had different results with the different slabs in the same smoker, so it is easy to imagine the color could get away from you in a competition environment going unwrapped if you don't run really clean.

My wife loves ribs like these, so I generally always do them comp style at home, and also a rack for me (I like savory ribs most of the time).

So, the "test" was to see how they would turn out doing a version of my comp method, only not wrapping them. This made for a fun experiment, considering like you said, the longer you go unwrapped generally, the darker the product. I will have to do it again, just to be sure it wasn't a fluke.

Looks great. I would say the experiment was a success!

Thanks! Most definitely.

I just saw the pic you posted of yours. They look great as well!

 

[SeanBBQ]

Sexy looking ribs there. Looks like a good, successful cook.

 

[Bludawg]

If you can keep a clean fire you will get the same results it's really that simple

 

[ITBFQ]

Looking good!

 

[wtxsmoker]

That's the real deal right there. Real Q and not candy ribs

Looks delicious! Complimenti.
