Here's a trick, it took me years to learn it,
Fire up your cooker. When you can maintain the temp you want to cook with for an hour without adjustment, (this suggests you know your cooker), rub lightly, (I never rub anything more than 4 hours before cooking. I don't care what you read on the interweb.!>!>!>), and, add the ribs.
Smoke until they are what you want to eat. Do NOT foil, lay in oven, simmer in apple juice, boil or simmer or steam at all.When they seem like you want to eat them, take them off. This recipe has served mankind in general for over 15,000 years. Try it yourself, master it, then start looking for short cuts.
Tip, there aren't any. You won't find them, but it's funny to watch newbies look for them. Most people will suggest that there are shortcuts, like foil etc, but this is just a distraction, keep it pure and you'll be heavenly with a little practice. People didn't do it the same way for 300 years because they had no other options. They did it because it worked best.
TIP, No matter what anyone says, I never remove the membrane. Why would you? Because someone else told you to? if they did, they are probably on 1,000 different posts, reccomending all sorts of crazy things. Try this, master it and then change it. otherwise, you don't know what difference your own special changes have made. First, get consistent, second start changing things.
Just an old school opinion for anyone who cares.
