Title: rib question
Post by: rober on July 15, 2024, 08:44:52 AM
i've been cooking my ribs in my cajun bandit smoker for awhile. low & slow, 250* for 1.5 hours & another hour wrapped in foil. it's been a good formula. the last 2 times however wrapping them overcooked them to where the meat fell from the bone & they were greasy. i did everything the same as before. today i'm cooking them at 225 for 2 hours & will wrap them after i take them off the grill & see how that works.

Interesting. I generally budget at least 5 hours in the 225-250 range

My experience is with St. Louis style and it's more the 2 hour smoke, wrap 2 hours and unwrap and glaze 30 mins or so.  More like Mopar here.

Are you using Baby Backs?

i ran them at 225 for 2.5 hours, removed & wrapped them ( off the grill ). they were perfect. i still wonder what changed from the first cook.

That's my method.  Slight differences in time depending on the temp I run.   I tend to run lower temps in the first few hours and bump it up in the wrap.
