I'm going to try a hot-and-fast brisket tonight after work. Haven't done that method before. I've got an 11-pound packer ready to go, and had planned to do it all day tomorrow, but am liking the idea of getting it done in half-the-time. Hopefully it works!

Just prepped and seasoned up 9 racks of BBR's for the smoker in the morning.

This time I'm actually going to try to do them right by foiling them so they don't get dry at all on the outside. Is there an exact science as to when is the best time to do that? I'm not saucing them up as they're going to be Atkins friendly.

Not an exact thing... but the rule of thumb I learned is:

At 225-230

Spares 3/2/1
BBs 2.5/1.5/.5

The first number is on the smoker uncovered. The next number is wrapped in foil and back on the cooker. The last number is a variable. I open the foil and that is my finishing time. I like the rub to set back up and not be too moist. Some folks use this as time in a cooler to finish.

After you have cooked ribs for a while you may find that you adapt that a bit. I pretty much cook them to the color I want then foil (usually right about three hours or so). Then I cook them two more hours. Then I start checking them every 15 minutes or so until they are the doneness I am looking for.

That's more than enough to get me in the ballpark of getting it right. I'll probably throw them on after I get my son down for a nap. Thanks!

Hello Duane, this info is from Bill at texasbbqrub.com and is similar to what Brent mentioned above for your review:

"Spare ribs: If you are cooking on a pit (low and slow about 225 degrees is great) then the general rule of thought is to do the ribs using the 3-2-1 method. That is the method that says 3 hours uncovered on the pit, then wrap for 2 hours, and then take them out of the foil and put them back on the pit for another hour to tighten the rib back up. I find that wrapped 2 hours the ribs are overcooked so use the same method and do the ribs 3 hours on the pit unwrapped then 1 to 1 ½ hours wrapped then another hour unwrapped back on the pit to tighten up the ribs. If you are applying a glaze or sauce it is best to apply that the last 20 minutes of the cooking when the ribs are tightening back up.

Baby Back ribs:
For the smoker, use the same method but cut your time to say 2 hours on the smoker unwrapped, 1 hour wrapped, and then 30 minutes back on the smoker uncovered to tighten the ribs back up.

If you are cooking baby backs on the grill then use a 1 hour on the grill, 45 minutes wrapped and then 15 minutes to tighten the ribs back up. If you are cooking on the grill it is usually best to turn the ribs during cooking so that both sides get even exposure to the heat. I usually turn mine about every 15 minutes or so."

Sorry for the delay! Lump crab was mixed with a little mayo, mustard and bread crumbs.

Put them on the WSM for an hour with hickory chucks. They were quite good. Just the right amount of smoke to give it great flavor!

Here's a thought-

This only calls for 3.5 hours of cooking time total, but at what what do you think they're figuring the racks to be? I saw a "Best Ribs in the Universe" recipe call for racks less than 2 lbs each, whereas the ricks I just put on the smoker 20 minutes ago are averaging about 3.3 lbs each. I'd think they'd need more time than that.

Default Re: What's in your smoker?

The only time I really cook BBs is for competition. We are cooking at a slightly higher temp, about 260, and the racks are in that 3.5lb range. They are usually done right at about 4.5 hours give or take 15 minutes. It is about 3 hours in the smoke and about 1.5 hours wrapped in foil. Once they are done we just let them sit out with the foil open to reset the rub. Pretty much though, get them to the color you want, foil them for an hour or so and start checking them. When you can pick them up in the middle and the ends bend down easily they are done. I also look for the rub to crack a bit in the middle where I am picking them up.
