HI;
I'm about to head to the grocery and pick up some ribs for tonight, baby back are on sale. The last couple times we made ribs I baked them in the oven wrapped in foil at 300 for right about 3 hours and the very last time I made them, I didn't feel like that was quite long enough.
I'm reading smoker recipes that are stating to smoke ribs at 225 for 3 to 4 hours. Since it was taking me at least 3 hours in the oven at 300, I'm not seeing how ribs could be done in 3 to 4 hours at 225.
I just want to roughly plan for tonight, we will aim to eat around 8, so I can still manage a good 6 hours of smoking as of right now if I need to. I'm thinking at this point I should put them on as soon as I can and just keep them warm if I need to once they are done.
Any thoughts on the actual smoking time I should plan for? I did get a meat thermometer that was rated very well, but it is just a regular one, not a leave in one. I plan to get one of the leave in ones in the future from thermoworks or similar.
Thanks,
Jamie
