No Peek Ribs - first attempt
« on: April 10, 2016, 05:13:34 PM »
So I have been using the 2-2-1 method for my baby backs for a while. after suggestion by Tony (DM) to try the No Peek I gave it a shot!. I had prepared some Ribs for work using 2-2-1 on Saturday. after the 4 racks were smoked, I said, why not?   Sunday morning I ran out and got the ribs
1. used the mustard binder.
2. put some honey on top of the ribs.
3. added some Killer Hoggs rub. (I love watching Malcom Reed Youtube videos).. 
4. let them sit for about 20 minutes while I got everything ready (I know tony, overnight but it was a last minute thing!)
5.  in at 940 am with a water pan and I went on about my sunday chores
6. Pulled at 2pm and they were ready! juicy, and ready. I didn't expect the honey to make it for the 4 hours but it did!

I can say I like the 2-2-1 and lazy cue. I am not sure which way I will go in the future, maybe both! I need to see if doing 3,4, 5 racks of no peek get me to the same place as the 2-2-1. if so, I am sold
Let' s hear it for lazy cue!

The ribs look pretty darn good.

What temp did you smoke at?

Typically Baby Backs take 5-6 hours and Spare Rib/St Louis cuts take closer to 6-7 hours. But, this is a subjective number as the ribs are done when they get to the point that you like them done.

it's an analog SI2. I had set it for 235 (just like Tony's step by step ribs sticky says to).  I know it had a couple high peaks to 250 and swung down. Since they were no peek, I left and didn't spend anytime watching what happened.

there was only one rib in there on the second shelf from the top. it was cut in half and in the middle/little front of the rack.
I was surprised too when I went in at 4.5 hours but  the bones were pulling clean and the toothpick went through easy. and the taste was awesome !!!

I love the killer hoggs rub no matter what I put it on. (no I am not related nor do I get a commission if you were curious)  :)

Sounds like it was a winner.

That looks great Tom, I'm glad to hear that the honey turned out good on the Ribs. I might have to give it a try with the killer Hogs rub.
