Got a chance this weekend to pull out the smoker. These turned out great. Once again I made my own rub. Used sugar maple wood chucks from smokin it. Temp was set at 225 for the first 5 hours. After 5 hours I pulled the ribs and covered them in butter, honey, and turbinado sugar and wrapped them in foil. They went back on the smoker for an additional 3 hours. The last step was to give them a shinny glaze which turned out great. Another tip is that once the rub was made j run the entire mixture through a spice grinder. It turns it into a powder. It turns the entire mixture into a very fine powder which is good for even coverage of the meat. It also breaks the sugar down and it Carmelites in a more even fashion in the smoker.

Did I read that correctly? 8 hours for baby backs?

8 hours for back ribs is a new record, I believe! But, if they turned out like you like them, all's good! No "wrong way" in BBQ - just your way! 8) They look great!

8 hours may seem long. They went back into the smoker completely wrapped in foil.also with more moisture added to them. They were in effect steamed for the last leg.

Whatever works is good 8)

I've gone as long as 7 hours for a very thick set of St Louis cut ribs. So, 8 is not a total surprise to me depending on how thick the ribs were. Plus I still stick to the 225 temp versus the 235 that several have moved to. I have tried both temps and prefer the results I get when smoking at 225.

You can't argue with those results! They look absolutely delicious 😋! I need to get a spice grinder and try your method for the rub. Great job on those ribs.
